http://www.htcomp.net/jcgs/vb/HTML/VB.htm The History of Johnson County and Surrounding Area by Viola Block - 1970 http://htcomp.net/jcgs/vb/html/vb1.htm Cleburne had three hangings of men named John. On June 26, 1896 on the north side of Harrell St. just west of the Buffalo Creek bridge a man named John Wilkins was hanged for the supposed killing of Grince Taylor, who lived near Grandview. This hanging drew a crowd of 10,000 people. John W. Renfro was hanged for the murder of M. M. Williams, prominent Egan farmer. Williams was shot five times in rapid succession at the south door of the courthouse in Cleburne in 1899. The killing grew out of a case in the county court. Renfro had been charged with slandering Williams' daughter. Both parties were on their way to attend the trial when the shooting occurred. A lynching was feared, but prevented. John Shaw was hanged for the murder of Tom Crane in 1898. A Negro accomplice, Lee Wilson, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Shaw escaped from prison once, but was recaptured and hanged. The site of Joseph Shaw's log cabin was later Compton's drug store. Joe Shaw also operated the Cleburne House, established by Mrs. Wren, which had a livery stable behind it, run by Fowler & Lister. The Cleburne House had many proprietors. From a log cabin it became a three-story brick. T. Lowrence, Cleburne jeweler, was a long time resident of the Cleburne House, moving here in 1875. Rev. Joshua Cook (Boone), famous hunter and writer, moved into the Cleburne House in 1889.

Please...no more discussion on Virus' or virus warnings. I thought long and hard before I posted what I did, and I hope I wasn't wrong to do it. I didn't want to start a virus dialogue on the list. Thanks everyone! Anne

any one with links to a Shaw family from lockington or Kegworth please let me now regards Karen

Hello, I thought you might be interested in the following: Anthony Shaw (III) b. Nov 30 1725 in Little Compton, RI, son of Anthony and Rebecca Wood Shaw, had six wives. #1 wife - Rebecca Kirby - children: Mercy #2 wife - Waite Perry - children: Stephen, Sarah, Benjamin, Perry, John, Arnold, Perry. #3 wife - Susannah Butts - children: Anthony, Content #4 wife - Mary Green - children: Susannah, Stephen, Rebecca. #5 wife - Remember Goddard - children: Remember #6 wife - Ann Dyre There seems to be some confusion as to the number of children he had as well as which children came from which wife. The above is what I have, but I have seen other accounts. Can you staighten me out? Thanks, Eleanor

First of all, let me state that as far as I know, these Shaws are not related to me, but then, I could be wrong...........anyway thought the info might help someone out there. The following is found in the 1885 KS census for Cowley county: name age, sex,color, married (s) Occup. born to KS from Shaw, Andrew 44,M,W,md. farmer IN IN Shaw, Hannah 34,F,W,md. OH IN Shaw, Charles C. 16,M,W,s IN IN Shaw, Joseph O. 13,M,W,s IN IN Shaw, John M. 11,M,W,s IN IN Shaw, Wm B. 6,M.W.s IN IN Shaw, Edward 3 mo, M,W,s KS KS Adams, Isaac 22,M,W,s farmer MO MO next family listed is Adams, so Isaac must have been a farmhand or visiting) The Shaws that I know are "mine" are also in this census as follows: Shaw, David 35,M,W.md farmer OH IN Susan 35,F,W,md OH OH *Susan's maiden name is Whinnery Shaw, Dennis 36,M,md farmer OH IN Minerva (Beck) 40, F, md OH IN Wm. 17,M,s IN IN David 19, M,s KS IN (KS) Mary 15, F,s IN IN Elmer 11,M,s KS KS John 9,M,s KS KS Charles 7,M,s KS KS Freddie 3,M.s KS KS Sullivan, Wm 27, M,s farmer OH IN Shaw, Ed 23,M,s IN IN I copied this as it was written in the census--the age is incorrect on David........Dennis and Minerva's first two children were born in IN and the rest in KS The 23 yr old Ed Shaw is a mystery to me.........he must be related, but I don't know how. If anyone recognizes this Ed Shaw, please let me know.......... Thanks, Carol in MO PS-Dennis is my ggrandfather, David would be his brother.............there was also a cousin Wilson Shaw living in Cowley co at that time

Alexander Shaw. Alexander was born 15 May 1814 in Balnaglaic, Dores, Inverness, Scotland. His parents were Donald Shaw and Mary Noble. His sibling is William SHAW born 3rd November 1811 at the same place. Alexander married Jane Grant in Inverness in 1848. He gave his address as parish of Daviot. They then migrated to Australia. His parents were listed as deceased on the ships manifest. Would appreciate any information, assistance etc and would love to hear from any relatives.

Discussion of the TROJ_BADTRANS.A virus continues on several lists. Without permission and with profuse apologies for the off-topic message, I submit the following in the hopes of putting this one to bed and maybe preventing these problems in the future. Also, I am submitting this to several Lists so you may well get more than one copy. Again, my apologies - hopefully the results will outweigh the offense. IF YOU MUST RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE, DO IT TO ME PRIVATELY AT PRSMITH@PDQ.NET OR TO THE LISTOWNER - NOT TO THE LIST! First, you DID NOT and CAN NOT get infected by a virus, worm, trojan or any other nasty via this or any other list. It only APPEARED to come from the list - it's a tricky virus. So you got infected? It's a shame you attempted to open an attachment when you weren't absolutely certain of the contents. This virus could easily have overwritten your fat tables and boot sector rendering your hard drive useless. In that light, the virus author has done you a favor. There are two lessons to be learned here: First, your ONLY certain defense is regular, reliable backups (including off-site in case of fire.) Second, your virus protection program is only good against KNOWN viruses. Neither Norton or McAfee had anything on this virus for two days AFTER I became aware of it. Also, these programs will do absolutely no good unless you have the latest .dat files. Have you updated them today? Third, you can not trust ANY attachment regardless of the source UNLESS the source has verified the content and purpose of the attachment to your satisfaction.

My brick wall has been ARON (yes, spelled with one R) Shaw. Family states that his name was Aron, and this name and spelling was passed on to my grandfather George Aron Shaw. However, census and other records refer to him as Wiley Shaw, using the four sons and location as proof that this was our man. Aron/Wiley had four sons - Willis Riley Shaw (b 1860), John, Robert (b 1862), and George. His wife's name was Phoebe or Phebe, last name unknown. Wiley also shows in the Cumberland County, Illinois, 1860 census. Toledo, IL seemed to end up as a home base. Other info shows the family in Coles County (Charleston, IL). One set of records shows him born in Illinois, another in Pennsylvania. The obituary for his son Willis (d 1933) states "Mr. Shaw was born June 17, 1860, in Charleston, Ill. His parents died when he was a small boy and he was left to make his own way." The obituary for Robert Shaw (d 1945) states "Robert Shaw, son of Wiley and Phoebe Shaw, was born in Crawford County, Illinois on October 16, 1862 and departed this life on September 25, 1945, at the age of 82 years, 11 months and 10 days." Any help? Bob Shaw
