That awful, dirty, sordid etc word Housebound is a terrible word to use so early in the day <VBG> Yes i am house bound so know exactly every ones feelings on it. A short story to follow. You see my only living sibling is a 60 year old mentally handi capped young lady and still believes in santa and the easter bunny. So every year i am easter bunny and santa. Well this year!!! We have solid mud and water for over 50 to 75 feet in length. Ca 40 feet wide. Now my grandson who is in a band will be playing this week end. Wanted to go!!! Wedding shower for a niece ca 65 miles away. Wanted to go. Then easter. Had to call my daughters and cancel easter dinner here. No way to get my sister thru the water!! Talk to my Lord many times a day as i have not had a cigarette will be 4 weeks monday coming up!! Am so proud of my self but want to cry or what ever because i cannot get out. Plus my drive way is nine tenths of a mile long. Do not know if i put that right. Almost a mile long drive way. Also on tues nite the big big error sign came up. Tried to ignore but it wouldnt. So finally had to click close. Have done it before and no problems. But this time WOW!! Took me two days to get my desk top and windows back on as my mind is getting old and i wanted a cigarette so badly. But i done it and without a cigarette to!!! This is not fiction. I repeat this is not fiction!!! So Happy Easter Every One. Thank you. Viola.

Lets give the alphabet thing a try. Sounds like a good idea to me. Bobbalee

Hello Listers, I am new to your list and am searching for information on William SHAW dob 1811 in Birmingham, England I need to confirm that he married Elizabeth YARDLEY dob ? between 1830 and 1840 since a son was born to them in 1840 any help would be greatly appreciated Regards, Lois (in sunny Florida) Our perfect companions, seldom have fewer than four feet.

Hi, I'm new to this. I'm looking for relatives of my grandfather Thomas Dickinson Shaw who was born I believe in 1882 and lived in Dalton in Furness before moving to Rhodesia, Africa where my father Harry Parkinson Shaw was born. My grandfather died in Africa at which time my father and his family moved back to Dalton in Furness where they lived for several years and then moved to Canada. I believe siblings of my grandfather were Harry, Samuel, Nora, Minnie, Elizabeth, Elsie and Nellie. My name is Alan Shaw.

Yea vote here as well! Cathy

Well, I love the idea of listing names by alphabet. I wonder how long I might have to wait for Warren Shaw to come up? Actually, Claudia, I've been looking for John Shaw for several years, and haven't found the right one yet! When I get tired of looking for him, I go over to Jonathan Smith and his wife Anna Brown! If you have found my John and his wife Persis Shaw, who were in Johnstown, New York, in 1808, having a baby (Warren Shaw), please let me know.

Just brainstorming again..(sprained my ankle and am housebound/computer bound)..if you decide to do the alphabet research ...and instead of by state, how about time periods... Given Name starting with "A" living during 1600-1700 (give or take a year or so) then "A" living during 1700-1800, etc. Ok..will let you decide. Susan

I for one think using the alphabet would be great. I didn't find a connection with the States, but you can bet I was watching it close for any and every Samuel Shaw born around 1843 in Ohio and Virginia. I would have something to look forward to when the S came up. You have my vote.

Dear Connie: Actually...no, I hadn't already picked up on this. It went right over my head! Thanks for catching this! I probably wasn't concentrating as I should have been because it is a pet peeve of mine when people can manage to get themselves onto lists, but can't for the life of them seem to manage to get themselves back off when they choose, so they end up disrupting the entire list with their unsubscribe commands! :) It happens to all of us from time to time because we simply forget to put the word '-request' after the 'SHAW-L', but some people make a career out of it by deliberatly emailing the list in the first place, then continuing to email the list (apparently expecting a different result each time!), becoming crankier with each new email because they haven't been instantly unsubscribed. I am more than happy to unsubscribe someone if they ask nicely. Give me a chance to see the email first before you start getting impatient and email the list again and again. Or try emailing me directly (not through the list), and writing 'TO ANNE' in the subject line of the email so I can see it is for me, and is not routine list mail. Contrary to what some might think, I am not sitting here hour by hour day by day monitoring the email as it comes in! :) Nobody does, because this list is not moderated. So please realize that it might take me a day or so to see your email, depending on how busy the list mail is, and how busy I am. For that reason, you will be unsubscribed much more quickly if you learn to do it yourself. The formula for subscribing to and unsubscribing from ALL rootsweb lists is the same. To UNSUBSCRIBE: <List Name>-L(or -D if digest mode)-request@rootsweb.com Using that formula, to unsubscribe from the Shaw list you would address your email thusly: SHAW-L-request@rootsweb.com or if you are subscribed in digest mode: SHAW-D-request@rootsweb.com Type only the word unsubscribe in the body of the message. Nothing is necessary in the subject line. There...now that's off my chest! I think I will edit the tag lines for the list, and include unsubscribe information there. Anne > You may have already picked up on this Anne, but I know you meant to say > put unsubscribe, in this situation.

Anne, are you the list administrator? I am not sure how to contact you directly..but had a thought about the program... When we finish researching SHAWs in States/Countries, could we then start with the alphabet? Like A...for those researching Angus - Archibald - Artemous, etc. Shaw...then proceed to B... researching... Barry - Bertran, etc.? Would this work? Susan

-GEORGE CLAYTON SHAW (1863-1936) George Clayton Shaw was born in Louisburg, North Carolina of slave parents who had been taught to read and write by their slaveholders. After the war there were several missionaries from the Board of Missions for Freedmen of the Presbyterian Church who, working in the area, inspired him in the fields of religion and education. These early educational experiences with them prepared him sufficiently to enter Lincoln University, Chester County, Pennsylvania and subsequently receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1886. He spent one year in Princeton Theological Seminary, New Jersey, and completed a three year theological course in 1890 from Auburn Theological Seminary, in Auburn, New York. One week after completing his studies he married a Mary E. Lewis of Penn Valley, Pennsylvania, who was to play an important role in his vision of religion and education of Negroes in the South. During the summer months of his studies at Auburn he would return to the South to preach. He was inspired by Dr. Timothy Darling (one of his instructors) and Mrs. Mary Potter (special secretary of the Presbyterial Freedmen's Board) to return to North Carolina and establish first the church (Timothy Darling Presbyterian Church) in 1888, and a next parochial school (Mary Potter Academy) in 1889. It was primarily through the efforts and money of the Presbyterian Board of Missions and the financial aid of Mrs. Mary Potter that the effort succeeded. The location chosen was Oxford, North Carolina, approximately thirty-six miles from his birthplace of Louisburg. In the beginning the students were taught in the church which had been converted from a dilapidated abandoned school building. The building was soon overcrowded with pupils in ages ranging from five to forty-five years - all anxious to learn how to read and write. In the fall of 1892, the Board of Missions paid Mrs. Shaw fifteen dollars a month for three months while her husband earned twenty-five dollars per month for his work in church and school. A small boarding department was also began that year because the poor roads of the time made travel difficult and hazardous in bad weather. The Shaws shared their private dining room with five girls and three boys. The total number of day and boarding pupils at the end of that year was 132. A three story structure was added to the church for classroom and an assembly hall. The average number of pupils enrolled for the next years to the turn of the century was 230. The entire instruction was primarily religious. There were no uniform text books, no crayons, no chalkboards. The majority of books used were those sent by Northern friends. The first graduation exercises were held in May, 1898 when three young people received preparatory diplomas, although several students prior to that year received such thorough college preparatory training under Dr. Shaw that they were able to enter Lincoln University. The Phillips brothers of Lenoir, North Carolina, Toilman Branch of Fayetteville, and Richard Christmas, all entered Lincoln University in the pre-graduate group. The new century in North Carolina was a time of increased educational emphasis. Governor Aycock made this statement to the New York press which asked about the education of the Negro - " We are willing to receive aid for his education, but without aid we shall in the long run teach him. He is with us to stay. His destiny and ours are so interwoven that we cannot lift ourselves up without at the same time lifting him..." This climate saw the expansion of Mary Potter with property valued at $3,000 in 1901 and $7,000 in 1904. Additional buildings of dormitories, dining rooms and gymnasiums for basketball went up. Although a farm owned by the school supplied much of the food it was not long before it was no longer profitable. Each student had to do some type of work to assist in his board and keep. Cottages were purchased for the female teachers who were expected to live on campus even if their original homes were local. By 1910 the school plant was valued at $17,000, and by 1915 - $52,000. The year 1920 found fourteen teachers and 435 pupils with the school divided into departments: primary, intermediate, grammar and normal. In 1924 the well trained faculty were from Lincoln, Howard, Atlanta, Syracuse, and Shaw Universities, Trenton Normal, New Jersey and Oswego Normal with workers for Scotia Seminary. Ten years later the teachers represented graduates of Lincoln, Johnson C. Smith, Virginia Union, Hampton, Winston-Salem Teacher's College, Atlanta Universities, and the University of Pennsylvania. The emphasis was on normal or preparatory courses with Latin and Greek. There was a one year Teacher-Training course under the supervision of the State Department of Education and the graduates received elementary "A" or "B" grade certificates according to the credits they had earned. This was discontinued in 1929 when these courses began to be handled primarily by the colleges and state schools. The courses of study underwent various changes with the changing times. In 1910 the senior class was taught Bible, Plane Geometry, English literature, Compositions and Essays, Latin, Greek, and the theory and practice of teaching. Added later were industrial studies for boys in the shops and domestic science for the girls. The primary grades where gradually discontinued to be taken up by the public school, and in 1933 Mary Potter became completely a high school. The boarding department had enlarged considerably when parents who had recently fled the South for better jobs began to send their children back for the Christian education unavailable to them elsewhere. During the depression era of 1929 to about 1935, the enrollment of boarding students dropped. >From early in the 20th century the school had a dual financial set-up with funds from local contributions added to the chief funds from the Presbyterian Church, tuition fees from day students, collection of board and room from teachers and the funds from boarding students. In 1933, Mary Potter was combined with Redstone Academy of Lumberton, and Albion Academy at Franklinton. Dr. Shaw, now 70 years old, retired and the merged school was handled by Rev. Hermon S.Davis, a former Mary Potter teacher who was at the time pastor of a church in Fayetteville, NC. State accredited in 1922, and accredited by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges in 1934, Mary Potter was until 1936 the only high school for African Americans in Granville County. In September of that year, a new county high school was opened at Creedmoor, fifteen miles SW from Oxford with G. Cleveland Hawley, principal. In 1941 another high school was built in the county about fifteen miles north of Oxford in the Berea section, with William C. Baptiste, principal. Mary Potter had 622 pupils in 1940 and 497 in 1941. After the public schools were racially merged in the 1960s, all three high schools eventually became elementary schools with the faculty, for the most part, scattered. Throughout its history of segregated education approximately 50% of the total graduates of Mary Potter Academy have been natives of Granville County. Its graduates have certainly lived the vision of Dr. Shaw by making considerable contributions to the state and the nation. Among its distinguished graduates are leaders in the upper echelons of Education, powerful players in state and national government, and outstanding leaders in the civil rights movement from its beginnings to the present day.
