On another list, a query was placed from Africa about where one might find English place names. There are three good ones that I know of: 1) Old English Maps, an on-line site for the searching of mainland England/Scotland. Alphabetised search is by shire, then by place name. Ordinance maps of the locale can be printed: http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ 2) On-Line search engine for England and Wales yielding County/Shire, place names (all alphabetised), and corresponding registration districts. If you are computer-savvy, you can make it a local application, and search the appropriate page with an editor instead of waiting for a time slice: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/civreg/places/ 3) Search engine + data base yielding Parish locations. The author also says it will print maps, but I haven't figured that part out yet. This is an application that is free and can be downloaded to your computer, so you do not have to go online. http://www.dmbennett.freeserve.co.uk/ParLoc.htm Good luck!

Donna: I have a Zacharia Shaw who served in the American Revolutionary War and lived in Wake Co., NC. He moved to Wake from Virginia at the age of two years. There is also a Simpson Shaw from NC. I don't know Simpson's connection with Zacharia except in his RW's pension application he indicated he had known Zacharia for over 40 years. This family (Zach and Simp later moved to Gibson Co., TN. Is there a connection?

researching the John and Sally Shepherd Shaw family who lived in Meigs County, Ohio. They had a son Levi Shaw who was born in 1818 in Meigs county. John and Sally lived in Iowa Territory in the late 1830s. Any information on this family will be apprecated. Roger rogershaw @yahoo.com

Posted on: Shaw Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Shaw/192 Surname: Shaw, Leicester ------------------------- Looking for info on the Samuel Shaw family of Bertie County, NC believed to have lived in the Merry Hill area. He was born in 1793 in NC and married Sarah Lednum. Known children were Francis A., Thomas and Johnathan taken from the 1850 census. Francis A. married James Leicester in 1858, she died in 1922. Samuel died after 1870.

Wish you would ask them if they have happened to run into my Samuel Shaw. Born 1838 to 1843 in Ohio. He would be hanging around with Cynthia Pierce his earthly wife. They were last seen living in Lexington, Lafayette Co. Mo. Both left this world in early 1900's.I sure would like to get some inside information on this couple.

Hi, Odell: My Solomon was from Ashe County, NC. Anyway, that's where I found him, and my Dad always told me that is where he was from. He moved to Texas later. He was married to Mariah Worley from Ashe County, and their children were: Julia A. Shaw,born 1858-59; my ggrandfather, Cornilious "Neal" Shaw born June 11, 1861, died December 5, 1911. Amanda Shaw, Samuel I. Shaw, Elizabeth Shaw, Doctor N. Shaw, Birtha Shaw, Mary Shaw, and Rosea E. Shaw. Cornilious married Phebe Ellen Steavens; Their children were: Alice M. Shaw, Lula Mae Shaw, My grandfather, Joseph Cyrus Shaw, Celia Shaw, and Elsie Shaw. Solomon's father's name was (I think) was Thomas Shaw. His mother I know for sure was Elizabeth Graybeal (other spellings have been seen). Solomon had siblings of John, Alfred, Doctor N., William (born 1921), Thomas, and Mary. That is just about all I know. I cannot find anything else about Thomas Shaw. I have lots of information about Elizabeth Graybeal except her marriage, other than she married a Shaw about 1819. If you have anything that might connect, I would surely appreciate it. I am beginning to think he landed here from another planet.

I'm trying to locate any information about Humphrey Shaw who married Julia Nagle. I believe they came down from Canada to New York, where they had my GGGrandmother, Lena (Helena?) about 1860. I can't find any info on Humphrey and Julia (except from Lena's dc), but Lena is found in Boston in the mid 1880's. Any information on these Shaws would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Pat

I am looking for information on Consider Shaw. He is found in the 1800, 1810, and 1820 census for Brutus Twp, Cayuga Co.,NY. Consider's wife was Peggy and he had a daughter, Lucretia. Did she have any siblings? It is possible that Consider ran a tavern in Brutus. Does any one have any connection or information on this family? Thankyou, Nancy in MI

Hello Fellow Shaws: I am searching for information on my father's family, and this is what I have so far: EDWARD SHAW, birth date unknown, served as a JP in Castlecaulfield, County Tyrone. Married CLEMENTINA WALSH in Calcutta, India in 1795. They had at least four sons, two of whom had a business in and lived in America. Their names are unknown to me. Their fourth son was GEORGE SHAW. CLEMENTINA died in Marimon in 1871. I do not have a date of death for EDWARD. GEORGE SHAW was born in Castlecaulfield, County Tyrone in 1817. He attended Trinity College and became an ordained Presbyterian minister in Belfast in 1848 and married MARY ANN MARRATT WEAVER of Chester, England that same year. His congregation was the Alfred Street Church in Belfast, where he served for over fifty years. They had a son, WLIFRED WEAVER SHAW, and probably other children whom I am not aware of. GEORGE died in 1899. WILFRED WEAVER SHAW was born in Belfast in 1859. He graduated Trinity College and became an ordained Presbyterian minister in 1883, and married ANNIE MONTGOMERY KIRK that same year. He eventually settled in Catonsville, Maryland. They had two sons, WILFRED SINCLAIR SHAW and GEORGE F. SHAW, both of whom were born in China while WILFRED and ANNIE were missionaries in Moukden. WILFRED SINCLAIR SHAW is my grandfather. I have been unable to find anyone before Edward Shaw, and a letter I have written by WILFRED WEAVER SHAW states that he and GEORGE BERNARD SHAW share a lineage in that their Great Great Great Grandfather's were the same man, RICHARD SHAW, the son of CAPT. WILLIAM SHAW who fought with King William in the Battle of the Boyne. If any of this strikes a bell, please contact me, I'd love to hear from you. Best Regards, Cathleen Malin Shaw Pompano Beach, FL

I've pestered the list periodically abt my SHAWs in Maine, mostly w/o any replies. Looks as if we have some new interest. After the AmRev, my line went from Abingdon, MA to Kennebec County area of Maine (it was still Massachusetts at that time). They settled in the areas of Sidney, Fayette, and Hallowell--all near Augusta. John & Martha Studley SHAW had 4 ch, all of whom were also in Maine: Eliab b 1752 m Mrs. Sarah Savage in 1779 John b 1754 m Rachel Kennedy in 1787 Mary/Polly b 1757 m Savage Bolton Elizabeth b 1759 m Isaac Cowan Eliab & Sarah had 9 children: John, Isabella (m Joel Savage in 1803), Comfort (m Enoch Rowell in 1804), Eliab (m Abigail Longfellow in 1814), Dorcas (m Samuel Marshall in 1810), Sarah, Thankful (m John Scribner in 1815), Huldah (m Samuel G. Taylor in 1814) & Martha. John & Rachel had 7 children: Betsey, Loize, Nancy (m Joseph Turner in 1722), Patty, Lydia (m David Knowles in 1812, 5 ch b between 1813-1832), James (m Charity ? in 1813, 5 ch b between 1820-1832) & Rachel (m Caleb Chaplin Knowles in 1820, 9 ch b between 1821-1843). This is my line and I am always happy to share information. Mary & Savage had at least one child: Walter Studley Bolton Elizabeth & Isaac had several children, but I have to track down the information on them which I recd from a Cowan researcher. Haven't yet had time to enter the data. Some time ago I posted info on a number of John SHAW wills which were available from Kennebec County. I assume that info is available in the SHAW archives, but I'll cut & paste again: John Shaw of Sidney, ME: d 1807, h/o Rachel--this is my Shaw line John Shaw of New Sharon, ME, d abt Aug 1832, Lucy Shaw Exec (who resigned in favor of John Russ) John Shaw of Augusta, ME, d abt July 1887, Louisa Shaw widow John H. Shaw of Augusta, ME, d 18 Jan 1894; Mary Shaw, widow, one son listed: Fred Shaw of Amesbury, MA. Regards, Ellen

My Maine SHAW is Otis SHAW, born about 1785. He married Lydia CARVER in 1807 in Vinalhaven, Hancock County (now Knox County).

I have absolutely NO information concerning where Otis SHAW was born, his parents or his siblings. If anyone comes across "my" Otis, please let me know!! Linda (Florida)

Wendy/Ray, Yes. Mine appear to be largely from the Bath area, though I do have a few from Maine but I don't know exactly where at the moment. My earliest appear to be James R. Shaw, born aft 1806 and died 1874. Any possibility of a connection?? Cheers, John A.
