Wish I could say "Hi, cousin" but ""my" Christopher Columbus Shaw was born in SC but his father was born in Inverness Scotland - one of the Shaws of Rothmurchis (if I spelled that right!!). There were two Christopher Columbus Shaws from Pennsylvania in the Rev. war - plus mine from SC. which does not make it easy to locate the correct military records. Good to hear from you anyway, Lee Bartos -----Original Message----- From: Velma Beale <velma.beale@axom.com> To: SHAW-L@rootsweb.com <SHAW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [SHAW] ha ha christopher colombus >Actually, I am descended from Christopher Columbus Guin (through the Shaw >line).
