Responding to post about Yates County. Bennington, VT Museum sent me a clipping of the Boston Transcript dated 9/6/1822, page 69, where someone was searching for a Shaw in Yates County. It reads: "SHAW, MACE. Joseph Shaw's only known relative was a younger half brother, John, born about 1784, died 1819 in Yates County. He married, about 1803, Susan Mace, born 1785 in Dutchess County, NY. As her parents moved to Yates County, it is now known whether John and Susan met in Duchess County or in Yates. John's ancestry is greatly desired. The only possible clues seem to point to Dutchess County, so will anyone having information about any Dutchess County Shaws of that period, especially any having Josephs or Johns in the family, please give it to me? Besides Lockwood, Joseph had: Sarah, Hannah, Susan, Polly, Laura, Timothy, Streeter, Harriet, Matilda, Samantha, Elizabeth and Chancy. John had Nancy, Hiram, Caroline, Jane, William W., Uriah, Emeline and Flora. Uriah and Jane are Mace names." Thought this might be of interest. Jane Luise Shaw, 12th generation direct descendant of Roger Shaw (1594-1661). Researching (with dates of emigration to America): Behr (1866-Illinois), Buck (1635-Connecticut), Campbell (1784?-Illinois), Garnett (1610-Virginia), Graves (1609-Virginia), Hadaway (b. 1772 Massachusetts), Hunter (1784?-Illinois), Logan (1845-Illinois), Rice (1693-Virginia), Shaw, Seth (born 1760-Massachusetts) and Roger (1636-Massachusetts), Sherman (1637-Massachusetts), Tarbell (1654-Virginia), Taylor (1797-Virginia), Washburn (1760+/- Mass/Vermont) and Willis (1762?-Kentucky).
