My grandfather was a Black Shaw born where James died, so I was curious. -----Original Message----- From: rarecoins1@webtv.net [mailto:rarecoins1@webtv.net] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 11:16 PM To: SHAW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [SHAW] James SHAW/Family in GA --WebTV-Mail-18720-789 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit I don't know if James SHAW was a slaveholder or not. Unfortunately, that is a legitimate question for which I have no ready answer. Hopefully, the better angels of his nature precluded the ownership of another human being. At least I, as his 5th-great-grandson, would hope that was not the case. Did your question about being a slave-holder indicate that you know our family history or is there some other agenda at play here? Or, do I smell "reparations"? No accusations; just curious...
