Dear Eleanor, I'm sorry but none of those names are found in my 'SHAW' family. We go back to Prophetstown, Illinois area. However, my grandparents, Charles Sidney SHAW & Jessie Luella (BIRD) Shaw lived in Lake County, Illinois as I was also a teenager (1940's) living a block away from them at Gages Lake, Illinois. We did not know any of the SHAW family that you mentioned in your message. I had an Uncle Arthur Warren SHAW & another Uncle George Richard SHAW; they also lived with my Grandparents at Gages Lake, Lake County, Illinois. Perhaps one day we will find a connection. My Grandfather's Father was (Captain) George Ramsay SHAW; his Father was Elisha Gee SHAW from Rome, New York area. Any connection? Good Luck Hunting! There are so many 'John' Shaw's, aren't there?

Betty, I just have to ask about your family. I missed earlier messages. I've been looking for John and Persis Shaw whose son was born in Johnstown, New York in 1808. His name was Warren Shaw. He married Semantha Millington. I don't know any of his brothers or sons, except for one: a son, Rufus Millington Shaw who married Maria Smith. One of their sons was Johnny Shaw, my great grandfather. Warren Shaw was buried in Iowa. I don't know why. Rufus Shaw was buried in Trumbull County, Ohio, as was Johnny Shaw, and his daughter, Almira Marie Shaw (Falkner) (my grandmother. If any of these names sound familiar, please write and I can give you more dates. Carole Albert Benishek wrote: > Dear Eleanor, > I'm sorry but none of those names are found in my 'SHAW' family.
