Mary; there were several Shaw's living in Prince Georges, in fact, I have three documented parents to my Charles SHAW, who was born about 1749. Since I do not have access to the records, I may never know who his parents were. He married Keziah BEALL in about 1774-1775. They had six sons and perhaps one daughter born in Prince Georges and Montgomery Cos., MD. A Seventh son was born in Shenandoah Co., VA. Four of these sons went to Ohio and were in Licking Co., Ohio, in 1820. The names of the known children, year of birth, wife or wives and where they died are: [1] Alexander SHAW born 1776, MD, married Mary BARCLAY, died in Fulton Co., Illinois; 10 children. [2] Zachariah SHAW, b. 1777, Marium ...... died Licking Co., Ohio; 7 known children. [3] Osborn SHAW, b 1792, m. Catherine HILL, died Muskingum Co., Ohio; nine known children. [4] Charles Wesley SHAW, b. 1794, Shenandoah Co., VA. Married 3 times Anna COON, Anna WOOD and Elmyra HARBORT ; died 1872 Scotio Co., Ohio; 18 or 19 children.- The following names suggested, for the other sons; Ralph, James and Major SHAW. dates of their birth not known. I have seen a couple entries showing Major and James SHAW in Ohio, but I have not found them there. There are both James and Ralph SHAWs in my family; but not in this generation. I found a tomb stone in a Prince Georges MD, book listing a Zachariah son of James SHAW and Elizabeth BEALL SHAW. If yoy short ou the families of SHAW and BEALL, I would sure like to see it.
