I have a Joseph Shaw who went to Missouri, and by family word of mouth, he was the principal of the or a Lexington, MO schools. He was born c 1820, and married Aramilla Wright. I don't know of any children. I also have a Samuel R Shaw, b 1840, son of Robert Shaw and Catherine Reeds, probably born in St. Charles, MO. I haven't spent much time researching them yet, since they're not my direct line. Evelyn Mason

Evelyn; I am very interested in your Shaw information. I have been searching for over 10 years for my lineage, i made it to my second great grandfather Samuel Shaw and his wife Cynthia ( has been found as Sedan Maecynthia and Cyntia at various times) Pierce.they were in Lexington, Lafayette Co.Mo for the 1880 census and I have them well documented after 1880. My Sam was born 1838-1843 either in Va. or Oh. They had the following children, Ida Mae, Mary Jane, Edward, Emma (Eve) William, Charles and Annie. Do you have any other spouses names or children?
