Hey! Frank! We've both been having the same troubles for the past few months, and I remember that we've communicated with one another a few times. I've narrowed down my "problems", but don't have answers, yet. If I could get hold of the Johnstown, Fulton County, New York, Census records for 1800 and 1810, I might find Warren Shaw's parents! There's a slim chance that Pension Records would turn up something, and finally, some land records could help (which I suppose we would have to go to New York for--dust off old books in vaults). Again, just finding Angeloah's siblings would give you a great clue--or finding his children. His first born child could have had his father's name, and could have carried a family bible to the next generation. There is somebody out there TODAY who is a descendent and who has records. Keep looking! Don't give up!
