Carol, I must be aseep at the computer, I missed out on where you obtained the infor. on this Shaw line. Hopefully a book. So here is a shot in the dark. Do you have any information on a Samuel Shaw born later than the ones you posted? I am looking for my great grandfather, Samuel (Middle name believed to be Edward) Shaw, born 1843 either in Oh. or Va. He was married to Cynthia Pierce and they were living in Lafayette Co. Mo. 1880.
