Dale and Lillian: Both of you are looking in the same area (PA) where Samuel Shaw settled. What little I know is the following: Samuel Shaw brought a certificate from the Society of Friends in Lisburn, Ireland in 1729 (Immigration of the Irish Quakers by Albert Cook Myers). Per "Early Families of Upper Bucks County" he was born in County Antrim, Ireland in 1709-10. He married Mary Nixon in 1737.........they lived in Berks co before moving to Richland (Bucks co.). Children were Hannah (m. Hicks), Mary (m. Miller), John (m. Phoebe), Moses (m. Carr), Joseph (m. Griffith), Samuel (m. Rea), and William (m. Carr). My line then continues with Joseph and Rachel Griffith Shaw. Their children were: George, b 1768, Samuel, Ann, David (Lillian: I wish this might be your Ann, but I think she would have been born too early). There are several Ann, Mary ANN, Anna Shaws listed, but none with a birthdate close to 1805. The hint about Samuel's parent being name John and Elizabeth comes from notes his ggrandson made while preparing to write a family history (the history to my knowledge never got finished).........from this tidbit, I am looking for them in Irish Quaker records.......... Dale, I think we tried to match these families once before............if I find a shred of evidence of a connection, I'll let you know. I suspician the English link because the Society of Friends "religion" came to Ireland in the mid 1600s and the Lisburn (part in Antrim, part in Down) area was heavy with English settlers.

Carol, Are the notes of the ggrandson posted anywhere? Did Samuel move?
