The Shaw I am looking for (Samuel) came to America in 1729 from Lisburn, Ireland.......his parents may have been John and Elizabeth Shaw. (from a family reference). Samuel was born in County Antrim. His parents may have been English. Thanks for any thoughts you might have. Carol in MO, USA +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In my family there are a slew of Quakers who settled in Bucks County PA. The patriarch was John Shaw ( wife Susanna) b. ca 1687 and was purported to have come to our shores via one of William Penn's ships. He is my brick wall. I have been trying for several years to determine from whence he emigrated -- supposedly England or Ireland. If Carol would like more info on this family I will be happy to cooperate. Dale Redd
