Maybe the date of birth that you have for Gabriel is wrong or maybe your Gabriel is not my Gabriel. I have Joseph Shaw as being born in PA or MD with his father John Shaw (1700) being born in Ireland but there is nothing that says Joseph Shaw was not born in Ireland and immigrated to the US. I am fairly certain that my ancestor John Baptist Sr was born in 1745 in Wake County NC.
