According to the 1850 census Martha Metzler (Shaw) was born in Ohio (family records said Pennsylvania). She was married to Levi Shaw (according to family records was born in New Jersey in 1802). Their first two children, Almond and Samantha, were born in Ohio about 1830 and 1832. The 1860 census has different information, but Almond continued to state he was born in Ohio in later years. What Shaws are you related to? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
