I have no information on the family of Arthur Shaw, only that he witnessed the marriage of his son Thomas Shaw to Sarah Rebecca Jane Holland December 17, 1881 in Mode,Shelby County Illinois. Then his son, Thomas Shaw and Sarah had one child, George W. Shaw, whom I believe was named after Sarah's father George W. Holland. George Shaw was my great grandfather. Thomas Shaw disappeared within a year or two of the marriage and then Sarah Rebecca Jane Holland Shaw married a Mr. McClanahan and had a bunch of kids with him. George W. Shaw and his wife, Niza Ginther settled in Linneus, Linn Co. Missouri and there is record of Grampa Albert Shaw and his wife Elisabeth Wolford in Linneus, Linn County, Missouri with grandson George W and his wife and children. I have not been able to go back further than Arthur Shaw. One record I have shows Albert Shaw married Mary Miller and one record I have shows he was married to Elisabeth Wolford. Of course he could have been married to both. He, along with the rest of the Shaws are in Missouri by the early 1900's. If you think this might be any relation to what you have I would be interested. Again, I don't have any background on Albert but if you think it might be the same as your Arthur? Thanks for your response.
