Author: cascull59 Surnames: Shaw Stimpson/Stimson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.shaw/6717/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on William Shaw. He was born about 1775 possibly in New York. He married Tharsa Stimson/Stimpson on 28 Nov 1799 in Shirley, Mass. Tharsa was also born 1775 in Mass. Known children are: Louisa who married Nicholas Counts, Mariah who is possibly the wife of George Washington McPike, Adoniram married to Catherine Whetstine, and John S. married to Julina Birden. All the children were born in New York, Otsego Co. They lived in St. Genevieve Co. Missouri in the early 1820's and eventually moved to Lawrence and Sharp Co.'s AR. Tharsa died in Arkansas. I have been unable to find anything about William. He was not with John or Adoniram in Arkansas. Thank you for any help.
