Robert J. Shaw was born in Yorkshire, England on abt. 25 Feb. 1781. I am told he came to America between 1841-1844. I have a 1850 census record for him in Smithfield, Jefferson Co., Ohio, USA. His parents are: Robert T. Shaw & Mary Shepherd both born in England. Robert John Shaw married Sarah Jane Clark b: 1815 Morley, ?, England. They Married on 13 June 1836 in Yorkshire, England. Robert John Shaw died about 1853 in Smithfield, Jefferson Co., Ohio. I am wanting more information on his parents as well as why Robert came to American so late in his life from Rngland. I am trying to trace my Shaw ancestors back to England, any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
