Denise, This is some of what Barbara has sent to me. She also has a family group sheet on William Shaw. I hope she doesn't mind her e-mail is heritage62@gmail.com My Shaw family came to Kentucky from Maryland abt 1816. I have no record that Joseph Shaw, b. 1786 came with them but he was an older brother of my ancestor Luke Lewis Shaw so he quite possibly came down the Ohio river with Luke and the group of people who also made the trip. If not, then he could have come earlier. Luke and wife Lucinda Elizabeth Tinney married in Adams Co, Ohio in 1817, possibly at the home of a relative. Luke and wife originally settled in Pendleton Co, Ky across the river from Adams, Clermont, and Brown Co, Ohio. Brown Co, Ohio was formed from Adams and Clermont Co in 1818. Luke and Joseph's younger brother brought their mother and four younger siblings to Kentucky between 1821-1822. The younger brother became a Methodist minister and had children born in Brown Co, Ohio. I haven't found three of Luke's older brothers in Kentucky and I believe they settled early in Ohio. They are: Samuel, b. aft 1786, Joseph, b. 1786, and William, b. 1793. Luke served in Capt. Samuel Raisin's company in the War of 1812. If his brothers also served, they may have received Virginia military warrants for land in Ohio. Denise Shaw <dmcshaw@hughes.net> wrote: Hi, Paul. No, I haven't yet talked to Barbara O'Nan.

After Joseph Berry Shaw's death, Elizabeth Kate Willett married Robert M. O'Keefe in 1899. After Elizabeth's death in 1916, Robert O'Keefe married Etta E. Armiger. We are at a brick wall trying to prove the parentage of William S. Shaw, as well as his first wife, Milley (MNU), and his second wife, Innocent B. (MNU). We have found no definitive proof as to William S. Shaw's father's name (perhaps William, John, James or Josiah Shaw), but his mother is shown as Pricilla (MNU) (possibly Price or Fearson?). We believe they were all born and raised in Charles County. All of our Shaw family seemed to have attended St. Paul's Piney Parish Episcopal Church, and many are buried there. In my research at the Southern Maryland Studies Center at CSM, I found several letters written to the Charles County Historical Society in 1975 and 1979 from a Carol Lee (Shaw?) Moore (Mrs. Robert L. Moore), who was a grandaughter to John Anderson Shaw, one of William S. Shaw's brothers, seeking information on William S. Shaw. She stated she had in her possession original letters written by one of William's brothers, Joseph Shaw in Indiana, to the William S. Shaw family members addressed to Beantown, Bryantown, & Charles County, MD, spanning 1837-1867. References in the letters concern "Henry Bean's family, who is running Aunt Actone's farm, where is Cousin Betsy Shaw living, how are the Beans and Owens, how is Beantown and the tobacco market?" I have been unsuccessful in tracking down Ms. Moore or her descendants in attempts to obtain copies of these letters. If you know how to reach Carol L. Shaw Moore or her family, please let me know. I am hoping there are other Charles County families out there sharing common ties with our Shaw line that may have information on our "missing links." Please check your family bibles, etc. and please contact me if you have find any information you can share. Thank you. Denise C.

William S. Shaw stayed behind in Charles County, Maryland, as evidenced by the letters Carol Lee Moore had in her possession written from Joseph in Indiana back to William here in Charles County. Apparently, William served in the War of 1812 also, but I don't yet know his company or other information. His 2nd wife, Innocent, applied for and received a pension for his service. Sure wish I could find Carol Lee Moore and those letters! Thanks for Barbara's e-mail. I will try to contact her to share info. -----Original Message----- From: shaw-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:shaw-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Paul Shaw Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 9:51 PM To: shaw@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SHAW] William S.
