Hi List, I am trying to find the parents of John Baptiste Shaw. John was born abt. 1755 in NC, I believe Wake County. He married Frances McELLORY (McKELORY), Dec. 3, 1771 in Wake County, NC: Bride: Frances McKelroy Groom: John Baptis Shaw Bond Date: 03 Dec 1771 County: Wake Record #: 03 471 Bondsman: John Humphrys; Avington McKelroy Witness: John Rice Bond #: 000157804 North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Frances was the daughter of Archibald McELLORY (McKELORY) and Catherine SIMPSON. Frances was also born in Wake County, NC, I believe. If anyone has been able to find the parents of John Baptiste, I would love to know their names and if they were also from Wake County, NC.
