Would you by any chance be related to any Shaws in North Carolina?

Prior to 1790, I am not sure where my SHAW's lived. I haven't been able to track anyone to North Carolina (yet) but did track some to Missouri, then to Oregon and on to Washington State and California. Susan (Shaw) Gardner

i have a feeling we all have some shaw's in our line somewhere. my problem is that my shaw m. a baker. i have a james shaw who ws b. 10 march 1824 in edgar co., ill. his parents were joseph shaw and cynthia clemmons/clements. they came across somewhere aroun 1853/4 and settled near panther creek which is near forest grove, oregon. he had married on 5 june 11845 in shelby co., mo. to alcha katherine baker. dau. of nathan baker and jane clubb. they moved to freewater, oregon which is now milton-freewater they had two children named william thomas who married rebecca hoskins and cynthia jane who m. james nathaniel loudon and these are my gr. grandparents. upon cynthia's marriage to "that loudon bum", CYNTHIA'S father immediately disinherited her. the reason i mention this is that freewater, oregon was very close to the washington. after spending a few days in that area and finding cousins that i didn't know existed, i found that in many places the only thing that separates washington and oregon is a country road. i have found the graves of william thomas and his wife rebecca hoskins, cynthia jane and her husband, jas. n. loudon, and james shaw and his wife alcha katherine baker. alcha is a very uncommon name and i have seen it spelled alsha, aloha, and many more. the shaw's, james and alcha are buried at the old ford cemetery in milton-freewater. when i was there it was a disgrace. the grass and weeds were up about 4 ft. they have no stone but i have their deather certif. william thomas and his wife rebecca are buried in umapine, which is very near milton-freewater. cynthia jane is buried at the blooming cem. in cornelius, oregon and her husband james n. loudon is buried in the old scots cem. in north plains, oregon. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 10:36 AM Subject: Re: [SHAW] Elizabeth Shaw 1820 Mercer Co., KY > Would you by any chance be related to any Shaws in North Carolina? > > > ==== SHAW Mailing List ==== > To contact the SHAW List Administrator: > [email protected] > >
