Susan, I think this is a great idea ‹ so I am getting an early start: I have several Shaws whose given name starts with ³A²: 1. Abbie born about 1894 in Oklahoma; father was Nathan Freeman Shaw born about 1851 in Iowa. 2. Abby born about 1866 in Iowa; father was William G. Shaw (born 1836) and mother was Lydia Jane Wilson. 3. Althea (born and died in 1879) sister to Abby (#2). 4. Amanda born 1840 died 1843 in Iowa; father was Freeman Shaw and mother was Abigail Keever. 5. Arthur born 1878 (half brother to #2 and #3) died 1946; father was William G. Shaw and mother was Lydia M. Adams. I have 1 Shaw whose given name starts with ³B²: 1. Brandon Shaw ‹ father¹s name unknown, mother¹s name Linda Dodds (born ca 1940). Brandon had at least one brother named Michael. Linda¹s father¹s name was Edward Brandon Dodds. Thanks, Fran

Who was Benjamin SHAW recorded in Salisbury District, Guilford County, North Carolina census in 1790 and 1800? My James SHAW b 27 Oct 1786 in Guilford County, d 7 Dec 1866 in Kaufman County, Texas was said to be the son of Benjamin; is this the one? Karen Willis of New Mexico told me: Benjamin Shaw, father of James Shaw is recorded in Salisbury District, Guilford Co., NC in 1790, 1800 census. He was a farmer and planter. In 1810, it appears John Shaw has taken in Benjamin's family--maybe John is the oldest son. James Shaw also appears here as between 16-26 years old. James was born 1786 in NC. He was a farmer and planter. He married Catherine Elliott, raised an orphan. Her DOB in VA Sep 8, 1793. She died July 17, 1875 and is buried in the Fox family cemetery in Kaufman Co. I'm still trying to confirm it.
