Hi To add to the info about immigrants to the Upland area, I know of an Alexander Shaw, b. @1780 in Antrim Ireland who was married in Pendleton in 1807, and seems to have owned land in the area not far from the Indian Territory before that. I also know of a William Shaw who was granted land on Wildcat Creek in Greenville Co. who arrived in the 1770's from Scotland or Ireland, don't recall which. There were other immigrants who were being granted land in the Tyger River area about the same time. As you can probably tell, I'm researching Shaws from NC and SC.
