SHAW
My wife’s great grandfather is Willis SHAW who was born in WilliamsonCounty on April 7, 1816/18? He is descended from one of three SHAWbrothers who immigrated from County Caven, Ireland in the mid-1700s. His father may or not be Nathaniel SHAW, Alexander SHAW, TerranceSHAW, or Thomas Timothy SHAW listed in the 1820 Williamson Countycensus. Willis married Mary Jane Wilkins who was born in BedfordCounty April 8, 1826, daughter of Charles & Lucy Wilkins. Thewedding took place in Tallahatchie County, MS on April 28, 1847. They had eleven children including Wiley Jones SHAW, my wife’sgrandfather. We are looking for relatives who may have filled in thegap between Williamson County and County Caven. Looking forward tofinding an answer to this mystery.
