[or-roots] ancestors

[Harguess, Dale]

About a week or so ago, someone, I can't remember who, suggested that we
post the names of people we are researching in Oregon.  I have so many
that I decided to start with the hardest and only do about one a week.

Here goes:

I am trying to find out anything and everything I can about the family
of John William Shaw.  What I do know about him is that he was born in
Virginia on Jan. 9, 1797 and that he moved to Ohio sometime, probably
with his parents.  He married Harriet (Nancy) Harris in Ohio and then
they moved to Illinois.  I know of at least two children that they had
but I think there were probably more.  One was Elizabeth Shaw b: ca 1823
in Ohio and she married Nehemiah Northrup on Jan. 28, 1841 in Illinois.
Elizabeth had two children before her husband died.  They were Adeline
Northrup and Marion Northrup.

The Shaw's came to Douglas County, Oregon in the early 1850's.
Elizabeth married Francis Marion Vliet in Oregon and then she died
shortly afterwards.  

Adeline married Stanford Howell and had at least 12 children in Oregon.
My mysteries are:  what happened to Marion Northrup and who were
Stanford Howell's parents?  Also, of course any thing else about the
Shaw's that anyone would know.  John and Nancy died in 1888 in Walla
Walla at the ages of 91 and 87.

Thanks for anything I get.
