Thanks,

Most of this looks good, except the first one with Mary as a wife and
none of the kids match up to what I am aware of.  I know that the Shaw's
moved to eastern Oregon at some point and then ended up in Washington.
In the 1880 census John and Nancy are found in Walla Walla along with a
Henry Shaw whose father was b: VA mother b: OH which matches John and
Nancy.  But I have also seen his name as Harvey instead of Henry so it
could be either one.  

As for Elizabeth and Frank, he was definitely her second husband and
Nehemiah was the first.  It looks like the last one has the most
information and is probably the most accurate.

Now I have more work to do.

Dale

Here is what a quick search of Ancestry showed. Got the siblings, and
got Marion and Adeline to 1860 Douglas County, but that's about it.

Also, here are some others researching this line.

(could this be mom and dad? And they got Nancy's name wrong?)

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.
