Thank you.  I will check this out, but it sounds like he is in the same place I am.  These are really tough families.

A quick Google found this researcher looking for the same family:

*         howell
bob6626 at lcia.com
Looking for any link to Sanford or Stanford Howell br 1832 in Ill.
Married Adeline Northrup in Oregon in1862.
He may also have married Elizabeth Miller in Ark in 1855

And another link may be to the Northrup family that married into the Barklow's in Coos County. Contact would be Evelyn Northrup living in Myrtle Point now.

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.
