[or-roots] ancestors

I don't know why I didn't think of this before.  I guess I only thought
about the Shaw's being in Oregon and didn't realize that they ended up
dying in Washington.  

I just went to the Washington Archives site and plugged in John and
Harvey Shaw's names and came up with quite a lot, including a
will/probate record for John Shaw.   Also, they have the 1885 census and
he was in it.  Evidently, Nancy had died because it said he was single
and age 90.

I am going to send for the will right away so then I can be sure of his
offspring, I hope.

If you don't know it and have other people you want to look up in
Washington here is the link.

Happy Hunting,

My family line is the John and Nancy Shaw......they had a son Harvey who
also moved with them to the Walla Walla area.......According to the
family history

<<<Young Harvey Shaw did some gold mining in Southern Oregon and farmed.
Then in 1861 he went to Eastern Washington,  Walla Walla, area.  From
there he
and Frank Lowden ran a packed train from Old Wallula to thekootaney
area,
bring supplies to the mining camps in Idaho.  In 1864 William took his
family
and moved to Summerville area near La Grand, Oregon.  Mary Ann and
"Cooper"
John also set out eastward and settled with their family on Butter
Creek, near
Echo, Oragon, Umitilla area.   In 1869, Harvey bought acreage west of
Prescott, on the Touchet River,
which grew into a spread o 2200 acres.  Following Harvey, John and Nancy
left
Douglas County in 1870, and bought land seven miles from Dayton,
Washington.essage ----- >>

	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.

	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.

	Dale in California
