William and Eliza Shaw were my great-great-great grandparents. My Grandfather Charlie Mitchell (born Simon Shaw) was the son of Willie Shaw, who was the son of George Edward Shaw and Mary Belapan.

William and Eliza Shaw are also our ancestors. Roland Hugh Shaw was their great grandson. Roland is our grandfather. We have written a book on the Shaw family and would love to hear from you.

Recheck the generations of Shaw mob as Mary B was a young woman in 1829 and GS was only a sml child … maybe another Shaw was the father of Will Shaw the 2nd born about 1831/2….
