In placing " Shaw Rocords " before the public, we feel that some explanation is due to those of the name who trace their ancestry I)ack to different emiirrants from the old countries, but whose records are not found in this compila- tion. This work when conmienced in 1S!I2, was at first intended to cmlmicc all obtainable information of the Shaws of America, whose Unvs of ancestry could In- identified as com- ing from inuninrauts to our shores in the earliest Colonial times. But when it was ascertained that instead of the two or three which was generally Ixdieyed to be the entire num- ber who braved the perils of the sea and sought refufi-e in the new country at that early period, seven, i)erhaps eight, would ])<« a more correct estimate of those of the name who had well established themselves with their families in Ameri- can homes near the beginning of the ITtli century, and that, at the present time, the Shaws were more nmnerous than the Smiths or Joneses, then the full magnitude of the projected work became manifest, and redoubled efforts were l)ut forth to obtain the re(|uisite information for a reliable genealogy. This el,,se application to the \v(U'k so(,n obliged the com- :)iler to desist (on account of its disastrous effect on eve- t;ght and general health) and confine herself to the one; par- g Preface tieular line to which she belonged, that of Roger Shaw who settled in (^unbridge as early as 1()3(). And, though the residts have not (luite eciualed expectations, it should be taken into consideration that all genealogies must, to a cer- tain extent, be a work of co-operation, and that the lack of interest shown by many in works of this kind and the con- sequent failure of many families to resjjond to solicitations for information which can be obtained in no other way, consi)ire to render the work of the compiler incomplete and unsatisfactory. It is to be earnestly hoped that all such non-helpers will be sparing of their criticisms in this instance, until they shall have learned more of the difficult tasks and vexatious delays (reiiuiring time and an intinite amount of patience) which serve to retard the progress of the work, if they do not defeat the honest ])urposes of the geneah)gist. It should also be home in mind that town records to which recourse was made in many plaec-s, often proved incomplete and (juite as often incorrect ; while those of families showed discre})ances recjuiring nuich unnecessary labor and no small amount of ingenuity to rectify. In striking contrast to the class of delin»iuents just noted, we take i)leasure in pointing out brighter examples of loyalty to family and the memory of ancestors, whose names as benefactors of this work should be here recorded. Among these, the name of Thomas Shaw of Sebago Lake, ^Nhiine, who furnished records kept by his father, the late Daniel Shaw, (of the same i)lace) through many generations to which this son had bet'u constantly adding by his own per- sonal etlorts as well as leading pecuniary aid in several in- stances, stands lirst. Credit should also be given John W. ■ Shaw, broker, of Boston, who caused a search to be made for records at the City Halls of Boston and C^imbridge, at tlu! rooms of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society in the former city, and of the Probate Records of the counties of Suffolk and Middlesex in Massachusetts, a Preface q toiuaidod ,,. h,s nephew, Frank M.Shaw, „f Nevvnort Joseph Do„-, ,„ the eon.pilation <,f the History of Ha, , ' eea.c.

Bethel, Aug. 5, 1^*03. KEY. As the system of ivferoiice used in this work may differ somewhat from tliat found in some of tlie older genealogies, it may he advisahle to explain the method here adopted by Avhieh any head of a family may be traced from the o-enera- tion in which he was born to the next one followino' it. The names of the children beino- numbered in their natural order, (usino- Rouian letters) whenever one is carried for- ward to the next generation a smaller figure (numeral) is placed at the left, close to the munber of the child, to re-ap- pear in the same position with the Roman letters omitted, in the next generation. In order to trace a name backNvard,' it is only necessary to refer to the names printed in italics over each family in the larger print used— the small tiom-es at the upper right hand corners always denoting the genera- tion, and the names in their natural order, leading back to the immigrant. ^ For the sake of avoiding numberless repetitions, abbrevi- ^ ations are often used in ^tlace of the full word ; for example, '■ b, stands for born: m, for married: d, for died ; res, for resides or resided, etc; unm, for unmarried; and ch,' for children. Mimy other abbreviations such as are found in ^all other writings of a different class, are also used. ii SHAW. Various o}»inu)n,s have been iyiven by I'liiiiient authorities as to the origin and siiiiiificatiou of the name Shaw. As to the word itself, a})art from its a})plieation to a numerous and much scattered family of tlie lunnan race, Webster and other etymoh^gists define it thus: — "a tliiclvly wooded spot in a low place or hollow — a thicket, a low country with a thick, short irrowth of trees and shrubbery." Such a tract of land has been desiirnated by the inhabitants of Scotland, as "The Shaw." Hence, many interested in Scotch nomenclature have concluded that the name as ai)})lied to the race known as Shaws the world over, must have been derived from the fact that they were originally natives of the low countries of Scotland and England. But in contradiction to this theory we find a tradition which has existed among the Shaws of America, handed down from their respective ancestors who were inmiigrants to this country during the early Colonial })eriod of its ex- istence, that Scotland Avas the mother country from which this hardy race first si)rang, and from which many of her sons fled during the troublous times of Charles 1 of England, Scotland and Ireland when the arrogant, stiff-necked king undertook to substitute and establish the church of England (Episc()})alian) in Scotland where the Presbyterian order [»ad been so firmly rooted (and was, indeed, established by 1 4 Shaav law of the Scottish Parliament years before, and confirmed .by James V) and wlio (Charles) exacted many other con- cessions from both countries too unreasonable to be borne, which resulted in his overthrow and the usurpation of the government by Cronnvell. The tradition has also been religioush^ kept in each of the various ancestral lines of American Shaws, that these immi- grants were from the "Highlands of Scotlands" originally, although some were known to have been residents of Eng- land loniT ])revious to their eomino; to America. In a book entitled "Clans of the vScottish Highlands" by liobert Roland Maclan, })ublished in IS')?, we find a very interesting account of the way in which the name Shaw originated in Scotland. This author says : — "Antiquarians and genealogists assent to the tradition that the 'Shaws' are descended from MacDuff (the earl of Fife-, or 'thane', of Shakespearian fame) who aided Malcolm III, the rightful heir to the Scottish throne, in overthrowing Macbelh in 1056-7. Malcolm, in return for these services, granted in solemn cove- nant, the following unusual privileges to MacDuff and all his posterity: ist. On all occasions when the royal standard was unfurled, this family was privileged to lead the van in the Scottish Army. 2d. They had the right of placing the crown upon the heads of the future kings at their coronation. Isabel, daughter of Dun- can MacDuff, and last in the line of Fife (who married the earl of Buchan) crowned Robert the Bruce in 1306. 3d. If they or their kindred to the ninth degree committed a slaughter, they were promised a special claim of sanctuary and obtained remission of all crime by paying an atonement to the relatives who survived the slain. Malcolm also granted the province of Moray to the Seach or Shaw (eldest son of MacDuff) whose seat was established at Rothiemancus on the Spey in Inverness where the chiefs of this Clan resided for centuries. Their badge was the red whortle- berry. — Their motto. Fide et Fortitudinc (By Faithfulness and Bravery). The shield of MacDuff's Coat of Arms bore a red lion on a gold ground. The Armorial bearings of his son, 'The Shaw of Rothiemancus,' are thus described : — ist and 4th qrs. of shield, Shaw 15 or, a lion rampart, gules armed, languid, azure. 2d and 3d qrs. Argent, a fir tree growing from a mound in base, proper and on a canton in dexter chef of the field a dexter hand couped fesswise, holding a dagger, all proper. Crest: A dcmi lion, gules, holding in the dexter paw, a sword, proper. In 1595 or soon afterwards, this clan bereft of their chief who ^ forfeited his lances, were in part dispersed, though many joined the iMcPhersons and Mclntoshes thus forming a part of the great Cl:m Chattan while retaining their distinctive name." Still iUK.tluT writer who lias made the suhjoct a studv, aftor many ri'scaivhes condciisrs the information he has <»aiiic(l in tlic folloAvino- brief ('oiiiniiinicatioii : ,\/ "The Shaws of Scotland were a branch of the Clan Mcintosh, their progenitor being 'Shiah' surnamed DeShawe, one of the sons of MacUuff, third earl of Fife, Scotland. The surname anglicized, means a thicket, or grove. The baronetcy of Gra- noch came by ni.irriage with the family of Shawe, of Sanchie ; and continued in the family until the reign of James V. During the reign of Alexander III, John DeShawe was one of the wiT- nesses to a donation which John, the son of Reginald, made of lands to the monks of Paisley in 1284. In the year 1484, George Shaw was Lieutenant Colonel of a Regiment of Horse, command- ed by the earl of Dumferline at the battle of Worcester. For his valor and loyalty, his sovereign conferred on him the honor of knighthood. A little way south of the castle of Erskine, stands the house of Bargaran, the seat of John Shaw, whose ancestors have for more than three hundred years possessed these lands." Now as surnames were not in common use until the latter part of the tenth century, and the son of MacDuff received his as early as lo;)<;-7, luay we iu)t reasonably conclude that the name of Shaw oriojnated with him : and that the early Shaws of Eiiiiland were, in rciility, his (lescciulants who liad cmiuTatvd hitiier either before or after the partial (lis|.eisi(.n of Clan Shaw of Scotland? c „ -a c c (6 c It - £ It 1) c n c n X ni — 0) — . 3 V rt V. 11 X =" n: 1) ^ V- r". - (fl !> r: r- 1/3 X 1J V «^ x; ■- 71 ;-.

In the days gone by, I was thought supreme, By those who have long been dead ; Their hearts would throb when they heard my name, The name of the old homestead. My walls were built in the olden time. My rooms made long and wide ; And whether in youth or manhood's prime. My subjects were true and tried. How proud was I of that grand old stock — And they were as proud of me ; Their hearts and my doors scarce needed a knock, To open them wide and free. The voices of children resounded here, Their songs echoed far and wide ; And whether they wandered far or near, They loved me with honest pride. I have known them come long miles by land, Long miles from over the sea, To grasp my inmates by the hand, And look once more on me. I've marked how the eyes of departing ones. With rushing tears would fill ; Though dwelling in grander, newer homes. They loved the old home still. And when death called my chiefs away. Brave hearts were ever at hand, In tilial reverence to obey The Father's just command. For love would inspire and keep alway, Those hearts in an unbroken band. Years come and go with their changing round. Yet my frame remains the same ; And though marks of age on my walls are found, These old oak beams prove game. Then gather around my hearthstone ! My rooms with namesakes fill ! Leave wide these old doors open. That all who will may come in ! And may you long live, and I long stand. The same loved homestead, still. Kensington, N.

In 1676, five-sixths of the people of Boston were non-voters be- cause they were not churcli members, and were thus shut out from any i)articipation in the lo- cal government. It was customary however, for immigrants of the better class to attend the " (Ieneral Court" in person, for the purpose of obtaining '' grants" of land and iieriuissiun to settle in the town they had selected lor their future residence. 18 Shaw Records GENEKATIOX 1 .':onie previous knowledge of tlic business.

The settlement of Hampton, \. II., (formerly known as Winnaeunnet) was authorized by (icncral Court in lOHS, and incori)()rated in KIHl), Hogcr Shaw's name api)caring as one of the })etitioners. In 1(;4(), he l)ought* of "John Crosse" land in the new town, and Xovembei- If), 1()47 he o!)tained a grantf of lands from Chai'lcs II ((hen king of Great Britian) which, included with his former j)urchase, constituted a large estate. In 1(148, he moved to Hamj)ton, selling his real estate in Cambridge, Mass., consisting of a house and two hundred acres of land, and settled on his first purchase, some part of which is still owned by his de- scendants. The original house was enlarged and im})roved by his son Jienjamin and grandson Edward, and was used in colonial times as a garrison [see frontispiece]. It was taken down, however, sometime in the early tifties to make room for a "modern one." He seems to have been a man of prominence^ among the early settlers, for from ]\\')\ to 1 (;;');> he served as Kepre- sentativx' to General Court, and was selectman in liUi* and l(>r)4, and filled luany other inqjortant offices. It uiay be here mentioned that the controversy arising from the occu- painy of lands on the New Hampshire borders by authority of Massachusetts, was, in l(»r»l, carried into (leneral Court, and added nuich to the responsibilities of Representatives for that year, re(|uiring unusual wisdom and abilit> . He *This deed is in possession of Capt. E. M. Shaw, of Nashua, N. H. t'l'he original deed is now in possession of Hon. ( )liver W.

On the 2(;tli of Sei)tember, l(!^)^^, the town of Ham})ton appointed Koucr Shaw first, on a Committee of three, together with the Tctwu (lerh, "to examine all grants and appointments of Isinds, liighways and such like, and to reeorde the same in ye new Towne Book." On the nth of February, IGoH, the same conuuittee were appointed "to lay out and record coiiveiiieiit highways to men's land in the towne and to allow satisfaction to the })ro})rietors for the same according to their discretion :" which satisfaction was to be made from the town's land. lie was for a time Vintnor and Kee})er of the Ordinary in Hampton, and in 16f)0 was empowered and ordered by General Court "to sell wine or any st)rt of strong li(|uors to Christians and the Indians, as in his judgment shall seem meet and necessary, on just and urgent occasions, and not otherwise."

He was Chief Justice of the Superior Court of New Hamp- shire, from 1776 to 1782 when he retired voluntarily, but when the State Constitution was formed in 1784, he was elected the first President without a dissenting vote. Declining a re-election the next year, he retired to private life and died Jan. 14, 1786, more honored than any other man of the times. He was interred at the "Hill" Hampton Falls, where there was a handsome monument erected by the State to his mem- ory in 1853.

His home was located at VVellesley Hills, coming there when it was a part of Needham, and he was largely instru- mental in bringing it up to its present high status as a suburban resort for the families of men doing busi- ness in the city of Boston. He took a prominent part ' in the educational interests of this town — the fine clock in the tower of the High School building there having been presented by him ; and in grateful appre- ciation of this gift, the school is now known as the "Shaw School," and is perpetuated as such by a tab- let over the front entrance of the building upon which is inscribed this name. Mr. Shaw has also been a liberal contributor to the Unitarian church in Welles- ley Hills, and was practically interested in the building of the present beautiful church ediiice erected there a few years ago. He died at his home in that place, Jan. 10, 1896. Mr. Shaw was an efficient helper in the work of collecting material for " Shaw Records." He employed an agent to examine all the public rec- ords to be found in Boston and Cambridge, Mass., as : well as the Probate Records of the counties of Suffolk and Middlesex in the same State, forwarding the same all at his own expense, for publication in this work.

Mr. Shaw was a me- chanic, being carpenter, millwright and coojjcr, besides at- tending to a large farm and saw mill, the latter built by him- self, and the first ever operated in that town. It may be in- teresting to state here that Mr. Shaw li\c'd until his majori- ty with Moses Pearson, the first sheriff of Cumberland County, his father's death when he was a child, rendering this necessary. After his marriage, and as children were born to them, he, being of a religious turn of mind and a zealous churchman, was so desirous of bringing them up in a God-fearing manner, that, previous to his removal to Standish in 17(i2, he removed from Hamjjton to Sargent's Island, in order that they might grow up uncontaminated by the impure associations of the town.

He contributes liberally to the churches in Bethel and elsewhere, and is a generous benefactor of all enterprises tending towards the welfare and prosperity of every section of the town. His latest act of generosity, and one showing unusual loyalty to kindred and ancestry, was the bestowal of suffi- cient funds to ensure the publication of this work, assuming all business responsibility in the matter.

Mr. Shaw was wideU knowii for his lacilit\ in jhymini:, and olteii on public occasions 132 Shaav Records Generation v spoko impromptu in that style. CoimiRMicinti- jit a very varXy age, he wrote almost eon.stantly ill rliyme, makina- passiug- events which eame to his knowh'dge, as well as reliu'ious and temperance themes, the siilijects ot his effusions. While sick in the army hospital, he connncuccd to write (lut his experi- ence in the war which when finished after his return h(»me, contained over a hundred stanzas, and records many things worthy of preservation. Still he kept on writing until a short time before Ids death, when the accunudation was said to be so large as to fill a good sized trunk, lie often wrote out two or three long })oenis in an cNcning which he had composed during the day while about his work in the field or workshop. He also wroti' out as far as he was able, the genealogy of his family from the cmniigrant Roger Shaw down to the latest period of his lite, which was preserved in the family, ;uid the work continued by his son, Daniel. It is said that he possessed si keen sense of humor, and made many laughable s})eeches still rcmeml)ered by the aged peo- ple of his town. When ralliecl just before his last marriage on his partiality foi- partridge, he retorted, "You can catch your ])artridges and eat them if you likt', 1 tun going to get a ta/iir one and keep it." His dislike of some of the modern innovations on old customs in church, as well as in home life, often found expression in language more foi'cible than polite. He was a zealous attendant at church, but wiien the bass viol and \ iolin was introduced for the first time as aids in the nuisic, he deliberately arose after the reading of the hynui, and as he passed down the aisle on his way out, re- marked in an autlihlc xoice, "you will now pletise sing and fiddle the psalm," and went home to write a poem on the in- consistency of using for sacred i)urposes, what the (Uril had invented for his ethel. .\t length he went to Colo- rado where he hoped to regain his healtli, but died in May, 1892. He was much given to intellectual pursuits in early manhood, and gave promise of a brilliant future, but though cut off before he attained to the heights to which his ambition pointed, the fortitude and patience with which he bore sickness and disappointment are a living memorial of his worth in the hearts of those who knew him; (6) Rhinaldo P., b.

For him, to plan, was to accomplish : ac- 18(i Shaw Records Generation v cordingly the work was immediately commenced, and the church was completed and dedicated in Oc- tober of the same year, and pronounced a marvel of beauty with all the most modern appointments. Mr. Bean's death, which took place in September, 1899, was regretted by the whole community, and an irreparable loss to the business operations of the place in which he lived, his employees turning out in a body to follow his remains to their resting place in the village cemetery. Though a handsome monument marks the spot where he was laid to rest after a life of the most ceaseless activity, his bene- factions everywhere visible in this immediate vicui- ity will long bear witness to his public generosity, and perpetuate his memory in the hearts of the res- idents of West Bethel. His wife, Mrs. Lucinda Bean survives him and has a charming residence near West Bethel, (Birchmont), and has always contributed much to the general welfare and pros- perity of that community.

Sariifent Shaw, written bv Rev. I). M. (irahani for The Baptist (Quarterly of April 1- extracts are hereto appended : "The religious impressions of Sargent Shaw when but a mere lad were of a noticeable character although a natural modesty or reticence prevented his making any public profession until the year 1809. F'or the same reasons, and from the fact that the cares and expense of a family devolved upon him, (the Baptists of that time with whom he and his father had united, believing that like St. Paul, preachers should "work with their own hands and be chargeable to none,") he did not at first obey the call to preach, his conscientious scruples preventing a compliance with the entreaties of prominent ministers of that denomination until 1828, when he was ordained to the (Christian ministry. His struggles to support a family without the help of a salary and at the same time to fulfill all his obligations as pastor and preacher were vividly portrayed by himself during life, when at last he be- came convinced that in order to reap the best results from min- isterial labor the whole mind should be given to that subject, and Vv'hen health and strength giving way he was obliged to dis- continue preaching in a regular way although often called to offi- 1()4 Stiaav Rrookds (tENERATIOX VI ciate aL fiiiifi\ilb aiivl al times speak in [)ublic meetings against slavery and intemperance. During the long contest on the sub- ject of slavery both before and during the Civil war, he was among the first to plead the cause of the slave and was never intimidated by the ranting cry of his opposers who despised "po- litical preaching," but stood his ground in the front ranks of the "abolition party." When at length the anti-slavery amendment to the Constitution was proclaimed, he exultingly cried, "It is enough, mine eyes have seen the salvation of the Lord for this nation ? Now Lord, vv'hat wait I for .-*" His last address in a tem- perance meeting, (when age had begun to tell on his long en- feebled physical powers,) was given at a Convention in (ior- ham before the close of the war when many were afraid of advo- cating temperance measures lest those liitherto loyal to the Union should divide on that question, and the power of the admin- istration become weakened. On hearing these objections urged, the blood of the aged man was stirred and he could keep his seat no longer, but entered into the discussion with the hre of youth and carried conviction to the minds of his hearers When his speech was concluded, very few present had any resi^ect lor a patriotism that would not go hand in hand with the strictest temperance principles. Mr. Shaw was justly regarded as one of the wisest and safest counselors in cases of difficulty in ecclesias- tical affairs — his warm and loving heart inclining him to the side of charity toward an accused brother until evidence of his guilt was indisputable. Then his faithfulness in warning or re- buke knew no restraints from the fear or favor of others — friend and foe were alike treated with impartiality. l!y his consistent life, his unswerving fidelity to principle, his unshrinking moral courage as well as by his fair and cogent reasoning, he did much to render unpopular truth an efficient force in all the region where he was known. His natural endowments were quite be- yond the common lot ; but his sense of propriety was so acute, that his consciousness of possessing powers which he could not bring into exercise according to his ideal was ever present, and often rendered him timid and sh'-inking in the accomplishment of tasks for which he was fully competent. When told by his physician during his last illness that his case was not serious, and that he would be sick but a few days, he seemed disappoint- ed and replied as if in prayer, "Why this delay ? I am ready for the journey; nevertheless, 'not my will, but tiiine be done' ". He then gave charge that no enconuims be pronciunced at his funer- al — "say only I was a sinner saved by ;^race," were almost hij last words, and on a Sabbath morning he responded to the sum- mons, "Come up higher," leaving a wide vacancy in the home where he was loved and revered with a passion akin to idolatry.

The large accumu- lation of records in his possession were generously placed at the disposal of the author, and was the chief incentive in attempting a printed genealogy, as a unanimous feeling existed among this branch of the Shaws, that the results of so much labor were of suffi- cient value to render it important that they should be put into more permanent form which would at the same time render a circulation possible.

A son'', (Elijah ?) whose name has not been ascertain- ed, returned to Kensington and died in the home of his uncle Elijah of that town. As the name in this branch is now extinct, not much definite information can be obtained for this work. The mother was liv- ing with her son and daughter at Hallowell, in 1830; and it seems she must have been the widow of a man by the name of Sutherland either before or after her marriage with Mr. Shaw, as she was known to have had a son, Rev.

He was a soldier in the AVar of 1812, but when peaee was restored, settled on his father's farm at Orehard Hill, Kensington, a farm which had been eultixated and imj)ro\'e(l with the most caiX'- ful nit'et\' by its owner, and of which li<' was \'er\ justh^ })roiid. Mr. ShaAV !dwa\s took an aeti\'e interest in the af- fairs of his native town, and held many ofiices tln'rein.

As an example of some of the peculiarities of this denomination, it is said that at one GkNKKATION A'l SlI AW IvKCOI.'DS 211 tiiuc, on tlic (Iciitli of !i rcliilivc, lie was sent to a distaiil tow II for a iiiiiiistcr to attend flic funeral, hut while on tlie wii\', he had one of his "inii)ressions", niakini;' it his duty to <2'o to a eei'tain jjhu-e and hold a nieetinu', which was further eiu))hasi/e(l by the ])assao"e of Seri])ture — "Let llie dead l)ury tiiei]' dead," but u'o ihou ;uid j»reaeh the u'osjxd, reeuri'ini;' to his mind.

From Exeter he went to Newburyport, Mass., and from thence to Great Falls, N. II., as a loom-fixer. In IHoH, he was employed as overseer in The Victory Mills in Saratoga ToAvnship, N. Y., remaining four years, and then Avent to Lewiston, Me., where he was overseer in the Rates Mill. Obeying his country's call to arms, at the time of the Re- bellion, he entered the army in 1poinl('d Chairman of the Board of Comuiissioners from the State of New Hampshire to the Columliian Exi)osition to hv ludd in Chicago in ISHH, and i)erformed the manifold and ditlicult duties pertaining to that oHii-e with dist-retion and un(|Ui's- tioned ability, as well as to the State's credit. Capt. Shaw. whose home was now estalilished in Nashua, bi'came as pi'om- inent here in religious and I)usincss organizations as in his former places of residence. He was a l)ireco»r ot the Nashua Trust Co., and in l.SDl was chosen Ti-easurer of the New Hampshire Baptist Association and Idled the oliic(> for five \'ears. He was an aclixc member of the tirsl l>aptist church in Nashua, and contributed liberally to its support as well as to the building fund for the ( 'I'ow n Hill Mission church, aftei' donating the land u})on which it was erected. He was also an ardent supporter of prohibition and all law enforcement. Mr. Shaw has for a number of years been in- terested in genealogi<'al research, and has been engaged in collecting" records (»f tiie Kensington liranch ot Shaws. mcet- ini:' with wondei'ful success. It is llirough his generosity and bv means of his untiring and peisistent ellorts that this branch of the descendants of Koger Shaw are so \\v\\ repre- sented from the 4th geneiation to the present. In iS'.ISt, ]Mr. Shaw was (dected business manager of ('t)lby Academy of New London, N. II., which oHice he held uiitil his death. Ever after his installment in this oHice, it seemed his upper- most desire to si-e this institution freed fi'om debt, and en- abled t(t enter an eidaiged sjihere of uscluine.'s. Vny this, he pra\('d. w (ii'ked. and ])lanned luic. asingly .

" On Feb. 20, of the i)re>ent year ( liH);;), he attended the Evanii'eli- eal and Edueational Conferenee held in Manehester, X. II., where he made an effeetive aj)j)eal before the Conference in behalf of the Academy which met a ready i-csponse : and the first notes of a triiim])liant som;- of NJctory were heard with ra])ture. Ilastenini;' away while the echoes of his earn- est plea were still linuci-inu' in the ears of those in attend- ance, he rei);ii]'ed to the (»I<1 homestead in Kensini^-ton where he was boi-n, and where his twin brother, Thomas ('.

That niiiht, with the sweet assurance that his pi'ayers and hopes were becomimi- realized, he la\ down to slcfp in the old home of his chiklhood, to awake in "the house not made with hands, eternal and in the Heavens."

He has been a welcome contributor to many of the leading periodicals, and has issued three volumes of his [)oetical writings — "Poems", in 1885 ; "In Many Moods," in 1881) ; and "Legend of the Trailing Arbutus and Other Poems," in 181)8. The first of these volumes, which included many of his earliest efforts, won the connnendation of \\'hittier, to whom it gave the feeling of "broader horizons and mountain presence," and who found in this volume "a sweet and delicate confession of the authors love of natui'e which promises nuich." Mr. Shaw's })oems, which cannot be re- viewed at length here, are marked by directness and free- dom from affectation, have the beauty of simplicity, and appeal to persons who love nature and i)ure sentiment. Many of them are Ivrical and touch the heart, limicrini:- long in the memory : others are narrative and descriptive, charming with their verisimilitude. "The l^ear Hunt" and "Cam)) Ossipee" abound in line delineations of lake and mountain scener\', the former exhiliiting a tender regard for the preservation of animal life that has something ol the flavoi- of ^^'ordsworth and Kobei't P)urns about it. E\er a close student of nature, Mr. Shaw sink's of her beauties as 234 Shaav Records Generation ix one who love.s them and is touched by them, not its one who i>oes afield after literary material. The themes of his le.iicndary poems, (with one or two exceptions,) are myths of the Algonqnins, but a strong hunran interest is given them. In fact, Mr. Shaw's poetic talent has become so well known, that he is admired for the ([ualities of heart and brain which inspire his poems as mueh as for their litera- ry merits ; and he enjoys the friendship and approbation of many well-known literary people.

In spite of this tradition, however, after a long and fruith'ss search for ])artieulars regarding the fate of one John, the son of Benjamin Shaw, (the youngest son of Koger Shaw, immigrant from Kngland })rior to l()o(),) who was remembi'red in his father's will made in 1717, Init never afterward traced with any certain- ty by gcnealooists, it is helived that the latter ma\' \('t l)e identified as the John first mentioned above, ha\ ing nioNcd from Hampton, X'.

The date of this son's birth imist hax'c l)een between liiSO and 1 ()!M), consetiuenth' the comijiler has plac- ed the name of the subject of this record in the same gener- ation as that of the grandson of Rogei' which is the third from the innnigrant. The public records which at that time were but imperfectly kept, and during the \ icissitudo of wai'. lire and famine often wholly destroyed, fail to throw any light on the history of this son of Benjamin sul)se(|uent to the date of the will of the latter, w Inch led to the belief that this son may have gone liack to I'^nghuid, (^ihc nati\c place ol 27i] Shaw Rpxords Generation hi his grandfather,) after disposino- of the paternal estates fall- ing to him at the death of his father, and on returnino- to America conehided to seek new territory whereon to battle with the Indians and the wilderness.
