Lynn,
Charles W. Shaw, b. October 17, 1846 in Adair County, Little Barren River,
Kentucky, d. January 12, 1929 in Bloomington, Indiana was married March 29,
1866 in Brown County, Indiana to Mary J. Hatchett, b. 1846 d. 1871. They
had one child that I know of, William A. Shaw, b. February 28, 1870.
William was married to Nancy Jane Shaw on April 29, 1891. They had one
known child, Robert.
Charles W. Shaw then married 2) Anne Higbee, b. 1851 in Madison, Indiana d.
June 30, 1899 in Bloomington, Indiana. They were married in 1872.
They had the following children:
1. Ella
2. John
3. Lillian
4. Charles A. b. March 10, 1887
Charles W. Shaw was the son of George Shaw b. abt. 1828 in Kentucky
and Barbara A. Shaw b. abt. 1824. George Shaw was the son of Joseph Shaw
and Barbara, 'aka' Barbra or Barby was the daughter of Anguish Shaw and
Millie Free.
As for a third wife for Charles W. Shaw, I'm not sure. This is what I do
know: Charles is buried in Duncan Cemetery in Brown County, Indiana
alongside Mary. I have yet to find where Anne is buried. It is highly
likely that he married again after Anne's death. I can tell you that there
is a Belle Shaw buried in Knightridge Cemetery in Bloomington, Indiana and I
have yet to connect her to my Shaw line. There are several other Shaw's in
that cemetery and I've connected all but her. And, I can connect them all
in one way or another to Charles W. as well.
Also, Charles W. was a member of the Ind. Vol. Infantry, Co. A., 93rd
Regiment during the civil war.
Probably more than you ever wanted to know but if you have any questions,
I'd be happy to help you out.
