I immediately checked out the 1899 history and found confirmation that Abigail Shaw who
married George Kessler (and moved to Jasper County) was indeed the sister of my
gr-grandmother Margaret Elizabeth Shaw. An earlier history showed her to be the daughter
of the "wrong" James Shaw. I think there were 20 James Shaws in Tippecanoe
County, and one in Jasper County. Mine died in 1853 at Harrisonville, now Battle Ground.

This is FABULOUS information! Thank you so much for
positing this. The Heritage Quest thing is really
important also. I don't know about the Tippecanoe
Public Library but the Crawfordsville Library has a
link on their website that you can go to and enter
your library card bar code and access Heritage Quest
from any computer. I know anyone who has a Tippecanoe
Library card can get a Crawfordsville one for free.
