Shaw Family Grave - 1699 and 1711

3D Model

‘The infrequent occurance of the surname Shaw or its variants Shoe and Shew in the earlyCastledermot records leads me to believe that they are all derived from the same person - viz. ThomasShaw Sr., who married about 1755. For certain, the Shaws of Castledermot town are definitely descended from Thomas Shaw Sr., who, along with his sons John and Thomas Jr. are mentioned indocuments relating to the 1798 rebellion as being members of the United Irishmen.’
