I have not come across any Shaws in my research, however there are many Shaws in Sumner County, TN which adjorns Robertson County where I live. I would suggest you try ancestry.com for researching your family.

Best regards,

John

Do you have any information on the Shaw surname. I read once that their was a slave mistriss of some sort from England with the last name Shaw and she sold them across the deep south to other people.

To this day my fathers side of the family is spread out across the deep south. All I know is that the last name is Old English and that’s it.

How can I find information on my ancestors with paying much money?

I would also like to trace my family on my mothers side. I have their name but I would like to know who they were and what did they do for a living and the like. I have a picture of my great grandmother on my mothers side wearing a pretty white dress standing by a chair but know one can tell me what she did for living or who was she in society.

I also would like to trace my grandfathers surname Wells on my mothers side. I have the names of his family, but again no one can tell me what his extended family did for living and if they are from Lexington Virgina also and what did they do for a living and who were they in society.

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,
Ms. Shaw
