Notes

"I left my father, Edward Shaw and mother, Fannie Shaw [who was a Hesser before marriage], at Monroe, La. Mother was borned and raised in Indiana, Father was borned and raised in Pa. They married in Indiana, moved to Ohio, then to Iowa, then to Ill., then to Mo., then Ark., then to Monroe, La. Then I left my parents in 1861 and came to Quachita River to Camden Ark. While in Camden, Father sent me a letter but it got misplaced. I came back to Monroe and my people were all gone and I came to Texas and have not heard from them since, it being 45 years. My oldest brother then living was Elijah Shaw. The next brother name was George and the youngest Thomas, the oldest sister name Mary, youngest Lucinda. My grandfather's name was Augustus Shaw, came from Ireland at 7 years old.
This is Dec. 6, 1906."

My mother also told me that she thought that Augustus Shaw was the founder of the Masonic Lodge in Troup and all of his sons, except Mack Rushin, were members. And she also said that Augustus bought a big plot at the cemetery at Troup and most of the family, except, again, Rushin, was buried there. [Beverly Rigsby]
