Various persons named Shaw settled SHAW in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the very early years of its existence. All seem to have come from England, but most of them were not related to each other.
(I) Roger Shaw, the progenitor of many of the present day families, was born in England. He was of Cambridge, Massachusetts. in 1636, where he was made a freeman March 14, 1639. He re- turned about 1647 to ,Hampton, New Hampshire, where he bought the right of John Cross to cer- tain tracts of land, and also received some grants from the town. He soon became a large land- holder, and an influential man. He was a select- man in 1654; a constable also in the latter year; a commissioner for small cases in 1651 ; and he rep- resented the town in the general court (of Massa- chusetts) in 1651-52-53. He married ( first) Anne; and (second ) Susanna. the widow of William Til- ton, of Lynne. She died January 28. 1655. He died May 29, 1662. He is known to have had seven children, probably all by the first wife. The children were: A daughter (Margaret. probably), Joseph, Esther, Mary (died young), Mary, Ben- jamin and Ann.
(II) Benjamin, son of Roger and Anne Shaw, was born about 1641, and died December 31, 1717, aged seventy-six. He was a trader, and lived on the homestead occupied by his father. He mar- ried, May 25. 1663, Esther Richardson, who died May 16, 1736, aged ninety-one years. Their twelve children were: Mary, Esther. Sarah, Abigail, Ruth. Benjamin, Roger, Joseph, Edward (died young). Edward, Hannah and John. ( Mention of Edward and descendants forms part of this article.)
(III) Joseph, eighth child and third son of Ben- jamin and Esther (Richardson) Shaw, was born in Hampton, New Hampshire, November 1, 1681, and resided at Ilampton Falls. He married, De- cember 12. 1705, Hannah Johnson, born about 1684, daughter of James and Sarah (Daniels) Johnson, of Hampton. Their children were: Gideon. Jer- usha, Esther, Elihu, Moses, Caleb, Mary and Sarah.
(IV) Caleb, probably a son of Joseph and Hannah (Johnson) Shaw. was baptized July 14, 1717, and died in Kensington, December 25, 1701. aged seventy-four. He was a patriot soldier in the Revolutionary war. His name with others appears on a receipt dated Medford, October 4, 1775. for' "Four Dollars (each man) in full Satisfaction for the regimental Coats which were promised us by the Colony of New Hampshire." He was probably in Captain Richard Weare's company, as an order on him (then lieutenant ) dated Winter Hill, Jan- uary 30, 1776, signed "Caleb Shaw." may still be seen. His son "Caleb Shaw," Jr., of Kensington. aged 20, is named as a soldier, June 3. 1775. - 1 clock inscribed "Caleb Shaw, 1749," remains in the old home at Kensington. The clock was made by him. In his will, made in February, 1787, he mentions children : Caleb, Elijah, John, Nathan- iel (married Abigail -), Hannah and Sarah. The Hampton Falls Church records contain the fol- lowing : Caleb Shaw married, October 16, 1747, Elizabeth Kimball. of Exeter, children: Hannah, Josiah, Simcon and Hilyard.
(V) Elijah, son of Caleb and Elizabeth (Kim- ball) Shaw, was born in Kensington, in 1760, and died in May, 1830, aged seventy. He first resided on the place now called the "Tuck farm." from which he removed to his homestead on "Orchard Hill." He married (first) Deborah Nudd, Ken- sington; (second) Sarah Batchelder, of North Hampton. He had six children by his first wife. and two by the second: Mary, Joseph, Elijah. John Weare, Sally, Nancy, Nathaniel and Abigail Col- ton.
(VI) John Weare, fourth child and third son of Elijah and Deborah (Nudd) Shaw, was born in Kensington, June 3, 1788. and died April 23. 1852. aged sixty-four. He married (first) his cousin, Sarah Nudd. daughter of Weare Nudd of Kensington, (second) Ruth, daughter of Thomas Currier, of Newton, New Hampshire, (third) Sarah (Stilson) Goodwin (fourth) Elizabeth Stilson, sis- ter of his third wife. He had one child by the first, ten by the second, and four by his fourth wife. as follows: John Eherburne, Sally Nudd. Susan Cur- rier. Judith Ann, Elijah Morrill and Thomas Cur- rier (twins), Mary Abigail. Weare Nudd, George Washington, Nathaniel Jackson, Winborn Adams, Zachariah and Elizabeth (twins), a child (died young) and Edna Elizabeth.
(VII) Captain Elijah Morrill Shaw, fourth child and eldest son of John W. and Ruth (Currier) Shaw, was born July 16. 1826, in Kensington, New Hampshire. He began securing an education in the district schools of Exeter, New Hampshire, and the periods of attendance on instruction were inter- spersed with terms of labor in the cotton factory of that town. He had inherited from his ancestors a natural bent for mechanics, and readily acquired a knowledge of the machinery employed about him. The great success of his life was due to this tal- ent, coupled with a capacity for close application and a disposition for persistent endeavor. He has well been styled a fine type of the selfmade man. After spending a little more than a year at Phil- lins-Fxeter Academy, he entered the employ of the Exeter Manufacturing Company in 1848, and thus began a business career which covered a per- iod of more than forty years-and in which he attained a steadily increasing prominence among the cotton and woolen manufacturers of New Eng- land. When he first entered the mills of the Exeter Manufacturing Company, his stipend was fixed at cighty-five cents per day. This was gradually in- creased until it amounted to seven thousand five

hundred dollars per annum. During this time he never asked for an increase of salary; he was never discharged from any position; was never heard to complain of his work and never abandoned any employment except to enter upon a more advanced one. He was yet a young man when his practical knowledge of every step in the production of both cotton and woolen goods was thorough and .com- prehensive. Leaving Exeter, in 1853, he became overseer in the Victory mills in Saratoga. New York, and after four years in that position, became overseer in the Bates mill at Lewiston, Maine. When the Civil war broke out in 1861 he was among the first to enroll himself as a defender of his country's integrity, and he served successively in the First, Tenth and Twenty-ninth Maine Regi- ments. In the first regiment he was made second lieutenant of Company F., but soon left this posi- tion to accept a promotion. On October 3. 1861, he was commissioned as adjutant of the Tenth Regi- ment of Maine Volunteers. He became a captain in the same regiment, March 12. 1863. His mili- tary experience did not begin with the war, as he had previously held official stations in both Maine and New Hampshire militia. From 1863 to 1866 Captain Shaw was employed in the Everett mills at Lawrence, Massachusetts. During the succeeding three years he was agent of the Crocker woolen mill in Leominster, Massachusetts; he went from there to Lewiston, Maine, hecoming superintendent in the woolen department in the Bates mill : sub- sequently to this he constructed the Farwell mills in Lisbon, Maine, and was their agent until 1883. He was subsequently agent of the Great Falls, Ver- mont, mills, which had been on a commercial de- cline, and were placed by him on a paying basis. He was called to Nashua, New Hampshire, in 1886, to become agent of the Nashua Manufacturing Company's cotton mills. the leading manufacturing concern there, and he filled this position until 1891. when he resigned and retired from active business life. Soon after this he was appointed chairman of the board of commissioners of the state of New Hampshire to the Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1803 and the duties of this position were fullfilled by him in a manner both acceptable and creditable to the state. In the midst of his busi- ness activities he found time to devote to many lines of endeavor, and was much interested in schools and church work. He also became inter- ested in a business way as a director of the Nashua Trust Company. In 1804 he was chosen treasurer of the New Hampshire Baptist Association, and filled that office for five years. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Nashua. and was a liberal contributor to its various branches of work, including the building fund for the Crown Hill Mission Church, which was located upon land donated by him. He was also a warm supporter of every movement for the enforcement of the pro- hibition law. He was warmly interested in gencal- ogical research and aided in procuring the publica- tion of a history of his family. In 1899 Mr. Shaw was elected business manager of Colby Academy at New London, New Hampshire. During the re- mainder of his life he held this position, and made every effort for the success of the institution. The dearest wish of his heart was to see it free from indebtedness, and for this he prayed, planned and worked untiringly. He often said that he asked only to live to see this desired end brought about. On February 23, 1903. he attended the Evangelical educational conference held in Manchester, and made a most effective appeal before that body in
behalf of Colby Academy. This appeal was suc- cessful and Captain Shaw left the assembly with a very light heart. He proceeded at once to the old home in Kensington where he was born, and made a visit to his twin brother then living there. He had had his wish and God took him that night.
Captain Shaw was not in any sense a politician, but he entertained well settled principles on m tters of public policy as he did upon religion, and he was a faithful supporter of the Republican party. His chief official service was in the capacity of representative to the state legislature, which he held in 1881-82, in Lisbon. Maine. While in Lewis- ton he was a member of the common council and served as its president. He also filled other official stations in that state. He was at one time com- mander of the Maine department of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. and of the Loyal Legion; and was affiliated with the orders of Free Masons, Patrons of Husbandry, and the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows. He was married April 20. 1859, to Amantha C. Sanborn, of Brentwood, New Hampshire. She died before 1865, and in that year he married Mary H. Davison, of Prince Ed- wards Island. There were three children of the first marriage: Irving Chase, Annie Elizabeth and Susie Shaler. The son is a carpenter residing in Kensington. New Hampshire. The elder daughter is the wife of Winfield S. Libbey. of Lewiston, Maine. The younger died when two years oldl. The children of the second wife were: Elijah Ray, Susie McNeil and Helen Mande. The last two died in childhood. Elijah Ray is the subject of the succeeding sketch.
(VIII) Elijah Ray, only son of Captain Elijah M. and Mary Helen (Davidson) Shaw, was born May 1, 1872. in Lisbon, Maine. After passing the minor grades he attended the Nashua high school, Phillips Exeter Academy, the Berkley School ( Brs- ton). the New Hampshire State College, and spent two years at the Boston University Law School. Having decided upon a business career, in 1900 he engaged in business as a florist with Gaedeke & Company, of Nashua. He resides upon the paternal homestead in that city, and is well- known in business and fraternal circles. He is in- terested in the Granite State Knitting Company. of Nashua. He is a thirty-second degree Sir Knight Mason. He is also a member of Granite Lodge, No. 1. Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr. Shaw takes an active and intelligent interest in questions of public policy, and has been frequently selected by his fellow citizens to fill official sta- tions. He has served two years as a member of the common council of Nashua, and is now ( 1907) alderman of the second ward of the city. In 1906 he was commissioned by Governor McLane as major and brigade quartermaster of the Brigade staff, New Hampshire National Guard. He was married in Nashua, June 9, 1904, to Louie Ethel Tolles who was born in Nashua, December 29, 1875, a daughter of General Jason E. Tolles of that city ( see Tolles ).
(III) Edward, tenth child and fifth son of Ben- jamin and Esther (Richardson) Shaw, lived on the paternal homestead. The records of the family show that his house was struck by lightning. IIc married (first), June 27. 1716, Mary Johnson, horn November 4, 1688, daughter of James and Sarah (Daniels) Johnson, of Hampton.
