      ; from Fox Cemetery Association (Posted 16 May 2010 by Fox Cemetery Association):
     "Source: Frank Shiels The earliest account of the Shaw Family he came across so far is in the year of 1790. Benjamin Shaw, father of James Shaw is listed on a record in Salisbury district, Guilford County, North Carolina Census and again on the 1800 Census for Guilford County, North Carolina. He is listed as having three free white males of 16 years and upward, including heads of family. He had as well 5 free white males under 16 years and 2 free white females, including heads of family. They had no slaves.
     Ten years later Benjamin Shaw appears on the 1800 Census for Guilford County, North Carolina. He had 2 males less than 10 years of age, 1 male between 10 and 16 years, 3 males between 16 and 26 and himself being above 45 years. There were 2 females under 10 years, 1 female between 10 and 16 and the mother who was between 26 and 45. Next to Benjamin Shaw in the Census is listed a John Shaw as living alone, between the ages of 26 and 45 and had one slave. Benjamin Shaw was a farmer and planter.
     In the Guilford County 1810 Census, Benjamin Shaw does not appear but now John Shaw seems to have taken in the family. Perhaps he was the oldest son. Hypothesizing, I would say that both Benjamin and wife moved in with John Shaw and his new wife. John still has the one slave. Next to John Shaw in this census is listed James Shaw as being between 16 and 26 years and his wife being the same age.
     Notes from Donya Lanham-Wright - We now have the will of Benjamin, and there is no son John listed on it. John Shaw of Guilford County is the son of Captain Patrick Shaw - an ancestor of the Morrows of Kaufman County, Texas. Patrick Shaw came over from Ireland in the 1780's, and it would just fit beautifully for Benjamin Shaw to be his son. But alas! No Benjamin in the will. And Benjamin is said to have been born in North Carolina in 1765. But John Shaw did witness a land deed for Benjamin 16 Aug 1788.
     I can't help but feel there is some connection between Capt. Patrick Shaw and Benjamin. They both have sons William and daughters Elizabeth "Betsy". (Ironically, the matron of the Morrow clan of Kaufman Co, Texas is Elizabeth "Betsy" Shaw, just as it is for the Fox clan of Kaufman County.) Patrick is not Benjamin's father, but could he be an uncle?
     On the 1762 and 1766 tax records for Rowan County (part of which became Guilford County in 1671) there is a Samuel Shaw. If Benjamin's son James S Shaw has the middle name Samuel, we might be on to something, but we don't yet know what the S stands for. Many sites try to make Samuel the brother of Captain Patrick Shaw, but this is unlikely if Samuel was here by 1762 and Patrick doesn't arrive until 1780.
     Our first record of Benjamin Shaw occurs when he is 21 in 1783: Silas Wooton proved a deed from William Stafford to Benjamin Shaw for 125 acres of Land.
     Other Shaws mentioned in "The History of Guilford County, North Carolina" include:
     "MINUTE PACKET OF THE COURT OF PLEAS AND (4L'ARTER SESSIONS. 1782-1788. - 1787 -Porter Shaw repaired the Court House for 400 pounds. "
     Salisbury Superior Court March Term 1784 - "Administration of the Estate of William Gilmore, Decd , is granted to William Shaw and Findley Stewart who ...."
     A 1784 jury in Guilford County included a Robert Shaw and a Findley Shaw.
     And of course Captain Patrick Shaw is listed in these same minutes of the Court of Pleas in the 1700's.
     In the early 1800's we begin to see new names, like James, Nathan and Matthew, but the above names are the names listed in the 1700's."⁹

; From "History Helps" by Jack L. Perdue "The Nicholites of Jamestown and Deep River: Benjamin Shaw family from Delaware was a part of the Guilford Nicholite community. Benjamin's wife Rhoda was d/o Noble Covey and his first wife.

Caroline County, Maryland - "Choptank Hundred in 1778 census were the following Covey's: Frances, John, Matthew, Noble and William. In 1790 census Francis was in Murderkill Hundred, Kent Co., Delaware, John in Caroline Co., Maryland, Noble in Rowan Co., North Carolina - see page 173. There were also Covey in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont of another line. Some of them migrated to North Caralina also. In laws of our Noble Covey: Sara Covey married Thomas Dukes, Jr., John Covey Maried Sara Andrew 1770 Dorchester Co., Maryland, Francis Covey married Rebecca Hutton d/o George and Mary.

Benjamin Shaw was one of the largest land owners in Guilford Co., North Carolina by 1815 - owned 1420 acres valued at $2840 in Deep River township.¹⁰

; per Norma Jean Carruthers Old (FGS #17 Benjamin SHAW/UNKNOWN 5 Aug 1993): "Tradition has it that Benjamin Shaw was a land owner in Guilford Co. NC. The NC Land Grants in TN, 1778-1791 is what is now Washington Co., TN created 1786, that #748 - Benjamin Shaw - 189 acres on the head of the Wolfe Branch. Also, #7507, pg. 128 - Benjamin Schaw, 16 Nov 1764 - 200 acres, Mechlenburgh on Shoal Branch of Muddy fork of Buffalow Creek, joining Moses Moore

The 1790 census of Guilford Co., NC Shows:
Benj Shaw 3 males 16 yrs and over, 5 under 16 yrs, 2 Fem Total 10 in household.
1800 census - Guildford Co., NC:
Shaw, Benjamin, NC153 03 over 16 yrs, 05 under 16 - 02 Fem
A state census of NC 1784-1787, shows a Benjamin. Shaw listed in Capt. Wright's Distr. Number of Inhabitants taken by William Cook Feby. 1786. One male 21-60 yrs old and one female all ages.

per Wayne & Annette (CompuServe 75521,3235) 14 Jul 1995: "There is a Benjamin Shaw in the Rev. War Pension files that may be your Benjamin. It reads as follows: Shaw, Benjamin, NC line, S3885, sol was b in Caswell Co. NC & he lived there at enl & after the Rev he moved to VA for 2 yrs then returned to NC then moved to Roberston Co. TN then moved to Wayne Co. TN where he appl 25 Spt 1832 aged 70 yrs."¹¹ GAV-5.

; There's really no proof Matthews' wife's last name. But looking at the following one would think that it would be.

Matthew signed as next of kin on a William Noble 's inventory in Dorchester Co., Md. in 1772. Possible, Mary's brothers???? Then there is Noble their son, could was probably their first born son.

Records show that some of Matthew's children were members of the "Nicholities".
This was a relegious group that broke away from the Quakers. Which leads me to believe that at one time the Coveys were Quakers. Which would explain several things. Anyway, Matthew's son, Noble was a known member, also it's believed that at lease two of Matthews' daughters married members of this group, all are believed to have gone into Rowan Co., NC, as well as another brother, William. It's not known if William was part of the movement or not. It is known that in later years the William was part of the Methodist church.

The following is a little back ground on the "NIcholities"::

Around 1779 there was a migration of people into the Deep River section of Rowan Co. These people belonged to a sect known as "Nicholities". They have been so overlooked that even their descendants do not know of them. Some of these families, included; Grays, Littleton, Coveys, Peggs, Chipmans, Wheelers and Horneys. This movemnent was founded by Joseph Nichols around 1760. Joseph was from Kent Co., De., had not been a religious person and spent his free time partying with his friends. During one of these escapades, one of his friends became ill and died. Supposely the experience shook him so that he began preaching to his friends of the light that he had come to believe shown in the understanding of man and to obedience to an "Inward Director." The area where all this took place was heavy populated by Quakes. The Nicholities were greatly influenced by and had many similarities to the Society of Friends. They did not believe in paid ministers, all marriages, births and death were to be recorded. Marriages were to be performed in the same manner as Quakers and marriage to a non-Nicholite would cause one to be disowned from meeting. Nicholities, like Quakers didn't believe in fighting and suffered many hardships during the American Revolution. They were often referred to as "Friend" or "New Quakers."

The biggest difference between the Nicholities and Quakers was, the Nicholities saw evil in too much education and seldom had their children taught beyond the ability to read and write. Most lacked the basic education.

They wore plain clothes, black and white. Traveled by foot and opposed slavery. After, Joseph's death, in Dec 1770. Shortly after the out-break of the American Revolution the group, mostly from the Delaware area migrated to NC, where they settled in the south western corner of Guilford Co.,NC. Paris Chipman and Joseph Standley were the leaders.

In 1774 nine Nicholities signed a petition to the NC General Assembly, for relief from taking oaths and bearing arms. The nine signer were: James Caldwell, Levin Charles, William Charles, Paris Chipman, John Horney, William Horney, Valentine Pegg, (who's sister married Noble Covey), Joseph Standley, and William Wheeler.

Noble Covey was one of the signers of the 1774 decision to organize the Nicholite Society. Noble's second marriage was to Mary Pegg Bicham, sister to Valentine and Martin Pegg. At the time Noble lived in Rowan Co., which is now known as Davidson. Also, Benjamin Shaw who married Rhoda Covey, daughter of Noble was also amember of this group.

The Edward Covey who married the Mary Bradley is still a puzzle. Here's what I've found on Mary's father, maybe it will help somewhere along the line in determining where the Edward comes in at.

He was the son of Strother Jefferson & Elizabeth Lee Massie McGinnis. He married Martha Jane Cahall on July 5, 1854 in Warren Co., MO. She died on March 18, 1867, in Warren Co., MO. The location of her burial site is not known. They were the parents of Amy Temple McGinnis Looker and John Henry McGinnis.

I obtained a court order and got his records from the hospital and found that he had cancer of the face and had only been at the hospital for a week before he died. According to his records, he was buried in the hospital cemetery, but I do not know the location of the grave in the cemetery.

He was in the State Hospital in Fulton, MO when he died. We believe that he is buried in the cemetery on the hospital diary farm. Prior to his going to the state hospital, I have been told that he lived with his son John Henry.

This sentence appears in the History of St. Charles, Montgomery, and Warren Counties of MO. "Thomas McGinnis who built and conducted the first hotel in Wright City." No other information and I don't know if this is the correct Thomas.

Information obtained from Gary Duke indicates that the Thomas who managed the hotel was Strother Jefferson's brother Thomas.
