     Bethuel Shaw Donna Syret's Shaw site says that the 1850 census shows Bethuel b 1842 to James Shaw Jr. Since Bethuel Shaw (Sr) died about then, perhaps he (Jr) was named in honor.

Her note:

"Bethuel's brother mentioned in his will [of Oct 1842] was James Shaw Jr. On the 1850 Census, a son of James Shaw Jr is shown as Bethuee, born in 1842, the same year as Bethuel's death."

I read this census as Bethuel b ca 1845 MO however. If the elder Bethuel died in 1844 as Maureen Webb says, then the namesake theory still holds. Bethuel was born at Missouri, USA, circa 1845.^2,3

     William was born at Missouri, USA, circa 1846.^1,2

     Margaret was born at Missouri, USA, circa 1848.^1,2

     Sarah J Shaw See father's text for census details. Since she is 17 when her father's wife is 27, he must have been married before. Or she is a relative and not a daughter. Sarah was born circa 1833.^2,1
