Note | Being the only known living child of his father's first marriage, his father transferred (about 1807) his own original 100 acre immigrant land grant near the Shiloh community to David. David subsequently moved in about 1829 (about 3 years after his first wife's death in childbirth) to what became Shaw's Crossroads where he put together some 2000 acres of farm land that was distributed amongst his children at his death (David died 10 days after the death of his second wife). This left 6 orphaned children, ages 7-15! Mrs. Grace Brogdon Lemmon wrote a letter to me that it was Sarah Douglass Shaw's sister, Eliza, that "looked after" those children (she subsequently became the third wife of Gabriel Plowden). By two wives, David had 15 children, six of whom died between birth and age 4. An obituary notice in The Charleston Observer of 22 July 1843 indicated that David, in latter years, had become almost totally involved in his religion. Apparently due to his daughter, Elizabeth Shaw Rhodes, naming her son William David Rhodes, it got into family lore (and on-line genealogy sources) that David's full name was William David Shaw. I have a letter, 20 May 1847, from Elizabeth to her brother John G. Shaw stating that the boy's name was for their father, David, and their uncle, William. We named my son "David" in honor of this fine man, my great great great grandfather. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=91756907 |
