Mary was a Friend (Quaker)
Biography
Mary Shaw was born in 1759, the daughter of Jonathan Shaw and his wife Sarah.[1] She married Jacob Paxson in 1777[2] [3] Mary died in 1814 per FAG[4] The location for her death is given as Jenkintown. This is where the meeting house is located and where she was buried, but isn't necessarily the location of her death. Per the Quaker record which documented her date of death, it gives her residence as Abington. This is what I am placing as the death location.[5]
