Caution: Parents & Wife Uncertain

George H. Hayward, “Shaws of New Brunswick and Maine : with roots in Massachusetts and England, 1518-2004 ; descendants of Christopher Shaw of Northowram, Yorkshire, England and his grandson, Abraham Shaw who settled in Dedham, Massachusetts, that migrated north into New Brunswick and Maine,” (Fredericton, New Brunswick: 2004), page 1:

Russell F. Shaw. M.D., of Los Alamos, New Mexico, in his article, “The English Ancestry of Abraham Shaw of Dedham, Massachusetts (1590 - 1638),“ which was published in “The Genealogist,” Vol. 10, No. 1, Spring of 1989, said Christopher Shawe was buried from Halifax Parish Church (Yorkshire, England) 1 Jul 1583. He may have been among the heirs of James Shawe of Myxenden (dead by 19 January 1528/29 when James and Thomas Shawe were called to administer his intestate estate) who were tenants of Skolecote Head in a rental of Hipperholme Graveship drawn up in 22 Henry VIII (1530/31). If he was one of those heirs he was very likely a minor, while he was already married and having children baptized by February 1544/45. The name of his wife is not yet discovered.

Biographical Summary

"Christopher Shawe probably spent his entire life in Northowram, a township of scattered hamlets several miles outside the market town of Halifax. He was described as a clothier by trade. On 31 [sic] September 1569, he gave his eldest son, Thomas, as a marriage settlement, his copyhold of Scolecote Brow land. It is probably for this reason that Thomas is not mentioned in his will, dated 19 Feb 1583 and proved in the Prerogative Court of York, England 6 May 1584. The following provisions are significant:

. . . unto Alice my doughter twentie shillings . . . unto Isabell my doughter other twentie shillings yf she do observe and kepe my mind declared to the rest of my children and friends concerning her marriage. And yf she do not then I will that she shall have none of the said xx s, but yt shal be divided amongst my executores hereafter to be named. . . . unto John Shawe my sone my bed where I lie with all things thereto belonging. And then the rest of all my goodes which I have that are not goven and unbequeathed I frelie give unto John Shawe, my said sone, and to Elisabethe Shawe and Margaret Shaw, my doughters, whom I do ordeyne and make true and lawful execotores . . . Witnesses: Edwoard Longbothome, John Sawnfurthe."
