Biography

William Shaw Sr. had immigrated to Salem, Massachusetts, by 1657, when he was a servant of Thomas Palmer. William married Elizabeth Frayle on 23 November 1668 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. After Elizabeth's death, William Shaw married a woman named Mary, who is listed as his wife and his executrix on his last will and testament. William Shaw declared his last will and testament on 1 January 1722 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts, and his will was probated on 30 December 1726 in the court at Salem, Essex, Massachusetts.

His will mentions his wife Mary, his sons Daniel, Ebenezer, Benjamin, William (likely deceased at the time of the will as money was given to the children of WIlliam), and Israel; his daughters Margaret and Elizabeth (Elizabeth is mentioned by her married name of Stockwell); and his grandson Israel (son of Israel).

Although entries on Ancestry.com show William's birthdate as February 24, 1635, I could find no source to back that up.

And there is no record of him in Salem until 1657, so he was most likely born in England.
