Shaw, John Plymouth Colony, p.350 —Arriving at Plymouth between 1623, when he was not named in the division of land, and 1626, when he was a Purchaser, John Shaw became the leader of one of the companies in the 1627 cattle division, and he was on the 1633 freeman list. It is likely that he had one or more children born in England, though any family would have arrived after the 1627 list, for he was alone at that time. He was later known to have a wife Alice, surname unknown, and it is not known if she came from England, or if he might have had an earlier wife in England. Shaw engaged in a number of land transactions, was a leader of the group that cut the passage between Green's Harbor and the bay in 1633 (PCR 1:13-14), and was a highway surveyor for Plymouth in 1643 and 1644 (PCR 2:53, 72). In 1653 John and Alice Shaw agreed to raise Benjamin Savory, son of Thomas and Annis Savory, and if they died before Benjamin reached twenty-one, Jonathan Shaw, John's son, was to do it, and was also to teach Benjamin reading and writing (MD 5:90). On 26 March 1658 John Shaw of Plymouth, planter, gave his son, Sgt. James Shaw, one-half of his land at Cushena, but another son, John Shaw, would get half of the land given James if he came before 1 March 1661/62 (MD 10:34). On 30 January 1663/64 John Shaw, Sr. gave his son-in-law Stephen Bryant land at Namassakett and Rehoboth, and he gave one-half of his land at Cushena to his son James, and one-fourth of the same land each to his son Jonathan Shaw and his son-in-law Stephen Bryant; he gave his daughter Abigail Bryant his furniture after his death (MD 10:35). On 22 March 1663/64 George Watson and John Shaw, Sr. were granted a lot on Puncateesett Necke (Ply. Town Recs. 1:67). Benjamin Shurtleff wrote an undocumented history of his family, John Shaw of Plymouth, Massachusetts (Kenilworth, Ill.).
