Narrative

Note: Researching Joel Shaw

There is an unnamed Shaw infant in the household of James and Elizabeth reported in the 1850 US Census, age "0," which I suspect was the newly-born Joel. Sisters Minerva and Hanna are named specifically in the record, and all the other children were born after 1850.

While I haven't found confirmation that the record applies to Joel, son of James and Elizabeth, there is a marriage record in Randolph Cty, Indiana for Joel Shaw and Elizabeth Harshman on 25 Jan 1873. Additionally, there are census records for 1920 through 1940 showing a Joel and Elizabeth Shaw living in Red Key, Jay Cty, Indiana, but with no one else in their household by that timeframe. The ages line up with the two in question.

The same couple is listed as the parents of the groom on two separate marriage records for Ward Shaw (in 1906 to Georgia Belle Harrison, and in 1920 to Myrtle Belle Tait) and the parents of the bride on a marriage record for Nellie Glea Shaw (in 1915 to Dawson Abshire).

Additionally, there are 1880 and 1900 US Census records for Joel and Elizabeth in Ward Twp in which his parents birthplaces are given as Ohio (father) and England (mother), with several children in the household.

An online collection of obituaries (http://randolph.dcoweb.org/UCobits/1939c.html) includes one for William Shaw, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Shaw. William died 21 Jul 1939; another website (http://jayingenweb.com/JDeaths/DailDeathDiary.htm) gives a death date for a Joe Shaw of Jay Cty, Indiana as 22 May 1943, age 94. This would be about the right age for Joel, son of James and Elizabeth, though I'll need to find more information to confirm.
