Husband of Frances LeGette.
"The first Shaw known in the county was William Shaw, born March, 1759, and died in February, 1863, at the age of 103 years and eleven months to a day, as his son, the late John D. Shaw, told the writer - a case of remarkable longevity.
The writer saw and talked with the old gentleman at Marion Court House, in 1859 or 1860, and he said he was 100 years old; could get about then with much agility - much more so than most men at the age of seventy years.
Mr. Shaw was born in March, 1759, and in the spring of 1859, when the author spent the night with him at the house of Mr. Godbold, was possessed of astonishing vigor of body and mind for one of his years. Neither his sight nor hearing was very seriously impaired. He sat up to a late hour, listening with unabated interest to a conversation about the early days of the Pee Dee, taking part himself, and was as cheerful as a man in his prime." - pages 518, 519, A History of Marion County, South Carolina
