They had three children: James J Shaw born 1837-1921, Elizabeth Shaw (Soley) and Martha Shaw. There is conflicting information about where he was born and his real name. I have death certificates for his children James J and Elizabeth Soley. On James J Shaw's death certificate it indicates his name was William Shaw born in PA, yet on his daughters death certificate his name is James Shaw born in Bristol PA. His wife Margaret Knowles is indicated on both death certificates. So I know it is him but questions remain.
