The John Shaw Family- US 1626 to Current

Raymond Lineage

** Connected to the Bryan Family at Stephen Bryant ( ) **

** Connected to the George Vaughan Family at Jesse Vaughan (1735-1815) **

Generation One:
John Shaw b. abt 1597 at England; m. abt 1622 Alice Shaw Nee Unknown; d. aft 30 January 1663 at Middleboro, Plymouth, MA, aged 66 years.
Their Children:
1. John b. abt 1622 at England; thought to have returned to England after selling land to brother-in-law Stephen Bryant in 1651.
2. Abigail b. abt 1624 at England; m. abt 1646 Stephen Bryant; d. 24 October 1694 at Plymouth, Plymouth, MA, aged 70 years.
3. James b. abt 1626 at England, MA; m. 24 December 1652 Mary Mitchell at Plymouth, Plymouth, MA
4. Jonathan b. 1631 at Plymouth, Plymouth

      He must have come on one of the first ships for he first appeared in Plymouth, Plymouth, MA in the 1627 division of cattle. He was the leader of the sixth lot. He was also called one of the purchasers or old timers. The family came over later. He was a freeman in 1633 at Plymouth, Plymouth, MA. He was part of the group that cut a passage from Green's Harbor to Plymouth Bay before 1 July 1633. He was a highway surveyor for Plymouth, MA in 1643 and 1644. In 1645 John Shaw is one of eight men who went out against the Narragansetts.
 "John Winslow sold to John Shaw "all his arable land that is lying in that tract of land that is commonly called Knave's Acre otherwise named Woodbee"; part of the consideration was "all the meadow ground that butteth at the upper end of the said arable land" on 8-Jul-1630. In 1633 John Shaw amongst those admitted as a freeman before January 1, 1632/33 at Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. He is found on the tax list at Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, assessed 18s on 25-Mar-1633. He is found on the tax list at Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, assessed 9s on 27-Mar-1634. He was "allowed to enlarge at the end of his lot lying at Black Brooke" on 14-Jan-1636/37. He was one of three men "to have enlargement of lands abutting above their lots at Playne Dealing, to the nothward", and these are probably the same lots referred to on Apr. 2, 1638 and Feb. 4, 1638/39 on 2-Oct-1637."
      On 22nd July 1648 John Shaw was part of a trial for Alice Bishop, for the murder of her child. She was found guilty and was sentenced to death by hanging. She was most likely the first woman in the are who was convicted of murder and hung. The second colonist, for John Billington had been hung for murder several years before.


      "These sheweth, that on Jul the 22cond, 1648, wee, whosse names are vnderwritten, were sworne by Mr Bradford, gouerner, to make inquiry of the death of the child of Allis Bishop, the wife of Richard Bishope.
     Wee declare, yt coming into the house of the said Richard Bishope, wee saw at the foot of a ladder wh leadeth into an vpper chamer, much blood; and going vp all of vs into the chamber, wee found a woman child, of about foure yeares of age, lying in her shifte vppon her left cheeke, with her throat cut with diuers gashes crose wayes, the wind pipe cut and stuke into the throat downward, and a bloody knife lying by the side of the child, with wh knife all of vs judg, and the said Allis hath confessed to fiue of vs at one time, yt shee murdered the child with the said knife.

Morouer, shee saith the reason yt moued her to thinke shee had kiled her child was yt when shee saw the blood shee looked on the bedd, and the child was not there.

     Jonathan Shaw was the first permanent resident of the now town of Carver. His house at Lakenham, north side, was there as early as 1660. The exact location was on the site of the present Sturtevant house south of the Green. (The present house was built about 1750 and traditionally it is known as the third house built on that site. The Shaw's residence was known to stand midway between Plymouth and Middleboro. By 1700 the Shaws and the Watsons held possession in the west section of Carver. Before moving to now Carver, Plymouth, MA, John was one of many who received forty year grants of various dimensions along the South Meadow River, and he also received a land grant at Lakenham (as mentioned above).
    
     "Deacon Jonathan Shaw with John Waterman, were appointed the first Deacons of the Plympton Church and are ordained to that office on Sunday 27th November 1698. The First Church of Plympton (now Carver), Plymouth, Massachusetts, New England was located on the North side of the Lakenham Cemetery. The Plympton townspeople had a disagreement about the distance between the church and the location of their homes. The Plympton townspeople decided to let the First Lakenham Church go to "shambles" because it was to far south for them to walk and so a second Church was built at the location where the present day Lakenham Green is."

    John Jenney, his wife, Sarah, and three of their children came over in 1623 on the Little James. They landed in Plymouth, Plymouth, MA in August 1623. He was at Leyden, Holland with the Pilgrims at the time of his marriage in 1614, and was thought to be there as early as 1609 when "John Jennings witnessed the betrothel of Robert Peck to Jane Merritt, both from England." His own records state that "John Jenney , a brewer's drayman, from Norwich, in England, but more recently from Rotterdam, was betrothed to Sarah Carey from Moncksoon, on 5 September 1614, Roger Wilson and Jane Lee accompanying them.
 Although John Jenney lived in Leyden for many years, he did not become a citizen as did sixty-five of the Pilgrims had.  John was known to speak Dutch. On 16 June 1618, he buried at child at St. Peter's Church at Leyden, Holland. At the time he was living at Veldesstraat (Field Street).
      At Plymouth, John was one called "gentleman" and on 25 March 1633-34, he paid the third largest tax in the town of Plymouth, £1:16:00. rated in corn at 6 per bushel. He was listed as a freeman in the Incorporacon of Plymouth in 1633 and later as John Jenney, gen, in a list from 7 March 1636-37. He was listed along with Samuel and John, Jr. as males in August of 1643 who were able to bear arms.
     On 1 October 1643, he was one of five appointed for laying out of the highways. On 5 January 1635-36, he was on a committee of seven chosen "to assiste ye Governor & Counsell to sett shuch rates on goods to be sould, & labourers for their hire, as should be meete & juste," On 6 March of the same year , he and four others were a committee to select a suitable location for two meeting houses. In 1636, John was a Deacon of the Plymouth Church. " Mr. John Jenney  on 20 March 1636-37 was appoynted to view the hey grounde from the town of Plymouth to Iland Creeke". On 5 May 1620 he and four others were chosen to view the meadows of Edwatd Doty to compute the numbers of acres. In 1641-1642 he was listed among those persons authorized by the General Court to grand lands in Plymouth.
      He was chosen Governor's Assistant on 5 Janaury 1635 and was reelected to that office for seven years. He traveled back and forth to England many times, one being in 1638. He also served as Deputy to the General Court.
      In the first distribution of land to those who came over on the Anne and Little James in 1623, John was allotted five acres, out of forty-give, that 'lye beyond the brooke to Strawberie-hill, (kown as Mill Hill or Watson's Hill)." The natives called it Cantaugheantiest or Planted Fields. The land is situated on both sides of the Cold Spring Brook. In 1626-27, JOhnJenney with several others became Pruchasers of the English Merchant's interes in Plymouth Colony, this enabled John to get a share of the division of cattle on 22 May 1627.
"The twelueth lott fell to John Jene ^ his companie joyned him:
2. his wife Sarah Jene

--To this lott fell the greate white backt cow which was brought over with the first in the Ann, to which cow the keepeing of the bull was joined for these psents to puide for heere also two shee goats."
     In 1636, at the assignement of the "heyground" it was ordered that "John Jenney (and Edward Holman with him, for cow & a calfe) have the grounde from John Wynslow downeward to Mr. Allersons howse, or the creeke there." The next year the same plot was given to him "where he had the last yeare, and to edge more upon the sedgy place, that there may b ehey also gott there fo rthe teame of the towne." On 6 January 1636-37, it was agreed "that the six acres of the lands of John Jenney , and the two acres of Mrs. Fuller lying at Strawberry Hill, enclosed by Mr. Ralph Smyth, shalbe yeilded upp unto them this yeare, that they may ymprove them to the settling of corne; provided that the said John Jenney shall erext a swelling house neare or upon the said six acrees, with are to belong unto the said house as long as it shalbe a dwelling." He also received a grant on 16 September 1641 of "as much more upland as will make his farme at Lakenhame (now Carver) two hundred acres, and when that is used then to have more added to yet in lue of soem land he hath yeilded up at the towne to Gabriell Fallowell"
      The first mill on Town Brooke was built and run by Stephen Deane from 1632-1634. At the inventory of Deane's death the value of the mill was £20. Two years later John Jenney built a mill for grinding corn on the same site and was given the permit on 7 March 1676:

"It is conclued upon the Court That Mr. John Jenney shall have liberty to erect a Milne for grinding and beating of Corne upon the brook of Plymouth to be to him & his heires for ever. And shall have a pottle of Corne towle upon every bushell for grinding the same fo rthe space of the two first yeares next after the said Milne is erected, and afterwards but a quart at a bushell for all that is brought to the milne by others, but if he fetch it & grind it himself or by his servants then to have a pottle toule for every bushell as before."

      For John though the mill was not always a success:
" on 4 September 1638, Mr. John Jenney was psented at Court for diging downe the highway before his mill, to the endangering of man and beast; and six months later, he was psented for not grinding corne serviceable, but to greate losse & damnage, both in not grinding it well, as also causeing ment to stay long before it can be grounde, except his servant to feede."
     These accusations were not supported by evidence and he was released. After his death, on 4 August 1644, Mrs. Jenney "upon the psentment against her pmiseth to amend the grinding at the mill, and to keepe the morters cleane and baggs of corne from spoyleing and looseing." Samuel carried on with the mill. Samuel had apprenteice with his father and later to Kenelm WInslow. John Jenney took two apprecitces, John Smith  and THomas Higgins (for 7 to 8 years), they were both working at the mill during John's lifetime.
      John was again at Court for trading with the Indians, which was against the law, 6 January 1636-37:
"Whereas John Jenney, Thomas Willett, and George Watson did, contrary to the auncient lawes of this colony, trade wth the Indians for corne, and thereby both the quabtitie of corn & he value thereof was forfaited to the collony, and that there upon the corne so traded contrary to law was seized to the use of the collony, and that afterwards,, by a publicke order made in Court, it was referred to the bench the said bench doth now order, that thone (the one) halfe of the said corne, and the forfaiture beisdes shalbe freely given to them againe, and theother halfe of the corne shalbe delivered to the Treasurer for the use of the collony, to be disposed as the bench shall see fit."
     On 20 April 1641, John received permission to make salt on Clark's Island and "to use such wood on the island as me may."
      John obtained the home of Richard Marsterson, on Smith's Lane. It was constructed of "hewn plank". John later sold this first framed house of Plymouth to George Watson in 1635 for £23, In February 1638, John bought property at Rocky Nook from John Howland. Since he was most involved with Town Brook and Strawberry Hill, this was most likely an investment. He also increases his holdings in February 1638 with a purchase from Web Adey for £17:20 for :his house and garden place adjoyneing and three acres upon which the house stood inPLymouth." and in June 163, when he purchased of £15 from RIchard Clough, "all his house & garden with the dence abouth the same, together with some posts, rails, and pallasadoes kying in the woods." These lots were on the south side of Summer Street in Plymouth and extended from Spring Lane to the 1883 house of Barnabas Churchill.
      It is thought that his interest in trade, he may have been the owner of the little James, a pinnace-2 masted craft of forty-four tones. Though no evidence is found he did own in 1637 a new barque which he used to travel back and forth to England. It was known as John Jenney's barque.

Two of the principal passengers that came in this ship were Mr. Timothy Hatherly and Mr. George Morton...The latter of the two forenamed, viz., Mr. George Morton was a pious, gracious servant of God, and very faithful in whatsoever publick emplyment he was betrusted withal, and an unfeigned well-willer, and according to his sphere and condition a suitable premoter of the common good and growth of the plantation of New Plimouth; labouring to still the discontents that sometimes would arise amongst some spirits by occasion of the difficulties of these new beginnings; but it pleased God to put a period to his days soon after his arrival in New-England, not surviving a full year after his coming ashore. With much comfort and peace he fell asleep in the Lord, in the month of June, Anno. 1624."
