Asset Overview

'The infrequent occurance of the surname Shaw or its variants Shoe and Shew in the earlyCastledermot records leads me to believe that they are all derived from the same person - viz. ThomasShaw Sr., who married about 1755. For certain, the Shaws of Castledermot town are definitely descended from Thomas Shaw Sr., who, along with his sons John and Thomas Jr. are mentioned indocuments relating to the 1798 rebellion as being members of the United Irishmen.' (Source - A Genealogyof the Shaw Family of Castledermotand Knocknagee - Michael J. Wall) Reading of Shaw Grave by Wall: Here lyeth the body of Geo rge Shaw Junior who died the 23rd day of March 1699.
