Notes on James Shaw’s family:

Sadly, James Shaw died at just 25 years of age, leaving a wife and three young sons. In his will, he designated that his two older sons be raised by his “loving uncle, Christopher Thompson,” until they were 21, and that his youngest son be raised by his wife, Margaret. Each son was bequeathed five pounds sterling, one cow, one sow, two barrows, and three young “hoggs”. The rest of his goods and possessions were left to Margaret. The will, written on April 13, 1718, indicates that James was “very sick and weake in body, but of sound and perfect sense and memory.”

On March 29, 1779, Josiah Shaw leased for eleven years to James Wilson of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, part of “White Lackington”, his dwelling plantation. Later that year, he purchased land from Josiah Beall and took out a mortgage from Peter Carns on several pieces of land, including part of White Lackington.

Notes on William Thompson’s family:

William had a brother named Christopher. Both received tracts of land in Prince George’s County in 1685, referred to Scotland and Whitelaintine, respectively. In 1699, Christopher gave 100 acres of what he called “White Lackington” to William, which was left to William’s son, John, then later passed from John to his nephew, William Shaw. William inherited another 100 acres of “White Lackington” from his great uncle Christopher, who had raised him following his father’s death.

Notes on William Shaw’s family:

Around 1817/18 Luke Lewis Shaw came to Kentucky from Charles County, Maryland, marrying along the way in Ohio. Luke’s mother, Pricilla, and her children, Ann, Matilda, James, and John Anderson followed around 1822.

It would appear by the birth dates that Joseph Shaw and Sarah Shaw were twins.

Joseph Shaw and wife Rebecca may or may not have come to Kentucky with his mother and other siblings. He ended up in Indiana, as did some other Shaws who passed through Kentucky, but his name is not listed in records mentioning their migration to Kentucky. Joseph was baptized in Piscataway Parish in 1787 and buried in Cliff Hill Cemetery in Versailles, Ripley County, Indiana, along with Rebecca.

Sarah, too was baptized in 1787 in Piscataway Parish, and it is supposed that she and her husband did not come to Kentucky, as there is no mention of them there. There is also no mention of William or Samuel.

John Anderson Shaw was a cabinetmaker and Methodist minister. He relocated his family to White County, Arkansas in 1866/67, presumably after his wife’s death. He died in Arkansas, but his body was brought back to Fleming County, Kentucky in a wagon, to be buried next to Martha.

John Anderson’s children:

~William Young Shaw was a preacher, a carpenter, and a farmer with descendants believed to be in Kansas and Nebraska.

~Frank Landrum Shaw was a doctor who practiced in Pangburn, Arkansas, was also a preacher and cabinetmaker.

~Harvey Parish Shaw, also in Arkansas, became a preacher and carpenter, and also studied medicine but never practiced.

~Lorenzo Dow Shaw returned to Kentucky after a couple of years in Arkansas. He became a Methodist minister and died of tuberculosis in Uvalde, Texas.

~Flavius Josephus Shaw lived for a time in Covington, Kentucky before going to Arkansas. He became a Methodist preacher, died at Humphrey, Arkansas, and is buried in Lonoke, Arkansas.

~Samuel Gooding Shaw became an Arkansas minister, practiced medicine in Center Point, Texas, and died at Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas.

It bears mentioning that there are some discrepancies in info about William’s children family which come from two respected, reliable sources. I have chosen to examine the facts I possess and make educated guesses about what is the closest to being correct. Also worth noting is that Piscataway Parish, originally part of Prince George’s County, later became part of Charles County, so it’s likely that William and Priscilla didn’t move, but that the County boundaries were changed during the time of their residency.

John’s wife, Jane, was a widow when she married John.

There is a discrepancy in the year of Lucinda Tinney’s birth – I’ve found records that say, 1801, 1802, and 1803.

Notes on Luke Lewis Shaw’s family:

Luke Lewis Shaw served in the War of 1812, from October 24, 1814 to March 24, 1815, in Washington D.C, protecting British prisoners and public property. Luke Lewis’s family were Methodists and he was a farmer. He generally went by the name Lewis.

Census records indicate that the John Tinney, Luke Lewis Shaw, and Isaac Ritchie families all lived nearby one another.

Luke’s daughter, Sally, never married.

After Nancy Shaw Snapp died in 1843, her husband Willis married her younger sister, Emily, in 1846.

Luke’s daughter, Susan, was killed by lightning in her youth.

Daniel and John Snapp, consecutive husbands of Angeline, were brothers.

In the 1850 census, John Shaw was listed as a farmer.

Luke Lewis’s granddaughter by Luke Lewis, Jr., Mary Tom, died at age three or four.

Luke Lewis, Jr.’s wife, Drucilla Gaunce, died after the birth of her child. His second wife, Mary Jane Kenton, is the daughter of William Kenton, Jr. and Cassandra Mastin.

Luke Lewis, Jr. enlisted in the Civil War on October 17, 1864 and was discharged September 15, 1865. He contracted some illness or disease during his service.

Notes on James Melvin Shaw’s family:

James Melvin Shaw served in the Civil War for the Union Army. During the war, he was hospitalized with measles, but was accidentally thought to have gone AWOL. He returned from the war a sick man, and the family story is that Sarah met him in Lexington, Kentucky and together they walked, carrying his trunk, to Carlisle, Kentucky. That trunk was passed down to Ruby Shaw Green, and a trunk belonging to Sarah was passed to Hedy Shaw Muntz. James died sixteen years after returning home from the war.

James’s wife Sarah died at 902 Chestnut Street, Anderson, Indiana, in a Shaw family house still in the family today. She is buried in Maplewood Cemetery between two of her sons, Marion Douglas and Harlen. She was a very religious woman, very strong-willed, and a fine seamstress.

James and Sarah’s son J. Hue Delossin, died at age two from blood poisoning caused when a doctor split his gums because he was unable to cut teeth.

According to family letters, James and Sarah’s son, Martin, was crippled and he was her favorite. He was her only child to receive much education and he attended college.

Sarah gave away her youngest son, Harlen, at the age of nine to a farmer who took him to Kansas. He later returned to Nicholas County and worked for the railroad.

Around 1909, Sarah and her sons Doug (Marion Douglas), Martin, and Harlen , moved to Anderson, Indiana. Garrett remained in Nicholas County, later relocating to Bourbon County, near Millersburg, Kentucky.

Doug Shaw was the first rural mail carrier to the community of Helena, not far from Millersburg, Kentucky. He delivered the mail on a mare named Nellie.

James’s grandson, Calvert, had six daughters. Only Hedy Wright Shaw Muntz’s name is known. However, the other daughters married men with the last names of Anderson, Cooke, Cooke, Green, and Ensminer.

Notes on the Gaunce/Taylor/Ritchie families:

McPhearson was said to be a Cherokee Indian chief who kidnapped a white girl from the Virginia mountains and together they had a child named Betty Compton. The story goes that Betty’s mother escaped from the McPhearson with her baby and made it back to her family. As I understand it, this is a story passed down from the family – I have no idea if any of it is substantiated. But I’ve chosen to go with it for now, until I find out it’s untrue.

Notes on the John Ammerman family:

Elizabeth Hibler was christened April 9, 1769 in Alexandria Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

John Ammerman appears in the 1800 and 1810 censuses of Pendleton County, Kentucky, and the 1807 Pendleton County tax list indicates he owned 247 acres of land on the South Licking.

Albert Ammerman served as a private in the Kentucky Militia in the War of 1812, enlisting on August 15, 1812. On January 18, 1813 at the Battle on the River Reason in Michigan Territory, he received a wound in his thigh which disabled him. Albert resided in Pendleton County, Kentucky until 1837, when he asked to be transferred to the pension roll of Illinois where he moved, residing in Adams County.

Notes on the Jacob Fogle family:

Although I’ve been unable to find any early history on Jacob Fogle, an enormous number of Fogles were located around Frederick, Maryland in the mid-1700s, many of the families using names common to Jacob and his children, so it seems likely he might be part of this clan.

Pendleton County histories indicate the Fogles were early settlers of the Big Fork Lick area.

There is some discrepancy in the birth order of Jacob’s children, but using the information I have, I’m making my best guess.

Pendleton County records show that John Fogle was a pauper in his adulthood, and he died by 1840, as indicated by information in the will of his father Jacob, written on February 28, 1840. The will leaves the farm to Jacob’s wife, Mary, to be passed to children Susan and Philip after Mary’s death. He leaves children Sarah, George, William, and Jacob, Jr. 100 acres apiece, as well as 100 acres to son John’s heirs and 100 acres to Mary Luckett, daughter of Elizabeth Luckett, who was also deceased by then.

Sarah Ann Fogle’s daughter, Cynthia Ann Isbel Justice, married David Fogle, son of Sarah’s brother John. Looks like a case of first cousins marrying. Interestingly enough, Pendleton County records show that Cynthia and David’s children were all adopted.

Jacob Fogle, Jr. and his sons, George and John, served in the Confederate Army.

Margaret T. Parks’s mother was born in Virginia, her father in Ireland.

Jacob Fogle, Jr. and Margaret Parks were farmers; in 1850, the value of their real estate was $,1500, and in 1860 it was $3,000 with additional personal value of $1,200. In addition to their children, they had a domestic helper living with them: Angelina Justice – b-1830. Census records also show they had an adopted daughter, Matilda Justice, born around 1841. Seems likely this may be their niece, Matilda Justice, daughter of Sarah Ann Fogle and Jesse Justice. By 1880, Margaret was paralyzed on her right side.

Susanna Mary Elizabeth Fogle was classified as an “idiot” in census records and ceased living with her parents sometime after age eleven.

Notes on the Columbus Fogle family:

According to the 1880 census, also living with Columbus’s family were Malinda Dance (b. 1850), and her daughter, Cora Dance, (b. 1872.)

Columbus and Cymantha were married at the home of his brother, Robert.

Notes on the Marion Douglas Shaw and Julia Fogle family:

Before marrying Marion Douglas Shaw, Julia Fogle was married to someone by the last name Weaver. Julia’s uncle, George Fogle, was married to Elizabeth Weaver, so there could be a connection there.

Julia and Marion Douglas divorced and, according to family stories, Julia ran a speakeasy in Newport, Kentucky during the gangster/prohibition era. I have a ring that belonged to Julia.

Marion Douglas migrated to Anderson, Indiana with his mother, Sarah Gaunce Shaw, and some of his brothers. Doug died of internal poison ivy.

Julia is buried in Linden Grove Cemetery in Covington, Kentucky, although burial records refer to her as Julia Weaver and the grave is not marked.

Elizabeth Shaw died young, and Lula married and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Notes on the Edward Shaw and Lillian Tattershall family:

Both Edward Shaw and his brother Garnet had prison records. Edward settled down when he became a grandfather and was very close with his grandsons. He took them fishing and hunting. During this period, Edward worked in a dog kennel for many years and also for a homebuilder.

Marion Douglas did not see his sons often in their adulthood; according to relatives, Garnet had a long prison record and by one account died in prison.

Edward’s daughter Dorothy divorced Alton in 1954. She never remarried. Dorothy and Alton’s youngest son, Barry, was hit by a drunk driver while riding his bike, and killed at age seven.

Edward Shaw and his wife, Lillian, are buried at Highland Cemetery, Ft. Mitchell, Kenton County, next to their grandson, Barry, and near their daughter, Julia.

Notes on the Thomas Jefferson Tattershall, Sr. Family:

William Tattershall was killed in the California Gold Rush.

Thomas Jefferson Tattershall, Jr. and Benjamin Franklin Tattershall married sisters, Nancy Ann and Barbara Isgrig.

Three of Thomas Sr.’s children married Hubbards, so it’s likely they were related, possibly brothers and sisters.

Notes on the Thomas Jefferson Tattershall, jr. Family:

John Tattershall enlisted in the Civil War on August 22, 1862; he was a private in the Ohio Infantry. Records describe him as 5’11”, with a light complexion, blue eyes, and light hair. He was wounded at Vicksburg, Mississippi on May 19, 1862, and mustered out on July 24, 1864 in Galveston, Texas.

James Tattershall entered the Ohio Infantry on June 8, 1864. He was 5’7” with a fair complexion, blue eyes and auburn hair. He was wounded July 9, 1864 at Monocacy, Maryland and mustered out with his company on June 25, 1865 near Washington, DC. He was captured after being wounded at Monocacy, sent to a hospital, then sent to a Confederate prison. He moved around quite a bit after his discharge, with addresses in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. He never married.

Hiram and Benjamin were twins.

Thomas Barton Tattershall died of a stroke and Walter Tattershall died of tuberculosis, both in Colorado.

Tattershall Coat of Arms

Tattershall Castle

The castle of Tateshale or Tattershall stands upon the right bank of the Bain, more than a mile above its junction with the Witham. The position, though flat, had certain advantages of strength, as it is in a V-shaped space between the two streams, the point of which is formed by their meeting at Dogdyke, and it was protected in the rear by the swampy moorland which stretched to the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, near Horncastle.

It is probable that the site was chosen in 1231, when the castle was founded, and that the present village of Tattershall came into being as a result of this choice. At any rate, the earlier settlement, mentioned in Domesday, was at Tattershall Thorpe, a hamlet less than a mile to the north, part of which belonged in 1086 to the fee of Eudo, som of Spirewic, while another part was in the fee of the bishops of Durham. These two portions were united under the descendants of Eudo and formed the manor of Tattershall and the head of a barony, with members scattered in other countries in which the family held estates.

Eudo (i.e. Eudes, or as the name became in later English, Otes) was one of the knights who came into England with William the Conqueror. As far as we know, he founded no castle on his estate at Tattershall; the place lay upon no strategic route, such as determined the construction of early Norman castles. It became, however, the chief residence of his descendants. Hugh, son of Eudo, founded the neighboring Cistercian abbey of Kirkstead in 1139, and his grandson, Robert, was known as Robert of Tateshale, a surname borne by the family for more than a century. This Robert died in 1212, and it is possible that the marble effigy of a knight in heavy barrel helmet, which remains in the beautiful early 13th century chapel at Kirkstead, may be his.

The inheritance of Robert of Tateshale passed to five Roberts in succession. His son, Robert II, was the first builder of Tattershall Castle. On 21 May 1231 he had license from the Crown by letters patent to “cause a house of stone and lime to be made firm, freely and without impediment, at his manor of Tateshale,” and the sheriff of Lincoln was ordered to allow him to do so. The word firmari (to be made firm) implies fortification, and this dwelling was thus a private fortress, built with the sanction of the king, the nominal lord of all the castles of the realm.

Here is a painting of the castle I found on the internet labeled as Tattershall Castle, Lincolnshire, done in 1837:

Notes on the Conrad Lottes/Jacob Reidinger families:

The Conrad Lottes family lived on Alexandria Pike in Southgate, Kentucky. Conrad and Barbara are buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Southgate, Kentucky, Section 6, Lot 27. Their children Margaret, Mary, John, and Christ are all buried in the same cemetery, Section 27, Lot 92 S.

Jacob Riedinger died in his forties; he had red hair. His wife, Margaret Lottes, later died of a stroke at her home in Newport, Kentucky. The three youngest Riedinger children are believed to have died very young.

Henry Tattershall and wife Barbara Riedinger are buried in Evergreen Cemetery, as well. Henry is in his sister’s plot, Section 54, Lot 87, south half, and Barbara is in her inlaws’ plot, Section 24, Lot 28, east half.

Emma Riedinger’s first husband, David Freeman, was killed by a train.

James Elmer Christian’s first wife died giving birth to their son, James.

Clara Riedinger married Lew Christian, brother of Jim Christian, who married Minnie Riedinger, so that two sisters married two brothers. Clara divorced her first husband, Leslie Guy; her second, Lew Christian, died.

Clara Riedinger didn’t raise her first three sons – they were raised by her aged mother, Barbara, and ex-husband Leslie Guy. The third son, Arthur, was adopted by a family named Sullender.

Richard Christian was injured on his first day on a construction job; he lost one leg and later had to have the other amputated.

Robert Christian died while cleaning a gun.
