Nicholas Shaw was born 28 January 1712/1713 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts and died there 7 June 1780. Ruth Beal was born about 1717 and died 15 December 1808 in Abington. They were married 6 February 1735 also in Abington. According to the page at Findagrave, she is buried at the Mount Vernon Cemetery in Abington. Her Findagrave page give a date and inscription, but no photo. I wonder if Nicholas is also buried there?
The Folder
Ah, great news: this folder is in wonderful shape! Of course, it's brand new today and only has two things in it ....
The Plan
I shouldn't do any more on this couple until I finished tying up loose ends in my research on the paternity of Norton Bates. I'm confident that I have the right parents (as shown here), but I need to finish resolving some mild contradictions and I need to formally write-up my theory and conclusions. Then, I can work back couple by couple in more detail and with a clean conscience.
Line of Descent
I have started printing the line of descent for each of my direct-line couple folders as I use the folders. With my new printer/scanner, I was able to make this image of the chart and, then, insert it here! I have impressed myself!
Conclusions
I had hoped that my First Friday Folder reviews would always result in saving lots of room in the file cabinet by my finding and removing unnecessary duplicates and other unneeded goodies. Unfortunately, this week resulted only in adding material to the drawer. But, I guess better organization is a higher goal anyway....
I would probably have more time for my serious research if I were able to quit reading other blogs and quit "playing" in the places they lead me and stay focused on a current targeted problem/topic/couple.... But, where's the great fun in that?!
