General Notes: Husband - Robert M. Shaw

---

He received only a common-school education, but being a man of sound judgment and a close observer, he gained a good practical knowledge of men and events. He was an agriculturist, and when a young man began life for himself on a farm in Wayne township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, and then removed to Pine Creek township, buying the Squire Hamilton farm of 115 acres, upon which he made very extensive improvements, including the erection of a good brick residence and a substantial barn. He also planted an orchard, and took great pride in his farming and stock-raising, being accounted one of the most practical farmers and reliable business men of his community. He was first a Whig and later a Republican in politics, and took quite an active part in political affairs.

His life was spent mainly in Venango and Clinton counties, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer and cabinetmaker, a Republican and a Presbyterian.
