General Notes: Wife - Margaret Shaw
She was in the Hannastown fort on the day of the battle, and under the random fire kept up by the natives ran to rescue a child from danger, when a bullet from an Indian rifle struck her in the breast, piercing her left lung. For fourteen days she suffered untold agony before death came to her relief.
