John Shaw b. abt 1597 at England; m. abt 1622 Alice Shaw Nee Unknown; d. aft 30 January 1663 at Middleboro, Plymouth, MA, aged 66 years.

His origins are unknown.

Their Children:

• 1. John b. abt 1622 at England; thought to have returned to England after selling land to brother-in-law Stephen Bryant in 1651.

John came to America before 1627 from England. His wife and children followed at a later date. He was listed as a freeman in 1636 and 1637, which means he disavowed his allegiance to the King of England. In 1645 he was one of eight men who went out against the Narragansett Indians. He worked as a surveyor of roadways in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

John Shaw was an "old comer" at Plymouth, sharing in the division of cattle there in 1627, and one of the first settlers of Middleborough in 1662.
