About Margaret Shaw

MARGARET SHAW

Fake Genealogy

At least one pedigree published by MyHeritage claims that Margaret Shaw, here treated, was the wife of Sir John Houston of that Ilk, Baronet MyHeritage This is wrong. Margaret Shaw's husband was John Houston He is said to be the son of John Houston and his wife Sarah Tod and Sir John Houston of that Ilk, Baronet is in fact the son of Sir John Houston of that Ilk, 2nd Baronet and his wife Anne Drummond It seems that Sir John Houston of that Ilk, Baronet did also marry a lady named Dame Margaret Shaw but she died on 29 January 1750, Stirnet: Shaw 01 and Margaret Shaw, here treated, is reported to have died in 1747, at Augusta County in Colonial Virginia. Bogus Pedigree Published by MyHeritage

It follows, therefore, in view of the foregoing, that Margaret Shaw, here treated, is not the same person as Dame Margaret Shaw
