Biography

The name Abraham Shaw appears on a list of men under the command of Captain William Turner as of April 7, 1676. He is not, however, listed as one of those that took part in the Turner Falls Massacre of thatsame year.
It has been suggested that Abrahan died 11 Mar 1756 at Weymouth, Massachusetts however there is no evidence to support that claim in the Vital Records of Weymouth (Deaths), p. 335. Abraham's name does not appear in the administration of his father's estate dated March 11, 1705/06 so he was likely deceased at that time.
