Reference: Ancestry Genealogy - SmartCopy: Jul 7 2017, 23:17:06 UTC Capt. Job Shaw was the 10th of the 12 known children of Benjamin Shaw and Mary Atwood. He was born in 1763/4 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. (Note: an error that is widespread all over the internet claims that Job was born 24 June 1760. However, that is in fact the date of birth of Job's same-named brother-in-law JOB SHERMAN, who was born in Middleboro, Massachusetts. That date is obviously impossible for Job Shaw, because Job's older brother Isaiah Shaw was born 10 March 1760, about three months before Job's purported birth. Most regrettably, this erroneous birthdate of "24 June 1760" has spread via the internet and is now found in the vast majority of Ancestry.com's family trees that include Job Shaw. Other sources, including family group sheets prepared by Adele Adams and Verda May (Shaw) Tullis, say Job was born 1763/4, which is probably an approximation based on Job's birth order, between Isaiah who was born in 1760 and Benoni who was born in 1765. One online family tree gives Job's date of birth as 24 June 1763, but that evidently is nothing more than the day and month of Job Sherman's date of birth combined with the year of Job Shaw's birth.)
