QUESTIONABLE" ?

Mary Shaw Bicknell ? - daughter of Abraham Shaw and Elizabeth Bridget Best ?

Apparently there is no confirmed source for the information that the Mary Shaw who married John Bicknell was a daughter of Abraham Shaw. In the treatment of Zachary Bicknell in The Great Migration states: "The first wife of John Bicknell, son of the immigrant, is sometimes said to be a daughter of Abraham Shaw, but ... no evidence is seen for this.

so this Mary Shaw Bicknell is now questionable until source is found to prove Mary is a daughter of Abraham Shaw and Elizabeth Bridget Best who married John Bicknell ...

Husband: Abraham Shaw Wife: Elizabeth Bridget Best

Child: Mary Shaw ?
