About Nicholas Shaw, I
From "History of Weymouth":
Nicholas Shaw (John 2, Abraham 1) was born (christened) at Weymouth 23 Mar. 1662, died there 19 Dec. 1717, aged 55.
He married, in 1686, Deborah Whitmarsh, daughter of Nicholas and Hannah (- - - -) Whitmarsh, born at Weymouth, 3 Aug. 1659. [Newton Whitmarsh Bates, in Genealogy of the Descendants of John Whitmarsh, 1916, said Deborah was a daughter of John and Sarah (Harding) Whitmarsh, that she was born in 1665 and married Nicholas Shaw in 1686, which is more likely for Deborah, daughter of Nicholas and Hannah Whitmarsh was about 3 years older than Nicholas whereas Deborah, John and Sarah Whitmarsh was about 3 years younger than Nicholas Shaw].
"Being apprehensive of his mortality, he made his will 25 June 1717, and it was proved 17 March 1717/18 [17 March 1718 today's calendar]. He mentions his wife Deborah, his daughters Alice Bates, Deborah Beals, Ruth Shaw, his son Nicholas Shaw to have land in Abington, whereon he liveth, sons John Shaw, Abraham Shaw and Benjamin Shaw his homestead, son Zachariah Shaw land in Penn Plain.
