Moses SHAW, my great grandfather, was born Jan. 18, 1735. Ann SHAW, his wife was born Feb. 16, 1738. the dates of the births of their children are as follows: Isaiah SHAW Oct. 11, 1763; Elizabeth SHAW, Dec. 26, 1764; Moses Shaw b. Sept. 23, 1766. On April 1, 1770, Elizabeth and Moses, taking advantage of the fine weather, stripped their tiny feet of shoes and stockings and were following their father, who was ploughing with a yoke of oxen around and about the field. ... After her mother'd death, the little Elizabeth took charge of her father's house and family, but he finally got married again and was the father of eleven children, eight by his first wife and three by his second. Their names were Isiah, Elizabeth, Moses, David SHAW, Joseph SHAW, Zebina SHAW, Havilah SHAW, Mary SHAW, Susanna SHAW, second Susanna and Ann. They were born and brought up in Granville, Annapolis Valley, N.S. At about the age of 19, Elizabeth married Josiah SNOW. Eleven children were the outcome of this alliance. In the year 1814 they moved to Wakefield (Carleton Co.) and there they both died, he in the year 1832 and she in 1854 in her 89th year. The last 25 years of her life she was blind. As a singer, her voice was not excelled in the old church. She seemed to know all of Watt's hymns and many old people who survive her, speak of her singing to this day. Now this little girl (Elizabeth) who was lost on Granville Mountain was my grandmother and I belong to a family of eleven children. One is dead and the youngest has many grandchildren. Our family live in six different states of the Union and the province of New Brunswick. The above story was narrated to me by the lips of my grandmother, the girl who was lost and this little history I bequeath to the eyes of the reading public (signed) John MALLORY, Jacksontown, March 10, 1892 (see original 'How Grandmother Was Lost')
