    Abraham and Bridget (Best) Shaw and their children emigrated to America in 1636 on the Anne. When they first came to America, they went to Watertown, MA; their house was burned down in October 1636, whereupon they moved to Dedham. Abraham was the owner of coal mines in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, where they had come from, and in 1637, shortly before his death, he was given a permit to erect a coal mill. Bridget had died sometime between 1636 and 1638 as well, leaving their six children, including our ancestor Susannah, their oldest, aged 21 and already married by then, orphaned. Their other children were 20, 17, 10, 8, and 6.

    We are descended through the Laviolette (DeRochemont-Shorey) line.
