He is the progenitor of the Shaw families of Carolina, Louisiana and Texas. His gravesite is unmarked, but I believe this is the most logical location of his last remains and he deserved to be remembered and commemorated. He was a member of the Williamsburg Presbyterian Church and many of his children and grand children are buried here. H. D. Shaw was married 3 times after being widowed twice. His third wife outlived him by about 3 years and there was sufficient money in his estate to mark his grave, but for some reason neither of their graves were marked. The first of his wives was Agnes Strong; they were married 24 September 1818. She was the daughter of Samuel Strong and she was born in Ireland in 1783. She died 23 August 1839 in Williamsburg after giving Mr. Shaw two children: Louisa Eleanor Shaw (1821-1872), and Robert Henry Shaw (1824-1873). H. D. Shaw then married Susannah T. McGill, 23 Dec. 1840. Their son, James McGill Shaw was born 8 Dec. 1841. His mother passed away 29 July 1842, leaving H. D. Shaw with an infant and two small children to raise. Jane Britton Linerieux had lost her husband and they had a son, Francis Linerieux who was about six years of age. She agreed to marry H. D. Shaw and together, they raised the blended little family while they added three more children of their own: Joseph Peden Shaw (1845-1822), Mary Elizabeth Shaw ( 1846-1928), and William Thomas Shaw(1848-1851). 1866 was a very difficult time to live in the Deep South. It was Reconstruction after a particularly brutal war had destroyed the Southern way of life and livelihood. The Civil War had finally ended in 1865, but homes and fields were destroyed and the local governments were run by "carpetbaggers". It was a dangerous time, as well, because the courts were harsh toward former confederates. It is not clear just what happened. One note says HD Shaw was killed in the war, but another states he died at home in Kingstree. Perhaps he was grievously injured in local fighting, or in the lawlessness of the day, but Henry David Shaw died in 1866 as a result of the recent war between the states.
