Presbyterian archive records (Session Records of Concord, S. C., Harmony Presbytery, 1853-86) indicate that he was baptized "William Bartlett Shaw". However, he was only known as "Willie Shaw" his whole life (his grandson, Bill Shuler, had never heard of the full baptismal name). 1870 census, William, age 2 1880 census, Willie, age 11 He & Nettie Shaw's home on the northwest corner of Shaw's Crossroads still stands (as of 2019). It was subsequently the home of Hal D. & Florence Shaw Shuler, Willie's daughter. Willie farmed in that area; and he was very much an enthusiast of bird hunting for quail. Somehow, I ended up inheriting his 20 gauge pump shotgun. He was also a stock-holding member of Ramsey Grove Hunt Club near Georgetown, S. C. As with nearly all Sumter & Lee County Shaws, he was a Presbyterian (a member of Concord Presbyterian Church), and Nettie attended & churched their children in First Baptist Church in Sumter (the Pringle family being Baptists). Nettie had died 5+ years earlier. Willie married "Mattie" Martha Hix of Union, S. C.; the marriage was just over 5 months at the point of his untimely death due to lobar pneumonia (obituary & death certificate). It is said that Mattie left Sumter after the probation of Willie's estate (he died without a will). As of early 2014, family does not know what ever happened to Mattie. From his obituary, The State newspaper also the Columbia Record, 5/27/31: For more than 35 years, Willie was a Sumter School District #1 trustee (and the school flags were all at half mast when news of his death got around). He died at age 62 in a one week illness of pneumonia. "As one of the most progressive and successful farmers of Sumter County"...one of the most popular men in the county. He was predeceased by his only son a decade earlier (appendicitis & pneumonia). And he is survived by brothers David C. Shaw of Charlotte, John W. Shaw of Sumter, and sisters Miss Lou Shaw and Mrs. J. H. (Etta Lee) McCollum, both of Sumter.
