Jerald,
You know in the past we've talked about Kellows and Robys and how the relate to the Boswells, but I just got a new piece of info that ties us back even earlier. You asked me to let you know if I ran into any Roby notes. You may already have this but if not:
"Shaw, Ralph, Charles Co., Maryland, dated 15 August 1757, probated 19 May 1768.
Whereas Joseph Pickrell of afsd. county has my bond for making over by good and sufficient deed in law 80 acres of land and has paid me a valuable consideration for said land I do therefore discharge the bond and give him 80 acres out of my tract called "The New Exchange" to include the plantation whereon he the said Pickrell now lives, to be laid out in the manner as I shewed said Jospeh Pickrell in the presence of John Wedding, the deficiency to be made up out of my tract called "Morbille."
To son Benjamin Shaw remaining part of my tract called New Exchange and tract called Morebille.
That tract "Shaws Polly" (Folly?), 55 acres, be sold.
To daughter Sarah Shaw/ bed, cow and calf, and other.
To daughter Elizabeth Roby, ewe.
To daughter Lydia Roby, one ewe.
To son in law Thomas Hyde Kellow, sow and five shoates.
Remaining part of personal estate to my son Benjamin Shaw and daughter Sarah Shaw.
Ex.: son Benjamin Shaw.
Wit: John Jones, John Luckett, George Maddox."
I have recently established that Thomas Hyde Kellow was indeed my 5th great grandfather. He was apparently married to a daughter of Ralph Shaw, but she doesn't seem to be mentioned here - I guess she had passed away earlier than 1768??? Anyway, I perked up when I saw the Robys in the will. I remebered that I had talked to "one of those" a while back. I have seen elsewhere that Lydia Shaw married Stephen Roby, who died and left a will dated 1790 in Charles County. Elizabeth Shaw married either Benjamin or William Roby. Stephen and Lydia Roby had sons Jacob and Joshua Roby who went to NC? Are you from one of those lines? If so, then we share a common Shaw ancestry now! Do you know anything more of that clan?
