Heather, I forgot to mention that the parents of Joseph Shaw, who married Rebecca Forbis, were William Shaw and Sarah Jobe. William came from Ireland and served in the Rev. War under Arthur Forbis. My notes say "Fall 1775- William Shaw entered military service in Guilford County, North Carolina under the command of Col. James Martin, Col. Com. John Paisley, Lt. Col. Captain Arthur Forbis, Lt.William Wiley and Ensign William Gilmore, his Company Officers. He also served a second term under the same officers." This is from the NATFB. So apparently the Shaw family and the Forbis family knew each other very well in Guilford County.
