It appears that Shaw Cemetery may no longer exist. This is a map showing route 
following directions as provided by WPA Veterans' Grave Registrations (1940-
41, No veteran's graves were reported.  The destination lead to private 
property, there was no headstone on the property.
Some time ago it was said there was only one headstone left, that of a 12 year 
old girl, believe to be the girl reported by Winnie Smith Hodges in her book 
Cemeteries of Hamilton County, published in 1991 “Rebecca Holliman with no 
dates; placed by brother Alfred Holliman”.
Recent contact with Mrs. Geraldine Fisher, of Jasper provided information on 
another burial, that of her Gr-gr-grandfather Joseph Kerse, b. 1827, in 
Georgia d. Abt 1860, in Hamilton County, FL. However, she was unsuccessful 
locating someone to take me to the cemetery location.
