   EDWARD SHAW farmer, P.O. Quakertown, was born in Richland 
township in 1835.  William and Sarah (Carr) Shaw, his 
grandparents, came to America from England at an early date. 
 Samuel Shaw, the third son of this couple, was married in 
1822 to Miss Sidney Foulke, who bore him five children:  
James (deceased), Sarah, William, Ann, and Edward.  The 
father died in 1863, and the mother in 1862.  Edward, the 
subject of this sketch, was the youngest son.  He married 
Mary R., daughter of John and Margaret Good, of Plumstead 
township, this county.  The result of this union was two 
children:  J. Wilmer and Mary Emma, both of whom are now 
living. Mr. Shaw was born and reared on a farm, received a 
common-school education, and is a member of the Society of 
Friends.  He has never held any public position, but is held 
in high esteem by his fellow-men.
