Notes:
                   OCCUPATION: 
    Clothier

BIRTH:
    Some sources list the christening date as 14 nov 1585, although this is several years before the marriage of Thomas Shawe and Elizabeth Longbotham.  Alternate dates include 2 Jan 1589, which places the child within this marriage.  Additional research may help determine if Abraham is actually the son of Thomas Shawe and his first wife Agnes Smith, married 3 aug 1584.

HISTORICAL NOTES:
    -Abraham was a clothier by occupation. He was also involved in mining activities in the village of Northowram. Abraham signed agreements with John Booth of Northowram (20 March 1635, re: coal mining in Northowram), John Farrar of Eyewood (7 Aug 1633, re: coal mining in Hipperholme and Sowerby), George Denton of Halifax (10 May 1634) & Joseph Lister of Northowram (10 June 1635).  -They left England & moved to the Massachusetts Bay Colony Abt. 1635. Abraham and Bridget came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony with their children around 1635 and first settled in Watertown. After their house and goods burnt in October 1636, the Shaw family moved to Dedham, MA. Abraham was an incorporator of Dedham and signed the town covenant. He was elected freeman on 9 March 1636/37.  -During the first year of Dedham's settlement, Abraham proposed the erection of a watermill for the purpose of grinding corn. The town granted him about 70 acres of land. On 12 Feb 1636/37, he was granted permission by the town to build a corn mill. Abraham chose a site along the Charles River, but unfortunately died in 1638, leaving his work largely unfinished.  -Abraham made his will in November of 1638. In 1639, the Shaw family sold the estate in Dedham and moved about 10 miles east to Weymouth.
