    Notes:

Mathew, RI Roots Gleanings publication: "6 May 1793, Anna Shaw, widow of Anthony Shaw, late of Exeter, deceased, refused to take adminstration on the personal estate of her husband and the next of kin of lawful age, Stephen Shaw, was absent . . . Stephen Shaw later appeared, refused administration, and approved of what had been done." James Clarke was appointed adminstrator.

    "17 June 1793, Anthony Shaw of Stephentown in the County of Rensoler (Rensselaer), New York, was appointed guardian of his brother Arnold Shaw, son of Anthony Shaw, late of Exeter, deceased, on his complying with the law and giving bond in the amount of 100 pounds . . . Benjamin and William Shaw, sons of Anthony Shaw, deceased, appeared in council and chose Matthew Clarke of Exeter to be their guardian. The council agreed and also appointed him guardian to Anthony Shaw's son John."

    "26 Oct 1793, at the house of the heirs of Anthony Shaw; Anthony Shaw of Stephentown, in Rensoler (Rensselaer) County, New York, guardian of Arnold Shaw, an infant son of Anthony Shaw, late of Exeter, deceased, appeared in council and resigned the guardianship. In his place the council appointed John Shaw of Newport, who was to comply with the law and post bond in the amount of 100 pounds . . .
