On 4 Nov 1807 "Hope Ellingwood, widow, of Frankfort" sold her rights "in the real estate of which my father John H. Shaw late of Frankfort died seized ... 1/6 undivided between heirs of John H. Shaw" (Hancock Deeds 23:286). His parents are unknown; the Ancestry tree's Capt. John Shaw, born 1735 to John Shaw and Martha Knowles, very probably lived at Wilbraham and died in Ohio.
