See The English Origins of New England Families- Gary Boyd Roberts, NEHGS, 1985- Vol. III, pp. 152-4, also The Origin of Abraham Shaw of Dedham- M.L. Bierbrier, TAG- Vol 57 (1981), pp. 85-87 From Gary Boyd Robert’s article on Abraham Shaw of Dedham: “For many years it was believed Abraham was the illegitimate son of Janet/Jenet Shaw and Abraham Dobson of Halifax, York Co., England as reported by Pitman. The recent discovery and translation of the will of Thomas Shaw of Halifax and his daughter Sarah Shaw by Bierbrier indicates they were father and sister of Abraham of Dedham. The wills proved Abraham Shaw, a legitimate son of Thomas and Elizabeth Shaw, resided in Northowrom, Halifax, York Co, England "two months before the marriage of Abraham Shaw the emigrant" to Bridget Best. R.F. Shaw in his article in The Genealogist says these wills explain the "mystery" of how Abraham "could have acquired property in Halifax." After extensive research of land records in Halifax Parish by R.F. Shaw "definitive evidence" was found to link Abraham to Thomas and his grandfather Christopher through the tracing of a parcel of land. Also the given names of Abraham's siblings: Sarah, Susan, Joseph, Jonas, and Martha are very similar to the names of his own children: Joseph, Grace, Martha, Maria (Mary), John and Susannah. Another point in favor of Thomas Shaw as father of Abraham is the mentioning of a Henry Beste in Thomas' will as a friend and a supervisor. Henry Best was the father-in-law of Abraham.”
