Joseph Shaw B: 10/02/1819 D: 05/09/1853 M: 12/13/1842 Emily Walker Langston B: 07/14/1811 D: 05/27/1869 and she is buried in the Newnansville Cemetery. Emily was the daughter of John Walker, 1768-1841 & Keturah Walker 1769-1845. Emily had three children with Thomas Langston, 1805-1839. Their names were Emeline Keturah Langston, Marcus DeLaFayette Langston & Lavenia Lucinda Langston. Laurens became a separate county in 1785 from the Ninety-Six District, being named for the Revolutionary War patriot Henry Laurens of Charleston. The town of Laurens became the county seat, and the first courthouse was erected in 1786. The current courthouse was built in 1840 and enlarged in 1857. Andrew Johnson, president of the United States, and his brother came to Laurens in 1824 and established a tailor shop.

The family moved from SC to Lickskillet, GA (near Atlanta, was later changed to Adamsville). Founded as a farming village, Adamasville was possibly named for early resident G. W. Adams, who farmed there in 1882 when it was called Lick Skillet. The name was changed to Adamsville in 1906. Joseph died during the Typhoid fever breakout, 1853. After Josephs death, the family moved a little north of Dalton, GA. There is a huge section called Red Clay, near Cohutta, GA, and a rail system ran through there. This is when the war between the states broke out and Gardiner left for the 28th Georgia Regiment in 1861, Company K, and died in service after the Battle of Cold Harbor, Virginia. During the War Between the States, on May 2, 1864, the 2nd Brigade, First Cavalry Division, Dept. of the Cumberland, U. S. Army, after a hard fight drove the Confederates from this town. It then became an important depot of supplies for Federal forces. A heavy force of Federals guarded this town to prevent Confederate raids from capturing valuable stores here. The Federal Army of Ohio, moving South toward Dalton passed through this town.

M: 12/10/1868 Mary Frances Thomas, daughter of Isham B. Thomas and Mary E.Ulmer, B: 04/03/1850 in Georgia D: 09/15/1906. Was buried in Thomas Cemetery, Alachua County, Florida. He enlisted in the 4th Ga. Cavalry, Co. H., from Coweta Co. on Oct 2nd 1862 (Company H Fourth Georgia Cavalry enlisted December 29, 1862). Evidently, this regiment became attached to the Army of Tennessee under the command of Gen. Braxton Bragg in the defense of central Tennessee in 1862 and 1863. Jesse served with Col Avery. Company "H" was not organized until Nov. 16, 1862, the regiment being camped at Dalton GA on Dec. 16, 1862. Jesse and his regiment patrolled Shelbyville, Fayetteville and Murfreesboro, TN, in Col Averys Regt. Isaac W. Avery's regiment reorganized on Jan. 30, 1863. Duncan L. Clinch's regiment having organized on Jan. 15, 1863, Avery recognized the right of Clinch's regiment to the designation 4th Georgia Cavalry. Avery wrote to the War Department on Jan. 9, 1863 from Fayetteville, TN to request arms for his men. Enough saddles were available to equip his command, but like many other Confederate cavalry units, most of his soldiers were unarmed or only partly armed. This stuation seems to have remedied shortly after Feb. 19, 1863, when Col. Avery requisitioned 15,000 rounds of Colt Navy cartridges from the arsenal at Macon GA. By May 13, 1863, when Avery reported from Chapel Hill, TN, his command had been assigned to Crews Georgia Brigade of Wharton's Cavalry Division, Army of Tennessee (Brig. Gen. John A. Wharton). Jesse recalls "oh, we had one of the coldest winters I ever experienced in all my life so I came back home in spring of 63, as I was under age." The combat record of Avery's 4th Georgia Cavalry Regiment began after the death of Thomas J. Stevenson on April 12, 1863. Emily moved her family to Gainesville Florida and Jesse volunteered in the Reserves in Capt. J B Nickolas' Company, and served the last year of the war here in the state of Florida.

"I was never in a battle, but in 3 or 4 skirmishes. Got to hear the balls whistle & the cannon shells pass over & burst in front of our line, right among the Yankees & you bet they scatered. That was at Darbys Station, near Jacksonville, where they (the Yankees) were tearing up the R.R. We were at Old Baldwin (near Jacksonville), when news of surrender came in, and where we were to be paroled and then head back home, to Old Newnansville where my mother and younger brother & sister lived and three years later, in winter of 1868 was married to Miss Fannie Thomas, daughter of Mr. I. B. Thomas & worked our farm & raised 9 large healthy children."

CSA pension #A07814. They actually had eleven children, the set of twins died at two years old.

On 11/02/1899, Jesse recieves 500 acres.

On 08/25/1910, Jesse sells 85 acres to son Joseph for $400.

M: 1908 to Inés Brignoni Y Mercado (Ynés or Inis) Brignoni Y Mercado De Shaw), B: 1882 in Puerto Rico D:  Puerto Real, Vieques, Puerto Rico. In 1920, Oliver was living in Puerto Real, Vieques, Puerto Rico. They had one son: Eduardo. They divorced in 1928. Member of the house, Reyes Santiago Y Acosta B: 1890 Puerto Real, Vieques, Puerto Rico D:  & Juan Santiago B: 1909 Puerto Real, Vieques, Puerto Rico D:  Puerto Real, Vieques, Puerto Rico. Oliver was a Spanish American War Vet. The conflict lasted from April to August 1898. July 25th, 1898, American troops landed at Guanica Harbor, Puerto Rico. Three days later the island surrendered. As a result, the United States acquired Puerto Rico and Guam and bought the Philippines. Cuba became independent.

1~Eduardo Brignoni De Shaw (Eduardo Shaw Y Brignoni) B: 03/27/1909 in Puerto Real, Vieques, Puerto Rico D: 08/16/1943 Galveston, Texas. (Per Eduardo: As its last name is Brignoni, it may have descend from the family of Praxedes - Praxedes died in Vieques on August 6, 1919, according to the headstone of his grave in Vieques. Petra is a widow according to the Census of 1910, being listed with 8 children's last name Marin). Of the census of 1910 we know that they lived in the Key, La Llave and married to Demetria Market, born in 1850. Their children were Petra (1874), Ines (1882), Luisa (1884), Jesus (1885) and Juan (1886). There is a breach of 8 years between Petra and Ines reason why it is probable that there were other children who already had gone away of Vieques for the date of the census. Ines is married to Oliver Shaw, natural Florida. Luisa is married to Ramón Dalmau for the 1920 census. Jesus and John found nothing more. As Interestingly, Praxedes also appears in 1880 as one of the Commissioners in the Junta Municipal Meeting of Vieques. Severina Perez Brignoni, born in 1886 is Eduardo's maternal grandmother)

Re-Married Emma Eugenea 'Gina' Scott in 1930 in Lake County, Florida. Emma B: 08/16/1890 Higley, Lake County, Fl., and died 08/21/1938 in Paisley, FL. Gina was a school teacher for many years. She was devoted to her family and cared for her husband before his death and father before her death. Her oldest brother, CSA Lt. Burrell T. Etheridge died in battle in Virginia 1864. Her family suffered greatly during the war and after her mother's death the family was divided. Emma was "adopted" by Hardy Royals in Cuthbert, Randolph Co. Ga when she was 13. Hardy raised her until her marriage and must have been a great influence on her because she named her first child and only son Walter Hardy Scott. By all family accounts, she did not know much about her family. Only through much research do we have this information. Walter and Emma married in Octavia, Early Co, Ga. 1878. They lived in Damascus, Ga before moving to Higley, Lake Co, Fl and later to Altoona. She died tragically in a car accident with her sister "Bessie" Scott Brantley and husband Sidney Brantley. A sod truck rolled over on their car as it rounded a curve in the road while they were traveling to Miami, Fl to visit a daughter of Bessie and Sidney. Nephew Maurice Brantley was the driver of their car and survived the crash. The accident happened very close to their homes in Altoona, Fl. Gina is buried next to her sister Irma Scott Brooke and near her nieces and parents, at the Glendale Cemetery Umatilla, Lake County FL.

It's a shame so many of our old cracker homes are only a safe haven for critters now.

Life

They say I need a coat of paint,

Though boards are holding tight,

My side porch has now lost a post

And stands at half its height.

My crowning touch, the gingerbread,

Holds to my gable end

And though I fight against the years,

It’s hard to just pretend.

The gales of the hurricane

Blow thru my window jambs

And swirl thru the casing

Where there is no door to slam.

For several years I had a friend,

Would often sleep within,

He’d curl up in a corner,

Just hair that covered skin.

It brought to mind my children

And times both good and bad,

The wiggly pups around their feet,

Each dog they ever had.

He stayed with me for several years..

Now lonely as before,

For old dog curled up one last time,

There under kitchen floor.

I wait with patience thru the years,

There’s no one who stops by,

Yet still I fight to keep roof on,

To keep my inside dry.

Was just a day or two ago,

Perhaps a month by now,

Close by my porch that’s caving in,

I heard a weak meow.

I hope she’ll bring her kittens in,

When time has passed to hide

And place them in a corner

And bring back life inside.

The sun has warmed my old pine floor,

My roof will keep out rain,

I’ll gather strength to fight the years,

Till life comes back again.
