I am slowly working my way back in the Shaw line and believe it will lead me back to Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland (1274-1329 and ruled 1306-1329). What’s one more royal ancestor to add to the list, right? You know Edward Jones’ name was really Emery Hall Shaw, so while I work on the king ancestor angle, I found that the Shaw clan was an arm of the Macintosh clan in the Highlands of Scotland and very powerful in their time. Here is a link to a short history. Their motto and crest was By Fidelity and Fortitude. They had their own tartan as well.

Bonnie EastonHi! I am a Jones cousin, daughter of Evelyn Jones Easton. Since retiring as a reference librarian after 20 years, I have become a genealogy addict. Our ancestors want to tell us their stories.
