Funny thing is, the main Shaw ancestor that my line descends from was Captain William Shaw who was given a grant of land in Ireland for saving General Ponsoby at the Battle of the Boyne. In reality, my ancestors who owned stately homes in Ireland were Protestant transplants from England or Scotland and were squatters on Irish land.
