William SHAW (c. 1830 – c. 1886) was Alex’s 3rd  Grandfather; one of 16 in this generation.

William was born in 1830 in Edinburgh Scotland according to the 1880 census.  On the other hand, he is recorded to be 44 years old in the 1870 census, putting his birth at 1826 and there was a single farmer William Shaw from Scotland in Vienna Township, Dane County, Wisconsin age 36 in the 1860 census which would put his birth at 1824.   William left behind 2 sisters in Edinburgh and came to New York City when he was 15 .  Later, when he was 21, he sailed around Cape Horn to California gold fields and clerked in a store.

Our William  made enough money to go to Dane County, Wisconsin (cherry belt) where there was a Scottish community and purchased a farm in Vienna Township. William married Ruth Agnes FOSTER 3 Aug or 27 Jul 1861 when he was 34 and she was 18.  Ruth was living in Arlington Township, Columbia County which is just north of Vienna Township.   William died in Dane County Wisconsin about 1886.

Ruth Agnes Foster was born on 11 Jul 1843 in Ekland, Pennsylvania.  Her parents were Josiah Harvey FOSTER and Mary Ann TURK. Other sources say that Mary Ann’s maiden name may have been LaTouche or Meritt, but I have concluded that Turk is correct.  Ruth came from Pennsylvania when she was eleven.  She was an ardent member of the United Presbyterian Church when she married William Shaw.   After William’s death they sold the farm in Wisconsin.  Robert moved to Montana (near Lewiston) where he bought a farm and settled.  Ruth moved to Bozeman with her children Howard, Will and Sadie.  Ruth died in Bozeman about 1896 when Howard, Will and Sadie were still attending Montana State College.  They had adored her and the bottom fell out of their world.  She had lived in Bozeman for five years and had been a widow for ten years.

Family legend says that Ruth was also a descendant of the Marquis De Longe who was guillotined in the French Revolution. His wife and daughter escaped the country and his daughter married an American.  In reality, this legend probably isn’t true.  Adrianus Franciscusz  De Langet (1653 – 1699) and Alex’s 9th Grandfatheris our real first DeLong ancestor in America.  He had many aliases and the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy says Aryan Fransen (Aaron the Frenchman) DELONG,Huguenot; fled to Holland; settled at Kingston, R.I.; m Rachel Jansen Pyer [Pier].  Virkus as Ref:

There is absolutely no primary evidence to support the claim of Huguenot descent. This was a 19th Century gloss based on Americans’ desire to take everything possibly construed as French (e.g. the De) and claim it was so. As to our subject, he seems to have been good old Dutch Arie Fran.

Ruth was married to William Shaw and keeping house in 1880 at a farm near Vienna, Dane County, Wisconsin.

Family legend also says Ruth’s grandmother may have beeen related toGen Nathanial GREENE of the Revolution. My grandmother’s second cousin Lydia Townsend remembered seeing a family silver tray that had belonged to him.  She didn’t know what had become of it.  I worked Nathanial Greene’s family tree back to grandparents and down to grandchildren and found Lydia Townsend in our family tree,  but wasn’t able to made a connection.

Description from John W. Hunt’s 1853 Wisconsin Gazetteer: ”

DANE, County, is bounded on the northwest by the Wisconsin river, by which it is separated from Sauk; on the north by Columbia, on the east by Dodge and Jefferson, south by Rock and Green, and west by Iowa. It was established ¿ for judicial purposes December 7, 1836, and fully organized March 11, 1839. The seat of justice is at Madison, near the geographical centre of the county, and the Court House is the best in the State. Dane county contains about 1,250 square miles, mostly of good tillable land, and a fertile soil, well apportioned between woodland, openings and prairie, and is well adapted to grazing, and the raising of grain, roots and fruit. There is, in the county, considerable non-resident land which can be bought on reasonable terms. One of the most attractive features of the county is its beautiful lakes of clear, pure cold water, originating in deep springs. The Catfish river forms the outlet of these lakes, and passes from the northwest to the southeast completely through the chain known as the Four Lakes. ¿ The county is watered by the Catfish and Sugar rivers, and Black Earth, Badfish, Token, Waterloo and Koskonong creeks. The population in 1836 was Ebenezer Brigham; 1838, 172; 1840, 314; 1842, 8,289; 1847, 10,935; 1850, 16,654. Farms, 1,511; manufactories, 87; dwellings, 3,510.”

I was curious about this fragment so I typed “University of Wisconsin Astronomy History” into Google and found the following.  The 1881 observatory looks a lot like the one near Alex’s freshman dorm.  I wonder if William assisted in the search for Planet Vulcan.

William was a dreamer and a fine amateur astronomer. He was later offered the chair of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin (so his son Jack said).  His son Robert at an early age took over management of the farm.

The history of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin began almost immediately after the university’s founding in 1849.  Its first faculty member was John Sterling, who held the title Professor of Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Astronomy.  By 1854, all UW undergraduates were required to complete at least one term of astronomy as part of a fixed curriculum that mixed the sciences with classical languages, philosophy, and literature.  Although this “classical curriculum” is often portrayed as stodgy and outdated, UW graduates in the nineteenth century had a greater literacy in astronomy than an average student of today.  However, for the first three decades of the university, astronomy remained a classroom exercise: UW possessed no astronomical instruments, nor did it have an observatory.

Funding for Wisconsin’s first major observatory did not materialize until 1877.  During the previous year, the Wisconsin Legislature passed a resolution providing a salary for a new professor of astronomy at the university provided that some wealthy patrons donate an observatory.  This patron, who had in fact helped to craft the legislation behind the scenes, was Cadwallader C. Washburn.  Washburn was a former U.S. Representative, Civil War general, and governor of Wisconsin from 1872 to 1874

Construction of the new Washburn Observatory began in 1878 on a small hill, now appropriately known as Observatory Hill, west of campus and about a mile from the State Capitol.  When it was completed, the Washburn 15.6-inch was the fourth-largest refractor in the world. However, it held this position only for a brief time as many larger instruments were made shortly thereafter.

The first director at the new facility, James Watson,  announced he discovered the planet Vulcan during the total solar eclipse of July 29, 1878,  but Mercury’s orbit was eventually understood when Albert Einstein showed in 1916 that his theory of General Relativity predicted distortions of space near the sun that produce the observed effects.

In the 1870 census, the family was living on a farm in Vienna Township, Dane County, Wisconsin.  They were served by the Columbus Post Office in Columbia County, so they may have lived in the Northeast section of the township.  His real estate was valued at $6,000 and personal property at $1,200 making him a relatively prosperous farmer for the time.  Living with the family were Christian Oleson, age 27 from Norway, Farm Laborer and Martha Erickson, age 42 from Norway, Domestic Servant.

In the 1880 census, William Meek, age 16, was recorded as a farm laborer on William’s farm.

Children

1. Robert Shaw

Robert married about 1886  Jeanette (Nettie) L. Patten (Oct 1865 Wisconsin – 1942 Moore, Fergus, Montana) when he was 23 and she was 19.  Nettie’s parents were from Maine.

In the 1900 census son Robert was a tenant farmer in Spanish Creek, Gallatin, Montana. The family employed a servant Roy Kimbal (age 24.)  Spanish Creek is south of Bozeman on US 191 on the road to the west entrance of Yellowstone.  The Greek Creek to Spanish Creek section of Gallatin River in Gallatin County is 13 miles long and it is classified as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater.

In the 1910 census Robert and his family was living in Lower Rock School District, Fergus, Montana and working as a grain farmer. Hired man George Rohrback (age 24) was living with the family.

In the 1920 and  the 1930 census, Robert and Nettie were  living in  Moore, Fergus, Montana about 10 miles southwest of Lewistown had a population of 186  in the 2000 census. They had Onie D Walker (age 21) as a hired hand in 1920 and James V Ferrin (age 20) as a lodger in 1930.

Robert and Nettie died in 1942.

Children of Robert and Nettie:

Raymond was a farmer in Coffee Creek, Fergus, Montana in his 1917 draft registration. Coffee Creek was named for the creek with water a dark, coffee-brown color. In early days this was a favorite stopping place for cowboys riding the open ranges around it. The town itself began as a station of the Milwaukee Road. Two grain elevators and an International Harvester farm machinery store indicate this is now grain, rather than range country. In the 1930 census, Raymond was a farm laborer in Moore, Fergus, Montana with four children.

iii. Ethel J. Shaw (born in Montana Aug 1890 – After 1910 census)

iv. Thomas Herbert Shaw (born 5 Jun 1893 Bozeman, Montana – ) m. 1926 Alice E. [__?__] (1907 Montana – ) Alice’s parents were born in Illinois.

In the 1920 census, Thomas was a stock farmer in School District 69, Fergus, Montana and was married to Amy B. [__?__] (1898 Montana – ) Amy’s parents were born in Kansas.

In the 1930 census, Thomas and Alice were lodgers in Downey, California. Thomas was working as a car salesman and Alice and a lunch room helper. On his 1942 draft registriation, Thomas was living in Sumner, Washington and working for U.S. Engineers in Puyallup, Washington.

Children of Martha and Charles

i. Milton Charles Clapp (27 Mar 1888 Arlington, Wisconsin – 17 Jun 1936 Baker, Oregon); m.  21 Dec 1920 to Elva Leona White (1903 in Baker, Oregon – 1992). Her father was from England and her mother was from Missouri.

In the 1910 census, Milton was working as a quartz miner in Elk City, Idaho, Idaho. In his World War I Draft Registration, Milton was a farm laborer living in Haines, Baker, Oregon. In the 1920 census, Milton was working as a farm laborer and living with his father in Haines, Baker, Oregon. In the 1930 census, Milton was a railroad laborer with three young children in Haines, Baker, Oregon

Milton’s son Eldon (1922-2010) was a Master Sergeant Crew Chief the 9th Bombardment Group, 5th Squadron in World War II. He died in May 2010, according to the Air Force Personnel Center at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas.

OIL LEAK
Eldon C. Clapp, Crew Chief, 5th Squadron What Wright R3350 engine didn’t leak oil, especially those mounted to the firewall of a B-29? The turbo superchargers, two per engine, were a terrific force on the blower case seals, and sealed areas, at 30,000′ plus. Oil leaks were judged by a percentage, lost or used, from the total oil tank capacity. Max effort missions could be counted “in” so long as enough oil remained? Oil tank capacity was approximately 80 gallons. Three to four missions were completed before time was allotted to locate and repair the oil leak. We stripped the engine of all cowling and baffles; and washed the engine with our favorite cleaning fluid. With the engine ready to run, Sgt. Paul Poor was stationed on top of the nacelle just aft of the number l cylinder. The engine was started under way at 5 – 6 hundred RPM. A frantic call to “cut” was heard and the engine stopped. Number one cylinder was moving up and down on the blower case. Hold down studs were all tight and safety wire intact. Push rod housings and hoses were tight. The cylinder was removed with these observations:The piston was hammering the cylinder head stretching the skirt. The flange was peened away allowing up and down motion. The oil from the drilled passages through the piston was blown out at the gap between blower case and cylinder flange. Numbers stamped on the cylinder assembly indicated to Parts Supply that the cylinder was applicable to a R1830 9 cylinder engine, not a R3350 Wright 18 cylinder engine! The cylinders were almost the same measurement, with this exception – the cylinder barrel was some thousands short for the R3350 engine master rod. It is believed that this wrong size cylinder had held together from its installation in a new B-29 in the states! After working all night, the aircraft was ready for the mission scheduled in the AM. The mechanics involved were B.C. Christopherson, Paul Poor, and Keith Lewis

3. Will Shaw

In 1896 Will married Bessie R. DeCoursey (Apr 1878 Otter Tail, Minnesota – Seattle, WA) Her parents were Peter Henry DeCoursey (1851 Wisconsin – c. 1928 in Seattle, WA) and Isabel Johnson (May 1855 Minnesota – Seattle.)

Like his siblings, Will also went to Montana State College and became one of Montana’s most brilliant young chemists. In the 1900 census, Will was living with his father-in-law in Seattle Ward 8, King, Washington and was working as a chemist.   Later, he became an alcoholic  and disappeared, leaving a greatly loved wife, Betty.  When my grandmother was a girl [c. 1910], he returned, completely reformed, and found his wife remarried. However, looking at Will’s occupations in 1920 and 1930, I’m not sure how reformed he really was.

In 1905 Bessie married Lawrence L. Christiansen (c. 1859 – Wisconsin – ). Lawrence was 20 years older than Bessie and in fact just a year younger than her mother. Lawrence’s parents were from Denmark and from the 1892 Washington State census, he appears to have been married before and working as a teamster. In the 1910 census, Lawrence was living with Bessie’s parents in Seattle, Washington and working as a railway motorman. His father-in-law was working as a building contractor. Lawrence was also working as a motorman in 1920.

In the 1920 census, William was a lodger and working as a theatre watchman in Seattle. In the 1930 census, Will was 62 years old and working as an office building watchman in Seattle. His rent was $67 a month. Sadly, he shows his marital status as married.

6. Sadie Shaw

 In the 1910 census, Sadie D Shaw age 32 (1878) was living in Oakland Ward 2, California as a single lodger in the household of John T Wilt.  She was working as a stenographer in a wooden ware store.

Patient 1920 census Rochester State Hospital, Olmsted County, Minnesota.  The institution opened as the Second Minnesota Hospital for the Insane in 1879. Early photographs of the Kirkbride show a short central tower, while more recent images show a rather tall one. This is strange considering the usual convention was to strip Kirkbrides of ornamental features over their lifespan. The Kirkbride building was demolished in 1964 to make room for new construction. The state hospital continued life at the same location until 1982, when it closed.
