While I was growing up, we had neighbors named Shaw, but I had no idea then that I had a Grandma Shaw. She was born in that southeastern corner of New Hampshire, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Partridge Shaw. Her father and two grandfathers had been born in England. When Elizabeth was 18, she married Aaron Sleeper, also born in New Hampshire, and his father also had come over from England.
Elizabeth lived through hard times between the natives and the British government. She and Aaron had seventeen children, including a couple of sets of twins. She died at age 44, perhaps of childbirth as her last child was born in 1708, leaving behind many young children.
