William Shaw & Hannah Peacock arrived in Waddington, NY 1829
(from Liverpool) and met Hannah's Cousin and Brother John PEACOCK
and his wife Elizabeth HOGGARD & William Peacock who moved to
the Waddington-Madrid area in 1823. Hannah & William Peacock
were the children of Thomas Peacock & ???? Moody. William Shaw
was the middle son of John Shaw, whose other two sons were name
John & ?????. Brother John went to Australia, and the unkown
son moved to Canada, while William moved to Waddington with his
wife Hannah. It was said that (our family story)...Thomas was a
stable boy and his wife Miss Moody were disinherited of all of
Miss Moody's fortune because her family was well to do and
disapproved of their union.
I am trying to figure out the Shaw & Peacock hometown in England (or
Scotland?).
If this sound familiar I'd be happy to exchange anything I have with
anyone who may have other.

My ggg-grandfather, John JORDAN born March 9, 1764 (don't know where);
married probably in Orange Co., NY 1785 to Julia SWARTOUT who was born
1769 d/o Jacobus SWARTOUT. Jacobus was living in 1785 in Sugar Loaf,
town of Warwick, Orange Co., NY and assume his 16-year-old daughter,
Julia, was living with him at the time of her wedding. John JORDAN does
NOT appear in the 1790 census of NYS as 1-2-1...as he would having had
two males born to Julia by census time 1790. By 1800, John/Julia and
family residing in Cherry Valley, Otsego Co., NY beside her father,
Jacobus, and her brother, Moses...She died between 1807 and 1810. An
unnamed male child born to her in 1807 and she does not appear in the
1810 census with John. John continued to reside in Cherry Valley until
about 1848 when he it was thought he joined three of his sons in the town
of Wirt, Allegany Co., NY but having recently found his will probate in
Cooperstown, county seat, Otsego Co., learned he died town of Pike,
Wyoming County, NY which is where one of his three daughters had
settled. He died 1/26/1850 and is buried on lot of my gg-grandfather,
Jacob JORDAN, in Mount Hope Cemetery, Friendship, Allegany Co., NY (town
in which I was born and brought up) Issue of this marriage:
MICHAEL who stated in 1855 census for Steuben Co., NY that he had been
born in Orange Co., NY. WILLIAM who settled Steuben Co. JESSE who
settled Steuben Co. All of these three died in Steuben County, NY.
BETSEY - married Sebastion WELLER and lived in Canajoharie, Montgomery
Co, NY ISAIAH - migrated from Otsego to Steuben Co. as young lad with
his brother, Michael and lived with Michael until he married Polly
Dakin, d/o Elisha...so after marriage, Elisha Dakin and Isaiah with
bride migrated to town of Wirt, Allegany Co., NY and bought virgin land
there. JOHN and JAMES both settled in early 1820's in Cuba, Allegany
Co., NY. JULIA MARGARET - married Charles Phelps and settled Pike,
Wyoming Co., NY ANDREW - migrated from Otsego Co. to Allegany Co. buying
land adjacent to his brother, Isaiah in town of Wirt. JACOB - my gg-
grandfather also migrated from Otsego Co. to Allegany Co. buying land
adjacent to that of Isaiah. SALLY - married John Dygert and lived
Canajoharie, Montgomery Co, NY UNNAMED SON - probably died at birth...
Tradition among family members is that the JORDAN clan came from Ireland,
but I've no proof one way or another. I've analyzed ALL Jordans who
lived in Orange County, NY before, during and after Revolution and find
no connection with my John JORDAN. Julia, wife of John, had two
brothers, Aaron and Moses SWARTOUT who married at the Presbyterian
Church, Goshen, Orange Co., NY but no record of John Jordan or Julia
Swartout being baptized, married or ever attending this church. I've
pretty much ruled out the possibility of my John JORDAN being a YORDON
(Palatine family who came to Mohawk Valley between 1709-1711).... I've
not ruled out possibility that my John JORDAN may have been product of a
JORDAN family who were Tories and fled to Canada...he returning after the
Revolution. There was such a family in Westchester Co., NY -- John
JORDAN born Scotland in 1729 descendants....but my John not part of this
family. _j
