I am trying to find out exactly WHERE my Shaw relatives lived in Christian County, possibly 10 miles NE of Hopkinsville. I have information that William Shaw settled in early 1800s in the Fairview neighborhood of Christian County near the West Fork (Little River) and built a horse mill. Descendant George Shaw lived on the homestead in 1881. One of his descendants, Thomas H. Shaw lived in the Mt. Vernon area when he had a Perrin's Biographical sketch done in 1884. I also have a list of relatives buried in the "Shaw Cemetery" but have no idea where it is located. Can you pass on maps or where I would find out specifically in Christian County my relatives lived and are buried? Also, how can I get a copy of the Perrin's biographical sketch from 1884? Thank you in advance for your help! Jayhawk
