No mention of Thomas Shaw is made in the diary, but that is not surprising, since Thomas would be a child of 8 at the time the diary was written. The following are mentioned:

Eliza Shaw
Cousin Mary E. Mitchel
Cousin Caroline Bayles

"went to Woods with Alex E. and met Billy M." [this occurred in Cincinnati
"George and I went to Woods and enjoyed Jo Murphy's amusing deliniations"

I think that "Woods" must be a theatre.

F.F.Shaw
Mentions a sister, Amanda
Cousin Julia
Niece Laura Jenkins
Mentions his mother who has a friend named Mr. Bennington.

According to the census records of that time there were
other Shaws living in Ripley during the same time. They were F.F. Shaw, Franklin G. Shaw, Chancy Shaw, Ella Shaw, Peter Shaw, Mary Shaw, Chambers Shaw, C. P. Shaw, W. M. Shaw, and Salem Shaw.
