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. William SHAW and Hannah moved to Poe City in Medina County in 1833 and had a total of 9 children. 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.
