== Biography ==
{{PGM Minor Child}} John Shaw Jr. was born about 1622 in England; there's no evidence of his mother's identity and it's unlikely it was his father's wife Alice (birth surname unknown) who died at Plymouth in March of 1654/5.[Shaw, Jonathan A. "John Shaw of Plymouth Colony, Purchaser and Canal Builder." New England Genealogical and Historical Register, Volume 151. July 1977. ''By Subscription'' (Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2001-2018.) [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB202/i/11639/261/0 Page 261.] ] The means and date of his arrival in the Plymouth Colony are unknown.
During the less than ten years he was known to be in Plymouth, John Jr. accumulated a lengthy list of transactions in Colony records, some of which include:* 05 May 1643 John and brother-in-law Stephen Bryant bought land from Edward Doty.[Shaw, 1977. [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB202/i/11639/271/0 Page 271.]]* Aug 1643 John Jr. was included on the Plymouth list of "Males that are able to beare Armes."[Shurtleff, Nathaniel B. Records of the Colony of New Plymouth of New England. Miscellaneous Records 1633-1689. Boston, MA: Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 1857. [https://archive.org/stream/recordsofcolonyo0708newp#page/n199/mode/2up/search/Shaw Page 187.]]* 08 Oct 1645 John Shaw and five others were set out against the Narragansetts; although the record is not explicit as to whether it was senior or junior, the other men's ages suggest it was junior.[* 06 Jun 1649 he was sentenced to sit in the stocks for "profaining the Lords day by atending on the tar pits."][Shurtleff, Nathaniel B. Records of the Colony of New Plymouth of New England, Court Orders Vol. I 1633-1640. Boston, MA: Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 1855. [https://archive.org/stream/recordsofcolonyo0102newp#page/140/mode/2up/search/shaw Page 140.]]* 07 May 1650 John and James were convicted of damage and ordered to pay Edward Doty 35 shillngs.[Shurtleff, 1855. [https://archive.org/stream/recordsofcolonyo0102newp#page/148/mode/2up/search/shaw Page 149.]]* 07 Oct 1651 John and James (and others) were fined 30 shillings for "vaine, light, and lacivious carriage, at an unseasonable time of the night."[ Shurtleff, 1855. [https://archive.org/stream/recordsofcolonyo0102newp#page/172/mode/2up/search/shaw Page 172.]]
There is no indication that John ever faced the punishment ordered in October of 1651. In July of that year he sold his only property and disappeared from the records.[Shaw, 1997. [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB202/i/11639/272/0 Page 272.]] John Sr., James, and Jonathan are listed as freeman in 1654, but John Jr. is missing from the list.[Shurtleff, 1857. [https://archive.org/stream/recordsofcolonyo0708newp#page/n209/mode/2up/search/Shaw Page 197.]] John senior seems to have hoped for junior's return by including him as a potential beneficiary of a land distribution he signed in 1658.[Bowman, 1908. [https://books.google.com/books?id=BQLosquR29AC&pg=PA34&dq=Mayflower+Descendant+1908+James+Shaw&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQo4Hixt_rAhWCU80KHS_gCdUQ6AEwAHoECAUQAg#v=onepage&q=Mayflower%20Descendant%201908%20James%20Shaw&f=false Page 34.]]
No information has yet been found to resolve what became of John Shaw Jr. after July of 1651.
