11. | Margaret J. Elder was born on 7 Mar 1830 in Ballyportery, Antrim County, Ireland (daughter of Robert Elder and Margaret ??); died on 6 Aug 1884 in Fairfield County, South Carolina. Notes:
In "Through The Years In Old Winnsboro" by Katherine Theus Obear (R.L.
Bryan Co. 1940), there is a reference on pages 101-102 to Mrs. Margaret
J. Shaw and her brother Frank Elder owning a store in Winnsboro in 1870.
From this, I infer Mrs. Shaw's maiden name was Elder.
Mrs. Shaw's obituary in the News & Herald of 13 August, 1884:
DEATH OF MRS. SHAW- Mrs. Margaret J. Shaw, widow of the late Robert M.
Shaw, died in this place at an early hour on Wednesday morning. She had
been in weak health for some months, suffering from disease of the heart,
and for several weeks past it was known that her condition was hopeless.
Mrs. Shaw was a most estimable lady, and had here a large circle of
friends, who will deeply lament her death. She was in the fifty-fifth
year of her age, and left two daughters- Mrs. R.M. Huey and Mrs. T. H.
Ketchin. The funeral services were held in the Associate Reformed Church
on Wednesday evening at six o'clock.Mrs. Shaw's obituary in the News &
