In the Wesley Methodist Church baptismal records for Innisfil, Jospeh and
Eliza Shaw have a daughter named Matilda born 08 Jan 1844 and baptized 07 Apr
1844.
John and Ellen Shaw have a son David born 02 Mar 1847 and baptized 03 Oct 1847
and another son, John, born 04 aug 1844 and baptized 23 Sep 1844. These
records are on reel # 1, pg 394-395.
It seems fairly certain that Joseph and John Shaw are brothers.
