Shaw (Bushy Park)
In the mid 19th century Sir Robert Shaw held land in the parish of Ballingarry, barony of Slievardagh, county Tipperary. His ancestor William Shaw had come to Ireland with the Williamite army at the end of the 17th century and been granted land in counties Tipperary and Kilkenny. In 1795 Robert Shaw married Maria daughter and sole heiress of Abraham Wilkinson of Bushy Park, county Dublin. He was created a baronet in 1821. His second son Sir Frederick Shaw 3rd Baronet owned 414 acres in county Tipperary and 996 acres in county Dublin in the 1870s. His fifth son Charles Shaw was a barrister and Queen's Counsel. Charles Shaw married Mary daughter of William Barton of Grove, county Tipperary. He may be the Charles Shaw of Dublin whose representatives owned 1,229 acres in county Cork, 59 acres in King's County (Offaly) and 299 acres in county Tipperary in the 1870s. He died in 1870.
