On 10 Oct 1872 he purchased the 240 acre farm of the late Thomas J Gann; other sources vary as to his marriage date with Sarah A Gann but she is listed on the purchase (as Mary A Gann) and therefore was not yet married to Mr. Shaw

Notes:

Married:
On this date he purchased the 240 acre farm of the late Thomas J Gann, his would-be father-in-law. His wife is listed separately on the deed, she being one of the heirs at law of Thomas J Gann; she is listed under her maiden name and therefore they weren't married yet.
