Peter Theodore Shaw

1770 - 1829


Biography

  1. Will of Peter Theodore Shaw of Brimpton Berkshire proved 29/11/1829. Under the will Peter Theodore Shaw made his property in Antigua liable to meet any shortfall in annuities of £500 p.a. to his wife and £300 p.a. to his younger children: the will also showed him as the tenant-for-life of an unnamed estate (almost certainly Spooners) on St Kitts. In the will, Peter Theodore Shaw refers to 'our common benefactor', Charles Spooner (q.v.), who was his uncle.
