Person:John Shotwell (7)

Source doc, pg 17: "John Shotwell's will, dated Dec. 5, 1776, named his son John Smith Shotwell, and then his children (by Grace Webster) Hugh, Jacob, William Isaiah, James, Martha Shotwell, Susannah Townsend, Mary Stevens and Sarah Smith." Note that there is no comma after William's name. Middle names were not commonly used before the Revolution, so I am assuming William Isaiah are two sons, not one son with a middle name. Verification needed.
