The Shaw family arrived in New York on 6 July 1866 via the ship Arkwright.  The ship manifest shows his name as "Charles Shaw."

Although only Jane is listed on the overland company records, as head of household, the notation that she purchased 2 1/2 adult food rations indicates that the rest of the family was with her for this part of the journey as well.

His birth date is confirmed by the photograph of the Moir Bible which appears on the "Memories" page of his FamilySearch record.  [See https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/memories/KL62-145]
