  Robert Shaw of Tordarroch, son of Angus MacBean Shaw of Tordarroch, and Catherine --- He married Agnes Fraser. --- He signed renewal of the Bond of 1609 with other Clan Chattan Chiefs. In 1679 he accompanied The Mackintosh to Keppoch against the MacDonalds. --- He was one of the Commissioners appointed to assist The Mackintosh to pursue Archibald MacDonald, 14th of Keppoch and other MacDonalds of his clan 'with fire and sword' in 1681 --- He was Commissioner of Supply for County Inverness in 1690. --- He died in 1691 --- Children of Robert Shaw of Tordarroch and Agnes Fraser • Alexander Shaw of Tordarroch ( d. 22 Nov 1719) • John Shaw • Donald Shaw • William Shaw • Euffin Shaw • Elspeth Shaw Citations - Burkes Peerage [S37] BP2003 volume 3, page 3587. See link for full details for this source. Hereinafter cited as. [S37] [S37] BP2003. [S37] --- Robert, son of Angus, is the first of his line mentioned by the surname of Shaw, his father being called in the Valuation Eoll and elsewhere " Angus mac Bean," that is "son of Bean." The first mention we find of Bobert is as witness— with Lachlan Mackintosh of Kinrara, brother of the eighteenth chief of Mackintosh and author of the MS. History of the Mackintoshes to a deed of Benunciation, dated 30th November 1669, by Lachlan Mackintosh of Aberarder in favour of Donald and William MacGillivray. As Robert Schaw of Tordarroch he is recorded in Vol. iii. of the Commissary Records of Inverness, under date 19th June 1677, as "faithfully giving up debts resting to deceased John m'Ean vie Alister in Tordarroch." Again, as Robert Shaw portioner of Leys he is named a Commissioner of Supply for the county of Inverness in an Act of Parliament of 7th June 1690 ; and, also as portioner of Leys, his name appears in the Valuation Boll of Inverness-shire in 1691, where his portion is valued at £96 13s. Scots. In this roll, Tordarroch is set down under the Laird of Mackintosh, the superior. Robert died in 1691, leaving three sons
