Well it depends on what family members you are looking for, but i think i have the whole family tree...

  • Daniel shays parents were Patrick Shea and Margaret Dempsy both immigrants from Ireland
  • Daniel Shays had two brothers, James and Roger, and three sisters; Phebe, Polly, and Margaret.
  • Daniel Shays married three times (i think) - first wife: Eunice Hayden - second wife: Abigail Gilbert (daughter of Abigail Olds and Johnathon Gilbert) - third wife: Rhoda Coller (widow of Darling Havens)
  • Daniel Shays had eight children with Abigail Gilbert - Daniel Shays Jr. Born: January 31, 1773 and married Ruth Patterson - Lucy Shays Born: 1774 Died: July 20th 1853 and married Bezaleel Whitney (1774-?) and also married John Hodge (1772-1857) - Hannah Margaret Shays who married Seth Foster - Gilbert Shays Born: 1780 Died: 1854 and married Elizabeth Humphry (1789-1872) - Susan Shays who married William Woodworth and Jonathaon Weston - Hiram Shays Born: 1780 Died: ? and married Lucinda Stanton - Richard Shays Born: 1794 Died: 1861 and married Elizabeth Roberts - Ruth Ann Shays Born: 1796 Died: ? and married Elisha Lyon Smith If you need any more information, like those eight children's children or their children's' children's children, just post another question or go to a library and ask for The Family of Daniel Shays: From Decedents of Daniel Shays by Elmer S. Smail, who is a decedent. The book is actually very very helpful and gives a small biography of each person in Daniel's family, leading up to the 1930-1950's. I hope i answered you question!
