OK, so the subject line is a teaser
For a little project I'm working on I need the life dates for a few
(apparently) unheralded 19th century Americans. Here is what I know--

Farley, George L.--known for his work in agriculture (maybe just a
     farmer) probably in New England, possibly in Maine
Shaw, B. (possibly Benjamin) F.--Oregon pioneer and Indian agent
Thomas, Joshua--clergyman in Maryland, participated in War of 1812

I have already checked all the biographical dictionaries and the like
available to me. Any help, either direct or to a source I can access here
in San Antonio, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
