Dear Linda:
In reply:
Elijah Shaver b. 1831, Matilda Township, Dundas, County Ontario.He married Julia Collison, daughter of Peter Collision. She was born circa 1834.
Known Children:
Edward H.Shaver b. 1855
William E. Shaver b.1857
John E. Shaver, b. abt. 1858
Mary Shaver, b. abt. 1860.
My book "The Loyal Americans" Shaver Emigrants to Canada by Herman Witthoft, does not follow the family after this generation.
The book traces the Shavers of Dundas Co. back to their roots in Germany and to their life in the Mohawk Valley prior to the Revolution.It then chronicles several Shaver families in Canada as many came as Loyalist soldiers/settlers.
In fact, if you think this is your line (it's my line), please get in touch.The Loyalist ancestor was Nicholas Shaver who was a sergeant in Butler's Rangers.
