Re: Shavers of AR, TN, LA, NC, MO, TX, VA, & Germany

You have probably already seen it, but there was a book "The Ancestry and Descendants of John Shaver (1745-1835)", by W. Cary Anderson, published about 1983. It covers the families that you mentioned in your posting.I am a 3rd-great-grandson of John Shaver's son Jacob Blackwelder Shaver (1792-1884). I contributed my research on that branch of the family to Cary's book, as well as did all the indexing.
