THE SHRIVER FAMILY in the book " THE TENMILE COUNTRY AND IT'S PIONEER FAMILIES." The Shriver Family of Greene County may all have descended from ADAM SHRIVER, who went from Frederick County, Maryland. to settle in Frederick County, Virginia, where he was living in 1782, at the head of a family of eleven white persons. While living in Frederick County, Virginia, he is known to have supplied 418 pounds of fine flour at 60 pounds per hundredweight to Richard Eastin for the use of the Colonial Army. (Public Claim No. 86 Frederick County, Virginia.) After the Revolution ADAM SHRIVER moved to Dunkard Creek, and was taxed in Greene Township, Washington County, in 1784, as a foreign resident. On March 10, 1803, he sold 180 acres of land on Dunkard Creek to his son ABRAHAM, in a deed in which he is joined by wife, CHRISTINA. (Monongalia County DB. 30 pp.4) His wife may have been a STROSNIDER. ADAM SHRIVER is thought to have been born about 1736. He died is buried near Pentress (West) Virginia, where markers now are un=readable. A family record supplies the names of five children, to which we have added a sixth because of certain evidence that seems to confirm this and warrant inclusion. A seventh child may have been a HENRY SHRIVER of early record, but certainly GEORGE SHRIVER, who is taxed as living outside Greene Township in 1784, along with ADAM SHRIVER, was a close connection. (There should be more information on this topic, but I didn't copy it when I had the book on loan from the library) What else I do have is: (1) Children of: GEORGE and CHRISTINA (Shriver) LEMLEY (2) Children of: ADAM and MARTHA (Stephens) SHRIVER (3) Children of: MARK and SUSANNAH (Shriver) GORDON (4) Children of: BASIL and SARAH (Shriver) WHITE (5) Children of: ISAAC and JANE (Shriver) WHITE (6) Children of: JACOB and ELIZABETH (Inghram) SHRIVER (7) Children of: HENRY and RACHEL (White) SHRIVER (8) Children of: JOHN and ELEANOR (Maple) SHRIVER (9) Children of: REV.
