He married Elizabeth (unknown) b. 1800 in Chester Co., PA. I know they were married in 1817, possibly also in Chester Co. and then moved to Ohio where following children were born: John SHAVER b. 1819 Ohio; Julia SHAVER b. 1825 Ohio, William SHAVER b. 1827 Ohio, Francis Marion SHAVER b. 1829 in Ohio, Adam SHAVER b. 1834 Ohio, Temperance SHAVER b. 1838 Iowa, Elzina & George Washington SHAVER (twins) b. 1841 in Iowa and then to Iowa before 1838. I have quite a bit of info on William's descendants. When William moved his family to Iowa, his nephew, Jacob SHAVER and his wife Louisa, and children followed by 1842.: Isaac SHAVER b. abt 1831 Ohio, Lovina b. abt 1833 Ohio, Mary b. abt 1840 in Ohio, Peter b. abt 1841-2 Ohio, Martha b. abt 1844 Iowa, & Milton b. abt 1848 in Iowa. Living with them was a little boy b. abt 1846 Indiana Charles HIGGINS.
