    3. This is yet another one of the "Cabbage Patch" boys! For those like me who are related to the Acey Shiver line.. this may be of some interest. I have seen and heard that Acey Sr. may have come from Kentucky and some researches believe that he was a son of Jacob. The question of course is which one and why would he come from Kentucky! I think this Lowdown County Va. is present day Kentucky from what others have told me. If so, this could give us a hole new area to research. Anyway, I can't seem to match this one up either. BTW, I will also be sending a transcription for a David Shiver land deed dated in the late 1700's which from the date would leave one to believe that maybe John Shiver did have a brother(s). This information was also compiled by Mrs. Grace Garrett McIntyre, 21 April 1968 from data in the United States Dept. of History & Archives, Washington D.C.
