Seeking information on Dorcus Shiver, supposedly the daughter of Jacob Shiver Jr. and Sarah Ann Swilley. My information states that Dorcus, and her sisters Gilley and Mary, were married in Greene County, Alabama in the 1830's. Gilley married William Thomas Prestwood, Mary married Chapman L. Motley, and Dorcus is suppose to have married John McIntosh. I spent yesterday at the Greene County courthouse in Eutaw, Alabama, and found the marriage records for Gilley and Mary but not Dorcus. There were no records for a John McIntosh, in Greene County. Can anyone verify/ refute/ expand as to the existence of Dorcus Shiver? Since Jacob Shiver was married to Dorcus "last name unknown", it seems reasonable that Jacob Jr. would name one of his daughters after his mother. An interesting thing happened on my way home from Greene County yesterday. I was driving south on US Highway 43, and stopped at a rest stop in Washington County. This rest area is very close to the Tombigbee River, and there was a historic marker there listing early settlers of the area. One of the names was Captain John McIntosh. And further south, I passed through a small town named McIntosh, named after it's founder. Needless-to-say, I'm going to research this further, and would greatly appreciate any information on John McIntosh. Bill Cassady
