One of my hobbies is to look in indexes of other family histories. This has proved very beneficial to me over the years. Recently I checked out a book at local library on the Watford Family, 1,000 pages. Starts with family in Darlington Co, SC and shows how and why people left that area and came to AL, FL, and GA. Shows old roads, etc. It appears that almost everyone in this area is descended from that family. The local was Joseph Watford, a Rev War vet who came to SE Alabama and settled on Big Creek, vic NW Fla line. In the index is a number of Shiver names, including this area as well as GA and one family from Tuscaloosa AL. This area in SE Ala was first Dale County, then Henry and at the start of this century, split off into Houston. During the next two or three days I will put on this site (with MaryK's permission), data on those Shivers. One that I remember was Gaston, who I believed lived in Graceville, FL area and Gaston, Jr. One that I recall was the marriage of America Shiver, dau of Jeff D Shiver. Hoping that this data will fill in some gaps for some of the Shiver researchers. Will try to start tonight.
