    1. [SHIVER] Estate of Ransom Shiver
    2. Found this in Shiver papers in Albany Library in 1995. Didn't copy everything down as it was like a kid in candy store. However, here is drift of data: Ransom Shiver Estate Index Fileon Said Estate Dougherty Co, GA Office of the Ordinary Oct 54 Warren Shiver was Administrator and overseer. Named as a minor was Green Shiver. It appears that estate was pretty well off. Includes receipts for tuition payment to Michael J. Horn for Manning, Henry, Anthony, Green, Jackson. Named a son-in-law, William H. Slappey (Slappey Drive in Albany ???). He grew cotton, tobacco, corn and hogs. Also had receipts for purchase of shoes for the children and for such things as coffee or whatever wasn't produced on the farm. Interesting as to why it was in that county? Does anyone have the full data on this? I'm afraid that by now some of the papers in those file drawers may have "disappeared," as often is the case.
