NC to VA to IN to OK to TX Shaver
I am looking for a great great uncle Thomas Lee Shaver, (b.1858) in Irdell Co., NC, left NC-seems to have been md. in Allegeny Co., NC, left because he said he was "one step ahead of the law" maybe because of the sheriff?, visited his brother Joseph S. Shaver in Grayson Co., VA, continued on to IN, md. wife died, left a young Shaver son with her relatives, he died young-age unknown, Lee continued on to NE, OK-maybe md. there again(?), continued on to TX, maybe with or without this wife(?), finally settled in San Antino area or Houston, TX area.
These TX relatives used to visit us in VA in the late 60's &70's & 80's. Most of those folks are dead now with the exception of one, Mary Frances Stepchinski, widow of J. E. "Jack" Stepchinski of Austin - LaGrange, TX.
I need information on this TX family of mine, and any knowledge of LEE SHAVER that leads us backwards on this trail to NC. His mother was Elivra Shaver(b.1834)(d.aft.1865) - she md. a William Piles, age 78, on 1-17-1865 in Iredell Co., NC.
I believe her father was a Joseph Shaver and her mother was a Mary or Nanny (__?__) Shaver of NC.
Thomas Lee Shaver had sibling of: Joseph S.(ilvanna) Shaver, Asbury Shaver, Milton(Melton) Shaver who may have ended up using the last name of Piles-Pyles in NC, Elizabeth "Betty" Shaver who md. a Steele in NC!
Elirva's siblings may be: Leliva-Lelina-Delina, Laura, William L., Nanny-Nady, Nancy, Tammy C. or G. Abner or Asher W. or M., and Milton-Melton, all of NC
Some of this family may have stayed in Iredell Co., NC, some moved to Winston-Salem and High Point, NC, in addition to my great-grandfather who moved to Grayson Co., VA and md. a Nannie Hash of Bridle Creek, owned a large farm and begat me down the road!!!
After tracking my father's family for 15 yrs. and doing a book, I'm going to try to track my mom's family. Any help in this area will be greatly appreciated!
