Sorry I'm late ,my husband had surgery.I looked thru everything and I only found the marriage license for Mary J and Frank Shaver I got that when I was at the Vernon Parish courthouse signed at the bottom by John Shaver . also I had the census you mentioned of Frank and Mary.also found the notes I took when I spoke with George Shaver I think I called him some time ago he was in Anacoca in Vernon Parish.He said he was 71 at that time ,that his dad was George also and grfather was John Shaver he said his dad and mom were divorced and he was raised in N.M. and never knew any Shaver relatives his dad remarried and had 5 more children and changed their names to Shafer or Shafer.I told him that as far as I knew his John was from Mississippi and that I didn't think there was a connection I had found a sister to Frank and George I know she was Elba Shaver that she married Joseph V. Milsted in Acadia Parish La and she and Joseph are buried in St.Louis Cemetary in St Landry Parish La but I can,t find the census my memory said I did have.I have a marriage for Frank Shaver and Ms Alma Stephens Aug 1 1930 this was my mom's uncle Frank and is signed by her Uncle Joe and her sister Dora Burns.I had to go thru the Newton Co census as the names were unreadable The 1930 Jasper Co census has in Dist 6 PG 13 Riley Shaver and with him his brother Frank their ages are never right.lou Shaver is listed with the Bill Goines family in the Newton Co 1920 census Justice Pre.2 I am not saying that there isn.t a connection somewhere but my Shavers were not from Ms I looked at the census I have online and did not find the John Shaver from Ms if we can find that I know it will give some clues I will be glad to send you copies of anything I have and will continue to look.
