Danl. son Jacob m. Detrick, Carr, Norton
The following article on descendants of Daniel Shawver, b. Dec. 23, 1781 (or 1780 according to a new theory of mine) was compiled by my great-grandfather, John Laney Shawver, probably from material provided family members. I scanned it from his genealogical magazine, THE AMERICAN REGISTER, which he edited from 1926-1929 mainly for the purpose of collecting genealogical information on his ancestors and related families, though the magazines do contain other articles of a historical nature. The material on Daniel’s descendants was later collected in a booklet entitled “Genealogy of the Daniel Shawver Family” published by the Shawver Publishing Co., Morrison, Illinois, 1927. Because it is compiled information, there may be errors. I would welcome any corrections. Also, because some of the material was hard to read in the scanned format, I have taken the liberty of reformatting material which didn’t scan well (adding tabs, etc.) after checking both sources, so that it will be easier to follow. I hope that the material will be of help to those descendants who have not had access to this material.-Carol Rand
CHAPTER VI: Jacob
[Note by Carol Rand: Jacob was married twice, first to Sarah Detrick and 2nd to Mary Carr, 3rd to Emily Norton. The formatting in this chapter was a little different, so I have numbered the children of Samuel and Rosena, to make it easier to read.I have also added a page break between each marriage]
