My great-grandfather collected info from the VA Shawvers that he published in 1928. His info came from the Rev. L. D. Shawver, James C., and Iva Lou Shawver Osborn.
The info lists John Shawver who married Peggy Sarver as the son of Christopher of Tazewell, who "was quite old when he died" and had 10 children.
This Christopher was said to have been the son of Boston Sr. by Mary McClung and grandson of George.
[This George married Mary Gillaspie. Thus his great-grandfather would have been the immigrant Sebastian.]
Because this info was compiled and lacks documentation, don't depend on it, but it might lead you to where you can find documentation.
