Charles,
I have a letter written in 1858 by William and Kezia (Ross) Shawver when they had just arrived in Indianola, IA to settle.This was Jotheil Ortherial Shawver's mother and father.The letter was written to another branch of the family in Texas.The letter actually lists his name as Othaniel and his wife's name is written Menurva.Note the different spellings in a letter written by his father.I've seen your spellings many places on the web, but I tend to believe the letter more for obvious reasons and I think it might help anyone researching his family.Also just a note, Othaniel and his uncle George, William's brother were both already in Iowa as of 1858 if anyone needed to know.
