BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS- ADAM SHAVER AND MARY CARREL

 Adam Shaver and Mary Carrel were the parents of my ggg grandfather John Stinson Shaver.

Born in New Jersey where a generation of Shavers lived until moving to Ontario.

Adam's father was Frederick Shaver who came with his father in 1765 to America.

I have a book on all the descendants from this line. 

Frederick Shaver- 1747 Germany- Sussex County, New Jersey, 1823 And his descendants by Frederick Howell Shaver- 389-22nd Street S.E. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.It was written in the war period 1939 to 1943.

I will review John's life at another time.

For this post I just want to reflect on a cemetery visit of this couple.

I have pictures and a handwritten note.

June 4/94

I drove around the Pickering/Uxbridge area. It took me awhile to find this cemetery.

Finally I saw a sign. Altona 2km.

Buzzed my mileage and drove.

to visit your g.g.g.grandparents in this tranquil little cemetery was quite moving.

There they were, just waiting. Barb Di Mambro

Covered  with moss. I tried wiping some away. I hope others who visit keep it clean.

                                           

                                       

View across the cemetery.

Genealogy brings many quiet moments of positive reflection.

Sometimes a simple cemetery visit gives good information and a feeling of connection.
