Nicholas Shiver was born abt. 1813 probably in the Camden District in South Carolina. He was the son of John Jackson Shiver and Sara Ann SWILLEY.
Nicholas appears to have been married twice (this is based solely on his wife's age in the census and the ages of his first two children, however, and may be incorrect). His first wife's name is unknown to me at this time. He was probably married to her about 1832. The known children of this couple, both born in Alabama, are:
- Elizabeth Shiver, b. abt. 1834.
- John Jackson Shiver, b. abt. 1837.
Nicholas' second wife was Frances ????. They were married about 1840, probably in Alabama. The known children of this couple, all born in Alabama, are:
- Mary, b. abt. 1842.
- Susan, b. abt. 1851.
- Martha, b. abt. 1851.
