John, b. abt. Daniel, b. abt. James, b. abt. A Researcher's Library of Georgia History, Genealogy, and Records Sources , by Robert Scott Davis, Jr. of Thomasville, Georgia, pg. In another work it is stated that a John Shiver shows up on the pay rolls in 1772-3 and 1774, as well as 1760 and 1762.
Craven County is a now defunct county that covered a good portion of Northeastern South Carolina.
For excellent maps of this area in 1710, as well as the districts that were formed in 1769, please visit the SCGenWeb Project Old Counties page . Then in 1769, when the districts were formed, present-day Kershaw Co. was entirely included in Camden District. Of primary importance to the researcher is the fact that records pre-dating 1785 were all filed in Charleston, irrespective of the residence in these old 'royal' counties. This will be noted in John Shiver's land grants after 1769. John received a royal land grant from King George III in 1773.
