William Carver was born about 1810 in Person Co. NC. He moved to
Pickens Co. AL by 1830 and then to Choctaw Co. MS by 1835/40. He died
in Choctaw Co. around 1854. He was married twice, the first time in
Pickens Co. AL. The children of his first marriage were:
1) Mattie Carver, b. 1832, Pickens Co AL. m. Bill Shewmake.
2) James G. Carver, b. 1834, Pickens Co. AL.
3) George W. Carver, b. 1836, Pickens Co. AL.
4) William Martin Carver, b. April 14, 1839, Choctaw Co. MS, d.
December 11, 1911, Alva, MS. m. Lucy Calaway on January 3, 1861 (my
line).
5) Laura Carver, b. 1842, Choctaw Co. MS.
6) Marion Carver, b. 1844, Choctaw Co. MS.
His first wife died between 1844 and 1847 when he married Mary Agnes
Shumake. Does anyone know the maiden name of the first wife of William
Carver and where she was buried? She was probably from Pickens Co. AL.
Children of the second marriage:
1) Jesse Andrew Carver, b. December 25, 1848, Choctaw Co. MS. d.
December 26, 1915, m. Mary Margaret (Maggie) Hammonds.
2) Lydia Jeanette Carver, b. 1852, Choctaw Co. MS, d. 1935, m. William
C. Johnson.
Does anyone know when William Carver died and where he is buried? He
is probably buried in Choctaw Co. MS. Would like to correspond with any
descendants of William Carver. Will be glad to share any family
information tha I have. Charlotte G. Boykin
