I've heard this as well with regard to my family. I'm a descendent of Tom Chavis from Cameron, SC (Calhoun County). Although, I've heard about the Cuban ancestry, I'm not so certain that they were Cuban but rather Beaver Creek Indian. My research shows that the Chavis surname is very prominent in the Beaver Creek Tribe that originated in the Orangeburg-Calhoun, SC area and that they were a multi-racial tribe (European and African-American). More research and info to come...

I have heard the same thing in regards to my family. That would explain the Chavez? I know that I am related to the Shivers and Chavez and that the Chavis name was pronounced Shavis.

Hi,
I am an African-American descendent of Tom and Martha Haigler-
Chavis (my g-grparents)from Orangeburg-Calhoun County, SC. My grandmother, Mary Alice Chavis-Hickson is the only living child of Tom and Martha and still lives in Orangeburg. 2 years ago, we had our first Chavis family reunion. The reunion was small because we are unsure of where all of our relatives are. As part of the reunion, we did a homestead tour during which my grandmother took us to the place in Calhoun County, SC where she lived and was raised as a child. It is my understanding that my g-grandfather Tom Chavis could pass for a white man and that he was a very shrewd business man and owned a lot of land in Orangeburg County. Because of the dialect his name was pronounced Shavis, but spelled Chavis. From this pronunciation was derived Shivers and Chavez of whom I am also related, but not sure how.
