      LAND GRANT RECORDS:

      In recent research, I found a Northern Neck land grant for Jacob Shiverdeker in Frederick County, Virginia for May 13, 1771. I noticed in the online THE KANAWHA FAMILY TREE PROJECT OCTOBER 07, 2004, Jacob as named as the father of the Michael Shiverdecker who was born in about 1762 in Frederick County, VA. Since not many Shiverdeckers are found in early records, this may be the right Jacob Shiverdecker.

      Below are records of land grants issued by the Virginia Land Office (from Archives in Virginia):

      On May 13, 1771, Jacob Shiverdeker (grantee) in Frederick County, Northern Neck Grants--120 3/4 acres.

      On August 30, 1830, Michael Shiverdecker (grantee) is in Kanawha County land grant records--70 acres.

      On November 30, 1838, Luke Shiverdecker (grantee) is in Kanawha County land grant records--304 acres.

      On August 2, 1852, Luke Shiverdecker (grantee) is in Kanawha County land grant records--175 acres.
