Jacob Shaver b. abt 1853 in Canada, the first husband of my great grandmother, Inez Mabel Hornby b abt 1858 Wisconsin had one child William Shaver b. Jan 1880. In 1880, this family was living in Spiritwood, Stutsman County, ND - Dakota Territory actually. Nov 2, 1886 Inez married my great grandfather, Gordon James Ecker in Fargo, ND. So - between 1880 and 1886, Jacob Shaver either died, was divorced, or otherwise disappeared. I have not found death, divorce, marriage, or cemetery docs. Every search has come up futile. I tried contacting a couple William Shaver people in northern Calif, as I remember my parents visiting an Uncle Bill who per Mom "was not related". William Shaver, my Grandmother's half brother, seems to have changed names to Harry Ecker, same age and birth month in subsequent census docs where Inez is the mother of 4 and Harry is with the Ecker family.
