My ancestor is Jeremiah Alpheus, 45th U.S.C.Inf., West Virginia. Jeremiah is the brother of my GG Grandmother Mary (Alpheus) Davison. Mary, Jeremiah, Martha and Allison were slaves of William Shaver of Marion County, Virginia. There is a brother named Henry who also may have served in the Civil War. George Alpheus, a Black laborer of William Shaver is more than likely the father of Mary and her brothers and sisters. While there is an older woman listed in the slaves of William Shaver and her age might make her the mother of Mary and siblings, no name has yet to be found for her. I am hoping to find other relatives of this Alpheus family.
