Biography
Peter was born in 1786 to John Shaver & Margaret Hone
After the end of hostilities, about 1793, Wilhem Schaeffer’s son, John (1739-1796) who had fought with the Royal Yorkers, came to Niagara Falls in Canada. The family anglicized the name from Shaeffer to Shaver. His son, William (1771- 1830), married Mary Catherine Book (1776- 1845). They had thirteen children. Their sons, John and George, purchased land in Etobicoke in 1820 and 1824. In 1830, their eighth son, Peter (1809-1890), purchased nearby land which became known as Applewood. Two years later, he married Esther Vansickle (1813-1870) whose ancestors had come from the Netherlands.
