Excerpt from Nicholas Shaver Family by John Koning[edit]
Like that of his Nicholas Shaver, Jr. (Phoebe's father), the history of Casper Booher (Phoebe's husband) and his family is a mystery before the mid-1780's. Casper was a witness on the indenture agreement when Nicholas bought his land in Shirley Twp. in 1785, and he also shows up on the Shirley Twp. tax lists starting in 1784. No earlier confirmed records for Casper have been found to this point. The family bible shows that Casper and Phoebe were married in 1778, but there is no indication where the marriage took place.
