Personal
 Abraham and Martha probably arrived in Wilkinson County, Georgia, by 1807. Abraham purchased land in the newly created Laurens County, and later in Pulaski County, where he was living by 1830. Martha preceded him in death as she wasn't mentioned in the will written in May 1843; Abraham died 30 Jan 1844 in Pulaski County, Georgia.

Drexel Shiver's "The Family of John and Hannah Shiver of Cravan County South Carolina, in Georgia, Florida and Alabama", written in 1996, is a thoroughly-researched and documented history of Shivers in North America.
