Notes
a. Note:   N1 Parents of William Sarver are not known. They were not Benjamin and Catherine Schaeffer Sarver. Nor is his exact birthdate known, as each census shows a different one for him. See research done by Douglas Stutes and Charles Leisure Sarver. Charles Sarver, Fairmont, WV, is descended from Benjamin Sarver, a different line. “HOW THE SARVER FAMILY CAME TO BE IN LOUISIANA, by Addie Faulk Sarver Pattillo, as told by Andrew Sarver, who in turn was told the story many times by his grandfather, Levi Sarver; his father, Raymond Sarver; and uncles. When William Sarver was 14 years of age, he broke some windows of the school house and being afraid to return to his parent’s home afterwards, he either caught a cattle boat or a wagon train heading for New Orleans, La. William remained in New Orleans until after he and Denise Roland [sic], a French girl from France, were married. After marriage, the young couple left New Orleans to make their home in Washington, La, St. Landry Parish. Here they reared a family of ten children, seven boys and three girls. (Levi is my great grandfather.) “ History reveals that at one time Crowley, LA was known as Bayou Blanc. William Sarver is known to have lived at Bayou Blanc in his later years. His home stood near where the present South Crowley School stands today. His occupation was making saddles and chairs. William’s son Levi, visited his grandmother in Pa. Until he told her about the school window accident, she was not sure this was her grandson. William did not ever return to his parent’s home.” [Ed. Note: Several points need to be clarified: Denise Rolen was not from France; her father and/or grandfather were. The location of home mentioned needs to be researched......1102 South Parkerson Avenue most likely was the home of Wm. Sarver, Jr., instead of Wm. the elder. More likely, William and Denise moved to land in the Ebenezer area. Levi Sarver’s name was Olivier, for which the nickname is Levy; later Anglecized to Levi.] --------- The 1840 Census places him in the birthdate bracket of 1800-1810. 1840 Wm Servier St. Landry Par. LA, p.245 males <5 - 1(George), 5-10 -1 (Martin), 30-40 - 1(Wm) females <5 -1(Emily C), 5-10 -1(Marie), 20-30 - 1(Denise) (Wm Jr was born 1840, after census) The 1850 Census lists him as being born in 1795, but it contains several errors: it lists his birthplace as NY, Denise’s age should be 37 and is listed as 50. [Census-1850:St. Landry Par. LA, p.110.] William 55 Denise 50 Martin 18 Mary 16 George 14 Emelie 12 William 10 Levy 6 Louisa 2 f The 1860 Census, which seems to be accurate in other details, lists him as being 54, which would be 1805/6. [Census-1860:St. Landry Par. LA, p.712.] William 54 Denise 40 Emelie 26 Olivier 15 Eliza A 12 [same age as Louisa from 1850] James 8 Joseph 6 Henry 5 George Hase 5 This is son of Emilie Carmelite Hayes Pierre Sarver 1 This is son of George Next house: Jacob Seaborn 56 from NY 1870 census shows Denise as head of household, with Joseph and Henry still at home. In the household is a Clementine Sarver and her children, Leon age 7 and Clemence age 2. She is the wife/widow of some Sarver relative living with Denise, but unknown at this time. William Jr and family are on same page of census. [Census-1870:St. Landry Par. LA, p.316A] “……….until the time of his death in 1870. His wife died in 1878.” According to Judy Jukes’ family story, William and Denise had moved to land in Ebenezer area, now owned by Kennedys. She is remembered as driving around in a buggy with an old Indian woman for a companion. Both she and William were buried on the homeplace, with large rocks for markers. Recent search for the rocks was unsuccessful. (2001) Article on Eliza Landry’s birthday: “ Mrs. Sarver is a member of one of the pioneer families of south Louisiana. Her father, William Sarver of Pittsburg, Pa., came to this country in the early part of last century. He was married to Marie Roland, and they established their home on Bayou Blanc, near where is now located the town of Crowley. At that thine the country was sparsely settled. Besides the Sarver home and that of “Uncle Jim Miers, there were none in that immediate section -- their nearest neighbors being many miles removed. Mrs. Sarver experienced all the hardships of pioneer days. For thirteen years she worked at shoe making and saddle rigging, and had no superior among the male workers at the trade. Of the eleven children born to Mr. and Mrs. William Sarver only four survive: Eliza, Joseph, James and Henry. Mrs. Eliza Sarver [sic] has three children living: Mrs. Telles Jones, and Oliver Landry of Acadia Parish, and Mrs. J. D. Plaisance of Abbeeville. She has 23 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. source: Abbeville Meridional, Abbeville, Louisiana, Saturday, September 22, 1928“
