Judge Abraham Shriver

Abraham Shriver was the third son of David, Sr. His early occupation was as a farmer and then in the mercantile business. Although he had only a meager education, in 1805 he was appointed associate judge of the Fifth Judicial District of Maryland. He served as judge for 35 years until failing eyesight and blindness forced his retirement.

He was active politically and was one of the founders of the Democratic Party in Frederick. He was a confidant of several justices of the U.S. Supreme court including Chief Justice Rodger B. Taney, famed for the Dred Scott decision.
