The son of John A. Shive and Elvira McNeely. C.C. Shive married on August 9, 1853, Mary Dorothea Harria in Charlotte, North Carolina. She would pass away on August 6, 1867 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Even though they were newlyweds at the time of C. C.'s death, Mary would give birth to their daughter, Viola Cowan Shive on June 2, 1854 in Victoria, Texas. The baby Viola was the namesake of Viola Shive, the widow of John Robinson Shive, C.C.'s brother, who had passed away of yellow fever on August 17th in Victoria, Texas. No doubt, both widows had established a strong bond in the midst of their grief.
