In your case, Shover is an alteration of French Chauvin. Just Google the two names together and you'll see all kinds of references to this. You'll find the origin of Chauvin at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/chauvin-name-meaning.ashx. In other cases, Shover is an alteration of German Schober as you can see at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?rank=0&xcb=x&tips=0&father=schober&given=&surname=shover&mother=&stype=Exact&spouse=&byear=&brange=&bplace=&myear=&mrange=&mplace=&dyear=&drange=&dplace=&language=en&op=search&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gl=&gss=mp-awt&gst=&so=3. No one named De Schouwer is recorded as having immigrated to North America.
