Debbie, Thanks for writing. No, I haven't found Shaeffer spelling our "tree" or "orchard". I do know that between about 1830 -1850, Andrew and Sarah Cain Shaffer were in Bedford County, Londonderry Twp. Other Shaffers are there -- including, I believe, a Jacob. But as the wife's name wasn't used in census until 1850, I can't say we could be talking about the same one. Some Shaffers came from Somerset County, too -- maybe some of them spelled it Shaeffer. In Cambria County there was a Jacob Shaffer and wife -- you might check them out in Cambria County. One dominant feature about our families is that most have TWINS. My g-grandfather, a son of Andrew and Sarah, was a twin; his brothes Samuel and George, Jr., have twins, too -- and I believe the Jacob I found in Cambria County has twins -- not sure about those in Bedford, though there are children in the same age groups that could be twins. Although no twins are in my direct linage after my g-grandfdather -- except for a 3rd cousin who had twins -- there are still twins being born in others mentioned. Gary Shaffer lives in W. VA -- he has twin brothers. So, I'm sorry -- after all that -- I don't know of any that went on to Ohio. Cordially, Wanda --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
