Surnames: Shaeffer Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.dearborn/4196/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am seeking information on one Isaac Shaeffer. He was born 1838 in Lancaster, Pa and died 1918 in Indiana. I'm guessing in Dearborn County because an 1880 Census shows him in Sparta. The type of information I am looking for is exact birth and death dates, cemetary name and location, names of children and birth and death dates for them. I have nothing but the info I've given and his wife's first name and the names of his kids shown in the 1880 census. I'd also like to have the maiden name of his wife, Adelia. He is an uncle of mine, brother to my great-great-great grandmother, Rebecca Shaeffer. Can anyone supply me with this information I seek?

According to the "Dearborn County Indiana Cemetery Records Volume C" by Miltom A. Masing there is an Isaac Shafer and Adelia Shafer buried in the South Sparta Churh Cemetery. This cemetery is located on the East side of West County Line Road between Watson and Ewing Roads. There are no dates given for Isaac. Adelia was born 6FEB1834 and died 23MAR1882. Ancestry.com has a marriage record for Delia Allen Isaac Sheafer 21 Oct 1858 Dearborn The following places might be helpful to your search.
