This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Shafer, Schaeffer, and all kinds of variants Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AB.2ACE/3324.1 Message Board Post: I have several suggestions, which you may have acted upon. If you are near an LDS family history center, call them up and ask 1) what are the hours you are open 2) do you have Ancestry.com on your computers? If you get to the FH center, try to find in the censuses Shaeffer [it is spelled all kinds of ways, as you have discovered] in the appropriate year censuses. Be aware of this: The indexing for the censuses on Ancestry.com, I am told, was outsourced overseas, and the error rate is high [of the index]. And of course that does not even include the errors made by the census taker himself (always fellows until later censuses.) And sometimes the film preparer may have skipped filming a page or two of the census!!! Write down as many variants of the surname as you can think of, but also, on Ancestry.com you can use wild cards. I think I was told you have to have the first three letters [but vary them, of course] and then an asterisk. For one census search for a recent ancestor, we could not use the surname Williams because the census-taker had left the final s off Williams, and that threw the name into a different Soundex code. We used the first name of the wife, which name was unusual in that particular community, which was largely Spanish-speaking. If you do not find this man on any censuses--of the right place and the right time--then ask whether there may be a CD-ROM of the Bureau of Land Management patents for Wisconsin. The BLM-GLO patent indexes sporadically are on the internet. It seems to be hit or miss. Some days I can find it, and other days I cannot. Let us assume your man owned some property. Did he come back--or did his heirs came back to KY to sell the land?. I have had some breakthroughs by combing the deeds of several States--also probate records. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City invariably has films for deeds of most counties, also probate records, court records, and tax records. Families, except those who retained Bibles, did not make records for you and me--but the Government kept records, and so we have to use Government records--also jail records, bail bonds, guardianship bonds, you name it!!! Have your librarian dig out for you some basic genealogy *how-to* books and take a look at the resources we detectives have to use. It ain't easy, but, golly, sometimes it is fun!!!! E.W.Wallace

You might of tried this before--in 1829 he would have been 31 he should be listed in the census indexs. The fastest direct route from KY to MO is down in the Cape Area or Scott county. The south western part of Ky which meets MO IL and AR. KY>IL>MO. This would mean that he crossed over into Ill from Union County then there is only one or two counties to cross in ILL. During that time the longest route to MO was KY>IN>IL>MO. ----- Original Message ----- From: dshaffer2000@yahoo.com<mailto:dshaffer2000@yahoo.com> To: KYHENDER-L@rootswebcom<mailto:KYHENDER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 2:46 PM Subject: [KYHENDER] Peter Shafer (Shaffer, Sheffer) This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Dear Subscribers, Reading the online 1800 tax list of Henderson Co.reminded me that I have a good many questions about David Stephens, who died intestate ca 1813. He had been a quartermaster, as I remember, in the company of Philip Barbour in the War of 1812, but he resigned. I do not know whether he was in poor health or not, but in 1813, he died. From my reading of court records and deeds of Henderson Co., I have gathered the following facts. His widow was Elizabeth [unknown]. His sister, who was a co-tenant in the purchase of Lot 23, later married George Sprinkle, and from time to time, the Sprinkles are found in Indiana. Elizabeth Stephens, widow, married ca 1815 to a widower from Granville Co., NC--Samuel Farrar Williams. Williams had about eight or nine children, most of them grown by this time. Williams had been Elizabeth Stephens neighbor, as he had purchased from the Sprinkles 100 acres of Lot 23. Williams was hauled into court several times for failing to give an account of guardians account for the Stephens children. In 1817, one of Williams's sons, called in 1820 census Samuel Williams, Jr. married his stepsister, Catherine Stephens. [This information is taken from the transcripts made long ago by Ora Chandler. I do not have copies of the marriage bonds

Helen, I am not the person you were refering to, but I might help. Would be more than glad to try to help with the Fraser/Frasier family if I have anything or can use what I know to help. The Frasier line is not my direct line (a second marriage), but he had a great impact on the lives of his step-children. Nancy Oglesby (b. 1851 - d. Jan. 26, 1925) first married a William Crowley (b. abt.. 1840 - d. abt. 1878) and had three daughters. Then William dies leaving behind three very young children. Family moves in to care for the young widow. Then she sometimes later she marries the Rev. D. L. Frasier. Also I do not remember if we have crosses pathes searching for each other surname or not. One of my my materinal grandfather's lines from Henderson County are the Majors or Major/Magors however it happened to be spelled that census or source. I know that at two siblings in the Majors family tree and antoher member have married into the Eakins and a Sandefur families. The first is Frances A. Sandefur and she married a James Phillip Majors (b. abt. 1865 Henderson County, Kentucky -) on April 10, 1883 in Henderson County, KY. According to the marriage book 18, page 367, the groom and bride are both 18. Frances and her parents are supposedly from Ohio County, KY and James and his parents from Henderson County, KY. Interestingly it is the groom father who leaves a consent on page 302 for his son. The second is a William Eakins marries bef. 1900 Eliza Jane Majors (b. abt. 1862 Henderson County, Kentucky -) This is Eliza Jane Majors second marriage. Her first was to a John P. Phillips on May 9, 1880 and the marriage ended by 1885. The source for the about ending date is the1910 census where John is married to his third wife. The third, is a Catherine Sandefur who married a Majors in Henderson in early part of 1800's. Sorry for taking so long to reply, been out of town and not feeling well. Thought if either of the two surnames match anythings it might help. I am going to post to the board just in case any of the sunames are helpful to others.
