Patty, I am responding to your PFEIFFER requested lookup in Camden County, New Jersey, by sending you a copy, and sending the Camden County Rootsweb list a carbon copy, so others may benefit by your request... From George Reeser Prowell's History of Camden County (NJ), 1886: GEORGE S. F. PFEIFFER, a native of Worms, Germany, was born September 9, 1806. He studied medicine under Baron Von Liebig and Von Ritiger, in Strasburg and Giessen, after which he entered the Holland navy as assistant surgeon. He was captured off the coast of Algiers and retained a prisoner, and he was in charge of the grounds and gardens of the Sultan of Turkey, and there introduced many new plants. He was liberated by the French about 1830, and returned to Germany. His long absence prevented his return to the practice of his profession without a thorough study and examination, accoring to German, and he came to America in 1833, where he formed the acquaintance with Dr. C. F. Herring and others of the Hahnemann school of practice. In 1834 he began homeopathic practice, first in Baltimore, later in Adams County, Pa., Germantown and Philadelphia. In 1854 he moved to Camden, where he remained until 1862, during a part of which time he was a professor in the Penn Medical College. He then entered the regular army and reained in its service until 1868, and returned to Camden, resumed practice and continued until his death, November 29, 1883. Another article to follow...
