I believe he came to the Fryburg, PA area (Friedensburg) as a young man and there married Maria Dalritsch who was born in Friedensburg. He died February 23, 1829. I am also interested in his son John Washington Heffner, Sr. born May 6, 1813. He died December 22, 1887. His wife's name was Mary Catherine Schwartz. Many records have these persons in Schuylkill County PA. or Berks County PA but I think they were here in Clarion County. Anyone know anything?
