In the Biographical Sketch section for Woodcock Township in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885" I found the following PEIFFER references: On pages 1163 and 1164: "Christopher Siverling, farmer, PO, Long's stand, was born in Venango Township, this county, June 5, 1823; son of John and Hannah (Camp) Siverling, and grandson of Christopher Siverling, who settled in Venango Township, this county, in 1794, locating on the farm known as the Tarr farm, which they cleared and improved. John Siverling was drafted in the War of 1812, serving under Gen. Harrison. He had six children: Betsy (deceased), wife of Simon PEIFFER; George; Daniel; Margaret, wife of George Lasher; Christopher; and Catherine, wife of Elias Rogers. Our subject was twice married; on first occasion, May 9, 1844 to Mary, daughter of Michael and Rhoda (Brookhouser) Straw, of Hayfield Township, this county, who bore him five children: Anna, wife of Henry Jones, of Bradford, Penn.; Emma, wife of J.W. McFadden, of Rockdale Township, this county; Elizabeth; Margaret, wife of Fred Davis, of Bradford, Penn.; and Alice. Of these, Anna and Emma are twins. He was remarried November 15, 1866, to Sarah, daughter of Christian and Sarah (Strauss) Houser, of Hayfield Township, this county. By this union there are two children: Homer and Mary. Mr. Siverling resided in Venango Township until 1845, when he located in Saegertown, built a pottery and embarked in the manufacture of earthen-ware, which he followed for eighteen years. In 1870 he purchased his present farm and has followed agricultural pursuits ever since. He has held various township offices. In politics he is a Democrat." That's if for the Peiffers!
