Hi Leroy, I have this on a George PEIFFER,born 23 Aug 1783,in Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co,PA: He was the first son of Johann Georg PEIFFER and Maria Magdalena SCHAFERIN(Schaeffer), he married a Catherine MINIMUM, date unknown. I have a bit more on his parents and siblings ,if you are interested. My connection is that one of George's sisters, Mary Magdalene, married my GGGF John Lasher,2 Feb 1815 in Crawford Co,PA. The PEIFFER family moved to Crawford Co,PA about 1797. Do you think that we are talking about the same George PEIFFER? Geo would have been 53 yo when Josiah was born. . . . not impossible but questionable and he would have had to have a much younger wife,or maybe a second wife.
