Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4908 Surname: ------------------------- As with the other responses, I don't have exact tie-ins to your material, but hope what I do have will help: The immigrant in my Schoofner, etc. line was: John Martin Schoofner, I have no dates for him, but he came from Germany, lived in Berks Co, possibly Lancaster Co (where he was married to a Dorothea,) and is buried in Chester County. One of his daughters, Anna Maria Schoffner/Schaffner, was born 5 Oct 1769 in Berks Co, married Frederick Guthart/Goodhart and died 24 Feb 1844, Berks Co. His other daughter, Mary Magdelena Schaffner/Schoffner, was born on 19 May 1771 in Berks Co, m. Jacob Guthart/Goodhart, and died 31 Jan 1816 in Cumberland Co - buried at Bishop/Hisner Cem near Palmstown. It's most likely that there were other children, but I don't have them. If there was a son born around the time Anna Maria and Mary Magdalena were born, he would be the right age to be the father of your Jacob. I wish I could be more helpful, but hope this info gives you some leads. Thera Link: Schwenk & Allied Families of PA URL: <http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=thera>
