    1. Re: [PALANCAS] Lancaster Co PA - HESS & STOUFFER GRAVE SITE??? - 1775
    2. I was able to confirm that the Stauffer Graveyard is in Elizabeth Twp. (once part of old Warwick Twp) Lancaster County. In Grave Undertakings, Vol. 1, Elizabeth Twp. "Grave Inscriptions of Old Warwick", by Martha J. Xakellis, Clossen Press 1989, pg 96, here is a photo of the old graveyard location with a list of nine gravestones. There is a Jacob & Magdalena Stauffer buried there but the dates of death do not match the ones you had asked about. All dates of death are in the 1800s (1805-1855). -------------- Original message -------------- From: "mstauf" <mstauf@comcast.net> > Henry Jacob & Magdalena HESS STOUFFER lived in Donegal Twp and had also > lived in Warwick Twp of Lancaster County.
