Greetings: Looking for information pertaining to Rev. Daniel George SCHAEFFER. Rev. SCHAEFFER was licensed by the Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania in 1801 and was asked to preach at the "Blauberger" Church (Zion Red Church) in Brunswick Twp. now Schuylkill Co. Around 1807 Rev. SCHAEFFER began serving the Zion's Stone Church and by 1811 was serving three congregations in the Penn Township area (primarily current day East Penn, Carbon & West Penn, Schulykill). Several SCHAEFFERs show in the West Penn area just prior to his arrival and he then appears on the West Penn census for 1810,1820, & 1830. He is to have died in 1835. Of primary interest besided connecting to my line is to find what, if any, other places he may have preached prior to coming to 1801 or what other occupations he may have had. He appears from census data to have been born circa 1755 and definitely by 1760 as he appears in the 70-80 male column for the 1830 census. The Zion's Stone Church 2ooth. anniversary history, the source for most of this information, states that when inteviewed by the Ministerium as per his application for license he stated that "he was not educated in the classics, but that he could speak in Spanish, Portuguese, etc. with thhe inhabitants of the harbors that he visited in his travels." This fellow will be a primary area of focus so I'm looking forward to others that may have ties to this man or the Penn Twp. area circa 1800. -- Best Regards, Michael Shafer Researching the SHAFER(&variations) Pittsburgh, PA, USA name in eastern Penna.
