Shirley, Have you considered the likelihood that SHEAFFER spelling you have for your gggrandfather is an aberrant spelling and the family name was really SHAEFFER? Surname spellings were very fluid in the 18-19th Century. Have you tried posting your query on the SHAEFFER RootsWeb Listserv? Whether or not you agree that SHAEFFER is a possible spelling, you might get a helpful response if you post on that ListServ.

Have you thought about a change in the spelling? My early relatives from Perry Co. spelled their last name Sheaffer, but later on for some reason they spelled it Shaffer.
