Here is another installment on early Shaffer/Sheffer/Schaeffer, et al., families of York County. I descend from George Ludwig Scheffer, brother of this George Jacob Scheffer. George Jacob Scheffer of Codorus tp., York County, PA There were two Jacob Scheffer/Sheffer’s in early York, both raising young families. They have occasionally been confused because the other Jacob Sheffer moved to Dover tp. during his final years, residing near the George Ludwig Sheffer, who was the son of John Sheffer, with whom George Jacob Sheffer is frequently linked. I have no been able to trace George Jacob’s family; however, there are promising deed records indicated below that surely pinpoint at least several of his children. I would be most appreciative if any one in York or Pennsylvania could check those references.

I have not fully researched this family; however, as indicated in a previous post, I suspect this Charles Schaeffer to be the father of Abraham Schaeffer (c1793-1825) of Dover Township, York County. The records below prove Charles's migration from Lancaster County to York County. I have glanced at but not compiled census records. In 1790, he appears in Cocalico tp., Lancaster County. From 1800 through 1840 in Warrington tp., York County. Only his name is given in 1840--the household members are not given; but, in 1830, his age range is 60-70. Since his brother Henry served as their mother's executor, I presume that Henry resided in York County as well. Brother Peter was in Warwick tp., Lancaster County, as of 1793. Note that Charles's wife is Elizabeth Roland, daughter of Joseph Roland. In 1850, a Jacob Sheffer in Warrington tp., 36 years of age, had a son named Rolandis. I welcome any additional information about this family, as I am rarely able to visit York County to peruse primary source records. York County Will Abstracts: Catharine Shafer. York County.

In 1784, Jacob Roland granted the same to one Peter Brown, subject to the dower of Joseph’s widow Barbara. The widow’s dower was to be distributed among the surviving heirs of Joseph Roland after her death. The said widow has lately died. The aforenamed heirs now acknowledge having received their due share in and out of her dower. –It is noted that Mary Roland, another daughter of Joseph Roland, has heretofore died intestate, unmarried, and without issue. --16 May 1816 Cocalico Reformed KB, Ephrata tp., Lancaster County, PA: Carl Schaefer & his wife Elizabeth had baptized: 1.

Related Familes: Peter Shaffer/Shaeffer of Carroll tp., York County, PA David Sheffer/Shaeffer of Dillsburg, York County, PA I have been reworking and updating my file of the Shaffer families of the Dover Township area. I will be posting a series of compiled data for Shaffer families in the 1760-1820 time frame. My own Shaffer lineage goes through George Ludwig Scheffer (1755-1829), son of John Scheffer, of Dover tp. However, I am in need of much assistance to flesh details out. This post focuses on Abraham Shaffer/Schafer/Schaffer of Dover tp. He is NOT related to the George Ludwig Scheffer or John Scheffer families; however, as he appears in the vicinity, I always find it of great value to research other families in order to better exclude them from my own. Abraham's parentage is uncertain; however, he had a child named Carolus (or Carl, or Charles) baptized in 1817. There was a Charles Schaeffer in adjoining Warrington tp. enumerated in the 1800 through 1840 federal censuses. He appears to have been the Charles Schaeffer of Cocalico tp., son of Abraham Schaeffer, who migrated circa 1793 to York County. The nearby location and naming patterns fit; however, I have no evidence to link the two. Census records also show Charles Schaeffer with a child in 1800 and 1810 who fits the expected age of Abraham Shaffer of Dover tp. I have not looked at Abraham's estate records--there probably were Orphans Court records for his minor children. Also, I have not had opportunity to fully investigate Charles Schaeffer of Warrington tp. in either church or court records. There may be something further of value. I will send a separate post on the little I have gathered on Charles Schaeffer. Here follows compiled data on Abraham Schaeffer/Shaffer/Schafer: Abraham Schafer (c1793-1825) Family of Dover tp.

Sheffer son of David and Sarah Sheffer, of Dillsburg, was born June 15, 1846. In 1860 he began learning coach-making of his father, and in 1872 went to Dover, where for about six years he worked for Brown & Strayer. On his return to Dillsburg he erected a fine dwelling house and a large coach-maker's shop, and has succeeded in establishing a large and lucrative trade in the borough and surrounding country in buggies, spring wagons, hacks, phaetons, etc. He was married in 1868 to Mary Baish, daughter of Joseph and Mary Baish; of the two children born to this union--a boy and a girl--the girl only is living.

Catherine would be Edward's G-G-granddaughter. Another interesting note. 1850 Union Co, Ohio census says Edward was born in MD. Martin and Catherine's first two children were born in MD.

There are 2 inhabitants and 1 Cow. This usually means that he had just married within the past year or two, . There is also a Joseph Taylor with 100 acres and 10 inhabitants in Newberry. I don't know if he is related to Edward or not. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Jane married Francis Simms 23 April 1807 from Cathart's Private Regester. Eleanor married James Moffit May 7, 1805 Cathart's. Samuel was first in Hopewell in the tax records of 1795 when he had 3 cattle,3 Horses and 220 acres. Samuels son William b. 1776 died 1831. William's wife Jane born 17780 died 1841. Eleanor and James Moffit probably had a daughter Jane b. 8 June 1806. Samuel paid taxes on 228 or 230 A. in Hopewell until 1810 when he transferred it to Robert McGaw his son. Robert was single in 1800 through 1812 meanig he was at least 21 in 1800. I didn't look beyond 1812. Samuel who died in 1814 was over 59 yrs in age since he was over 45 in 1800. Samuel McGau sold 1 5/8 Acres to the Hopewell Presbyterian Congregation in 1797 for 5 Shillings. witnesses were William Mc Gaw and Eloner McGaw. DEed 3O-147 in 1836 shows that 228 A. of Robert McGaue was seized by the Sheriff and sold to Robert Gemmell. Alexader Thompson was the executor of Samuel McGaue. There is a Samuel McGaw in the 1790 Philadelphia census. Could he have moved to York and bought 220A? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am a member of the DAR through John Saxon, and I would still like to add Andrew, especially since he fought in the entire Revolutionary War, unlike so many others. Did you ever send me the info on the Davis family in WI? I'm 1,200 miles away from home (and my hard copy records).....I'm staying with my daughter and family in Montana (cold Montana!!!) while we await the birth of my new granddaughter. I guess MN is just as cold......I've never experienced cold like this....here it is 11 am and it's at least -10! (and dropping!) The early records of Sophia and David Waltermyer are recorded in the Church records. Looks like I have a plethora of information in my FTM program......which I have with me. If you need specific records, I'll read through what I have on my laptop. Have a great holiday. Janeva JanevaLCF@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
