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.
