I have more details but don't believe this connects directly to my line. DeCamp is from Emily W. DeCamp b. 27 Feb 1832 that married Joseph Stanford Shaffer b.12 Sept 1827 d. 17 May 1869. 7 children by this marriage. Edward 1852, Minor 1857, George 1858, Annetta 1861, Emmit 1864, Mallissa 1866, Alice 1868. Emily W. DeCamp Shaffer then married #2 George W. Hull 18 Aug 1870. Between 1870 & 1873 they traveled the Oregon trail to Washington state in the Whitman Co area. She gave birth to 2 sons ~ Frank Hull & Charles Hubb Hull. Emily & George than divorced. She went to live her remainder years with her son & my grandfather ~ Minor Green Shaffer who was married to Alma Hull. They had 6 children. Emmett, Loren, Dean (Robert), Joseph, Genevieve, & Hiram Hull (my father) b. 6 Nov 1901 d. 29 Aug 1993. They were all raised on the Shaffer homestead outside of Almira, WA in Lincoln Co. I have never seen a Sherman/Shaffer marriage except my own. My husband is Cary Lou Sherman ~ Lou Sherman & Lenora Davis are his parents (divorced). Lou's parents were Marvin Sherman & Clara Bell Breithaupt. These Sherman's originated out of Michigan & Minnesota at least as far as I'm able to track. Please advise if any of this helps.

All records were burned. I don't have names, other then the father Louis/Lewis (?) Shaffer and the children that I am aware of, David,Albert(a twin and my father)Harold, Bill or William. I know there were other children but for one reason or another they all died. The family migrated to the Washington State area in the early part of the century. There is a half sister Helen. If any one has a lead to the SF area, HELP!

There was at least one Shaffer (sp?) on the ship that brought Caspar Mansker's (Metzger) family over here from Germany. Am wondering if that Shaffer is my ancestor also, because Richard and Caspar settled in Nashville area during 1780's. Travelled down Cumberland River from ? with Hickman, Robertson, etc. Richard was a surveyor and had been in the Revolutionary War - Fought with Richard Henderson. Would really appreciate any help with tracing where in America they were first and from where in Germany. Thanks very much--

I don't know anything about the Shafer/Shaffer line. That is what I am trying to find out. My Mary Shaffer was married to William Colbert in Illinios, Henry county. I am trying to find out more information on the Shaffer line. Like who her parents were and brothers and sisters. I have none of those other names in my line as of yet. I like the way you use songs though. I hope to maybe sometime find a connection to your lines because I feel you will be a real hoot to know. Thanks for the wonderful chuckle you gave me. I am not trying to be rude either.

I can't help now but notice you are interested in Shaffer and your a Sherman. I have Sherman in my Shaffer line too. I don't know the name of my G-Grandfather Shaffer, but my G-Grandmother Sherman was born c 1856/7 and I have her father too who had been married twice. I have this on census information to confirm. You also mention the name Hiram, that name is in my line of family handed down to an Uncle. However some records show him as a Herman as I thought my Mom had said but I learned from his son the name was Hiram. Long ago I found Herman on Social Security Death Index. My Grandmother was a Shafer, Shaffer, and the maiden name of her mother was Sherman. I have a picture of my G-Grandparents with yet another spelling of the Shaffer, Shafer name, but no given names are listed. As my Grandmother died in OH before I was born, I know nothing about her family and Mom never said much about her line. Another Sherman, who no longer replies, if still living, sent me information he had gathered and it wasn't verified, nor can I find it to be true. He had stated my Grandmother had siblings Hattie, Murlin, or Merlin, and Edger and the father was said to possibly be Benjamin Hiram Shaffer. I have found a Hiram Shaffer m to Sarah Pope and they had a child Edger b 1848. Then I found an Edgar Shafffer b 1851 on census too, he married a Lilly born about the time of my G-Grandmother. Could be the timing of the census that makes the one year difference in age. Any of this sound familiar to you? It confuses me the more I search and I have been at this for years. Others have written saying George was my G-Grandfather also a William. I've been able to find a George William Hiram Shaffer, (I think I got that in the right order for one name. I have heard my Mom say we were also realted to DeCamp when one did the Borax commercial on TV many years ago. I don't know if it is extended family or direct in my Shaffer lines. I know Nothing. HELP.
