Hello everyone- I just recently joined this list and am hoping someone can help me. Thanks to some new found cousins, I had a major breakthrough on my RHOADS/RHODES family and in the process, discovered that I am a SHAFFER descendant. My 5g-grandmother, Hannah SHAFFER, married Jacob RHOADS (born 05 SEP 1788 to Gabriel and Rachael SHADACRE RHOADS.) Two of Jacob's siblings, Eve RHOADS and Hanna RHOADS, also married SHAFFERS, Simon and Jacob SHAFFER, respectively. This leads me to believe that Hannah, Simon and Jacob SHAFFER were all related in some way, possibly siblings. Does anyone have any information about any of those SHAFFERs? Thank you for any leads.

Aloha again, Here's more info hoping someone can connect for me.Samuel Shaffer was born in PA May 1, 1804. He was the second to last of a large family that moved to Westmoreland Co., PA in the early 1800s. His parents are presumed to be Peter and Elizabeth Shaffer. The parents or futher ancestors came from Maryland. Samuel and Christina Hines Shaffer had ten children: Peter H. b. 9-19-1830 d. 1890 Elizabeth b.2/17/1833 mar. Isaac Hoobler Jacob 2/17/1835 died in infancy Margaret 12/31/1836 mar. Emanuel Hoobler Mary Anne 12/29/1838 mar. 1) Nicol 2) Wm. Beggs Matilda 1/31/1841 mar. Henry Brown Samuel 12/27/1843 died before 1891 Martha 6/2/1846 mar. Maxwell John 3/18/1848 mar. Rebecca Elizabeth Lindsey James 1/8/1850 Jacob and Margaret were named after the maternal grandparents, so I figured Peter and Elizabeth must have been the paternal grandparents' names. In 1850 the family moved from Westmoreland Co., PA to Antrim, Guernsey Co, OH. Also lived in Harrisson Co., OH. Got any ideas? Mahalo, Ed Stumpf .

Hi folks, I've been lurking for a while on the list because I only had 1 SCHAFFER, and didn't feel I had enough to post, but last week I found some of her family in church records.
