Hi Jim Shot in the dark here. My Phoebe LITTLEJOHN daughter of Abraham LITTLEJOHN and Sarah SHAFFER lived in Clark Co OH during the same time period. Is there a possibility of a relationship there? Abraham and Sarah were married in Berkeley Co VA (W/VA). I have a list of the SHAFFER marriages in Berkeley Co which were posted on the Shaffer list and can be located on Rootsweb by searching the mailing list archive. Judy Hoard

Katherine: Have you searched the 1920 Census for your father? That is where you need to start. You should be able to find him as an 8 year old boy with his father and that will tell you where John Seth Shaffer was born and what year. Also will tell you all his children's names. Then you should work backwards from 1920 (1910,1900, 1880) and see what you find. The 1890 census burned and will not be accessible for the most part. Do you live near a library that has this info. If you don't let me know and I'll at least check a couple of census years for you next time I'm there. My SHAFFER's were farmers in MO also. WILLIAM SHAFFER born in 1868 in Indiana, moved to Caldwell Co. MO (just north of Kansas City) as a boy and had his 11 children there between 1890-1912. Many of them ended up raising their children (my mom's generation) in Kansas City. OOPS! Had to reopen this message and add this:: Just got your message about Birmingham MO and Monico MO Can't find them on a map anywhere. What counties are they in?

Since I wrote yesterday, I pumped my mother for a little more information about my father's side of the family and I guess my grandfather had two brothers. Carl and Kenneth both Shaffer's. I guess Kenneth was adopted...don't know the story behind that as of yet. Maybe I can find out from my Aunt. So there was Albert, Carl and Kenneth. My father was the son of Albert Gideon and he had one sister Lois Ferne Shaffer (now Warner). Am looking for any of this side of the family that came from any of these Shaffer's. My father was Albert Donald Shaffer. Katherine (Shaffer) Johnson

Iam in deep need of help, tring to solve a mystery., it's my gr.g.father, William Micheal SHAFFER. He was born1886, possiably Dublin, Franklin, Ohio(this is state on one sons birth record and a family bible, which is lost). He married an Ida Mae GUNION on the 12th. of March, 1892 in Steubenville, Jefferson,Ohio. He died in 1936 and buried at Upland Cemetery in Yorkville, Jefferson, Ohio. I can not find any birth record or dath record to verify who he is.Which means I am at a stand still on that link. He and his family lived in Steubenville, Brilliant, Jefferson, Ohio and Wellsburg, Brooke, W.Va. I am at my wits end. Is there anyone else working possiably on this line or knows where I can begin again. Any help would be of great help. Thank you for your time and help in advanve.Frieda McNeil [email protected]

According to a well-documented genealogy compiled by Victor A. Young, 1996, JOHN SCHAEFFER was born 1775, d. 1848 in Westmoreland Co., PA, m. CATHARINA WEIBLE (1784-1872). All of their children were born in Westmoreland Co., and at some point, the spelling of the named was changed to SHAFFER. Children/birth dates: John 1801 Daniel 1803 (my ancestor) Elizabeth 1806 Martha 1808 Sarah 1810 Veronica 1812 Henry 1814 Hannah 1816 Isaac 1819 William 1821 Leah 1823 Mary Ann 1825 Does anyone have any knowledge of this family? According to Mr.. Young in his genealogy, John Schaeffer came to Westmoreland Co. from eastern PA. I'm looking for information on his birth place and parents.
