Hi All: Boy was that death certificate butchered: Valentine was the son of Elizabeth Catherina SHAFFER and he was born in Upper Saucon Twp. His children were: John Shaffer, Anna Catherine Knerr (Knarr) Maurer, Dorothea Sherry, Anna Maria Beisel, John Peter Shaffer, Isaac Shaffer, Elizabeth Henderliter (Hinderliter or Henneleiter) Andrew Shaffer, Joseph Shaffer, and Mary (Polly) Shaffer Shaffer (she married Andrew Shaffer's son Michael). He is buried in St. James Luthern Church Cemetery, Ringgold Twp, Jefferson Co., PA and a stone marks his grave. I questioned a local family member regarding Valentine's stone because it was very modern and not in keeping with his time. I was told that Church records record his burial and that of his wife Catherine Staub Shaffer at St. James but their grave was unmarked until a family member who was DAR obtained permission to mark her ancestors burial place. I think this certificate is an example of not taking literally what information a family member supplied after death as gospel. Nevertheless, I appreciate having it put online as I did not have that as yet. Thank you CL for sharing this information. If I can ever figure out all the words in my photocopy, I will attempt to put Valentine's last will and testament online also.

I've been reading the various queries of the Schaeffer/Shaffer/etc. line and have noticed that most of them are in the East. Is there anyone out there with relatives in WISCONSIN???? I am trying to track down a family that I know very little about. The "last of the line" was an only child whose father died prior to this person's birth and mother shortly after his birth (depending on which story you hear). Anyhow, there were other siblings to the parents and grandparents. The grandparents came from Crivitz, Mecklenbeurg Germany. Kathy [email protected]

Reply to Pat at address below. Subject: JAMES (ADAM??) SCHAEFFER Date: Fri, 19 Jun 1998 18:17:24 -0700 From: "Richard & Pat Wehr" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Hi, I am looking for info on my grandfather James (Adam) Schaeffer, whom I think was born 9/02/1898, and registered for the WW1 draft in Dist. #3 of Reading County PA. He served in France during the war and when he returned, he married my grandmother, Myrta (Mamie) Elizabeth Ellis from Rich Hill MO. They traveled around the Kansas oil fields with the rigging crews for several years and my mother, Billie Esther Schaeffer, was born in Augusta KS on 8/23/1924. The name Esther is not among the Ellis family names and I thought maybe it was Jimmy's mother's name. I know nothing of his family at all, not names places, or dates. My grandmother divorced Jimmy when my mother was old enough to go to school because he refused to settle down and he died sometime around 1935 and was buried in the St. Louis area where his stepmother lived. Her name was M. Morrissey. Does my Jimmy Schaeffer sound like he might be part of your Schaeffer line? Any info at all will be welcome. PAT WEHR
