Hi I am trying to find information about Catherine Schaeffer or Schafer. She was born in 1764 probably in Chester County PA. She married Henry Minium sometime in the early 1780's. They lived in Northumberland County and then in Crawford County PA. I think her parents may have been Johannes and Maria Eva(Sabin) Schafer, but I am not sure. Henry and Catherine had 12 children. Any information would be greatfull. Thank you for your time. Sincerely Kimberly Liljequist [email protected]

How can I get onto the mailing list for the Shaffer group?

This is from Ancestry I hope I'am forwarding it right It is important. Lola

Did you try the phone book? I have a compilation of nearly 2000 S-H-E-A-F-F- E-R households in the US (nearly half of them in PA), and over 40 in the city of Lancaster alone, not counting the rest of Lancaster County. [email protected]

Jacob Shaffer b. 1793 Lancaster County, PA moved to Stark County, Ohio about the year 1831. He married Sarah O'Connel. I am searching for descendants.

There is another variant of Shaffer and that is Sheaffer, which happens to be the one I am trying to find in Lancaster Co, PA. Anyone know any Sheaffers in Lancaster County? Thanks Cherie Sheaffer [email protected] Other names I am researching: Hammond, Ewell, Murdoch, McFarland, Birdsong, Bentley, Crosno, Berry, England, Ridley

I don't see any "research Statistics" pertaining to the Sheaffer variation of spelling for this surname and there are really quite a few of these Sheaffer's scattered around the country. After 25 years of research on this name, I can attest to that. Lots of them in the Shippensburg, PA and adjacent counties. "The Sheaffer Search" by Margaret Earlin Sheaffer in 1992 identifies 92 variations in the spelling of this surname. Strange that this Sheaffer surname does not appear in any of the cited "statistics". [email protected] Ken Sheaffer

Gord, thanks for a wonderful collection of information on the Shaffer family name. My family history represents one bit of anecdotal information I can add to your discussion. The evolution of my family name, so far as we've been able to determine is Shaver -> Shafer -> Shaffer, consistant with your one letter at a time change pattern. We believe the original American Shaver in our line to have been of German heritage and suspect that the spelling "Shaver" was an Americanization of the German name. We've not yet confirmed the name and immigration details of our earliest American ancestor. We know George Shaver was in Mifflin Co. PA before the Revolutionary War. He had at least 6 children with his wife Margaret, including Joseph Shaver, b. bef. 1780. Joseph's son Alexander Robison Shafer, b. 1/20/1797 is the first to show the Shafer spelling. We don't know if it was Joseph or his some Alexander who actually changed the spelling, nor do we know why either of the changes were made. Alexander Robison Shaffer's son Alexander Robert Shafer/Shaffer was born 8/14/1840 with the name (we believe) Shafer but died in Perry Co. Ohio on 11/26/1850 with the name Shaffer. We've been Shaffers since then. For those interested in the early PA Shaver/Shafer/Shaffers, here is an abstract of George Shaver's will: SHAVER, George, Milford Twp., w. 3/20/1799, p. 8/11/1803, wife Margaret, son Joseph, daughers Hannah, Ann wife of Abner Beale, Catherine wife of Samuel Keever, Christiana wife of Thomas Hamlin, Betsy wife of William Beale Jr., grandchildren, John, Betsy, Samuel Stigers all children of Rudolph Stigers, Exec. Samuel Keever, & William Beale Jr. (Will Book 1) Thanks again, Gord! Steve Shaffer

Debra Barnhart and other researchers of SHAFER or variants: ==>> SHAFER may be "common" somewhere.... but Pennsylvania is =not= it. ==>> Among a given group of SHAFER males, the first name "Jacob" may indeed be quite common -- as it was in many families with surnames of Germanic origin. This "research" memo provides: (1) List of SHAFER/SHAFFER and other variant spellings (2) Comments on the variants (3) Statistics on the variants (incl URLs of www sources) (a) in the US in total (b) in PA only (SHAFER is =not= common!) (4) Surname migration patterns - see them on a US map The memo provides some factual information that may increase awareness of the likelihood of encountering problems in tracing people with these surnames. The number of variants to be checked can certainly add to the work/time involved in searching some on-line databases, especially those that do not permit partial surname searches nor soundex searches. (1) VARIANT SPELLINGS I have found in my researching the following SHAFFER/SHAFER variants. These might be of help to some: SHAFER SHAFFER SHAEFER SHAEFFER SCHAFER SCHAFFER SCHAEFER/SCHAEFERS SCHAEFFER SHEFFER and SHAVER/SHAVERS. (see occurence frequency table below for 1990 census) There might be a few others but I have not come across them in the 5 months I've been researching www databases. (2) COMMENTS ON THE VARIANTS NOTE: Some might dispute including SHAVER in this list. It is mainly a British surname (but could still have Germanic origins). However, it is also fact that SHAVER appears on some German Passenger Lists, and I have seen it as a name change in at least one SHAFER family lineage. The Soundex coding for SHAVER (S160) is the same as for SHAFFER and its variants. I have been researching my "SHAFERs" in PA, elsewhere in northeastern US, in Ontario Canada and on Ships/ Passenger Lists, since Dec 97 (in the period 1700-1850). I can assure you, the SHAFER spelling is more =uncommon= than common, in PA or elsewhere, in relation to the possible variations listed above. In my experience, in the 1700-1850 time frame, the most common variant by far was SHAFFER. This was still true as of the 1990 US Census (see tables below). It is quite rare to see a change to SHAFER within SHAFFER families and rarer to see a line of SHAFER become SHAFFER. When the former happens, subsequent descendants seem to reinsert the "F" quite quickly (at most two generations later -- and this usually occurs in only one line of a group of siblings). The group of variants starting with "SCH" are, in total, about as common as the SHAFFER variant. When spelling changes or "errors" occur in the "SCH" group, they tend to drop the "C" occasionally only to have subsequent descendants or recordtakers/keepers reinsert the "C". When a spelling change DOES happen in a lineage, it is most frequently only a single letter that is dropped or added - namely the middle "F<=>FF" or "A<=>AE" or "C" in "SH<=>SCH".

His "names" homepage is http://www.hamrick.com/names -- there are =no= linked connections to these "names" pages from his "hamrick" homepage. (4) SURNAME MIGRATION PATTERNS (1850-1990) One clue in where to look for ancestors or descendants is to examine their surname migration pattern over time. It is also simply interesting to trace the migration of your SHAFFER or variant surnames from 1850-1990. You can do this graphically using the surname distribution maps that can be obtained at http://www.hamrick.com/names These Surname Distribution maps are based on the 1850, 1880, 1920 and 1990 censuses and are also downloadable to your PC. They make interesting additions to one's family history personal (i.e. not for sale) documentation (make sure you cite your map source!). I hope some SHAFER/SHAFFER rooters will find something of interest or value in the foregoing material. // Regards, Gord HINES (Regina SK Canada) On Mon 27 April, 1998, Debra Barnhart wrote: > > Shafer's from Clearfield County, Penna.

HI! Do you have any other info? The Seth in John Seth Shaffer below caought my eye. I have a Seth Shaffer who moved from Ohio to Mercer Co. MO about 1840. (Mercer Co. is on the IA border smack dab in the middle). If you could find some 1860 & forward census info, I might be able to help you.

Shafer's from Clearfield County, Penna. Jacob Shafer and his wife Elizabeth lived in the Lurthersburg, Pa area. ( Clearfield County) Jacob was born around 1792. His son Samuel was born in 1840. Sam married Comfort Prucilla Parker. Both are buried in Luthersburg, Pa. I am hoping someone can help me find who Jacobs parents are. Jacob Shafer is a very common name in Penna. Thanks, Debra Barnhart

I'm looking for the family of Helen Alice Schaeffer (b: circa 1872-1875 perhaps in PA but not sure). Known information is scant. She had a sister. She married Stanley Paupper about 1890-1892 perhaps in PA. He was a shoemaker. They had 3 children: Sarah (birth date unknown but born in PA; think she married someone named Fitz) Eleanor Alexandra (b: Mar 17, 1897 or 1900 m: Robert MacFarland) Stanley (b: August 27, 1902 m: Ella Mae Mock) Helen Alice's husband, Stanley, died about 1903 and she died in 1904. We believe the 2 daughters were reared by Helen Alice's sister. The boy, Stanley, was reared by the Stanley Klepacki family in either the Mount Carmel or Chester, PA areas. He later joined the Merchant Marine & lived in the state of Washington and died in Phoenix, AZ. My grandmother, Eleanor Alexandra, always said she was born in Pottsville, Schuylkill Co., PA. We've assumed they were all born there. A recent inquiry suggests her brother Stanley might have been born in Altoona, Blair Co., PA. A check with the Schuylkill Historical Society does show a Peter Klepacki had a shoe shop in Pottsville, PA. He was a brother of Stanley Klepacki who reared Helen Alice's son Stanley. I'm guessing that Stanley Paupper & Helen Alice Schaeffer Paupper died in Pottsville, PA & must be buried in the area but from Texas it's difficult to tromp the cemeteries. Does any one in their Schaeffer (any spelling) trees have a Helen or Helen Alice? Thanks, Mary McLachlan [email protected]

I am posting what little I know: Anton Schafer, presumably born in Prussia about 1844. Immigrated to American prior to 1865. Married a Margaret /?/ who was born in Perrysburg, OH July 12, 1845. They had four children, all born in Michigan: Maria, born in 1868 Anna, born in 1869 Charles Anthony (Tony), born in 1875 "Rudy", born in 1878. Anna married a John Blankhart and settled in Dumont, MN. My last record of Anton was on the MI 1870 Detroit census. I have found no later record of him and have not been able to locate either a death or marriage record. "Tony" (my grandfather) married an Annie Schmitz and they had one child, Anna. His wife died shortly after giving birth. He then married Emma Kemp of Sparta, WI.and they had four children: Sylvester, Elvera Thresa, Elizabeth and Jerome Charles (my father), all born in Gardena, ND. The family moved to Sparta, WI in the early '20's and Tony and Emma both died and are buried there. Anton is the one I really want to find. I would be grateful for any possible leads or suggestions. Jean I have no information on Maria or Rudy.
