Surnames: Shaffer, Shaefer, Todd, Sherman, Foster, Garver, Miller, Sullivan, Lehman, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3hGBAEB/736.1 Message Board Post: Bill, Until recently didn't have a clue to my Shaffer G-Uncles of my Grandmother from Ohio. She died in 1934 so I never knew her or them. From the obit of my Grandmother, it was stated one of her brothers was then in CO and another NM. I get confused without my notes so won't mentioned which at the moment. Edgar was the name of one of those brothers and I am not sure of the year of his birth but in 1880's I would guess like my Grandmother. I recently learned the other G-Uncle may have had a different first name than I had known over the years and seems like I may have made a connection. Seems he married, they adopted a child, Anna, and then I think had another child and were divorced. I do have short term memory loss and do get some details wrong without looking right at my notes online. I haven't learned to do both at one time without getting knocked offline. I know Mom told me of being related to Schneider, Snyder too, but she only said it and I knew 2 spellings of the name in Ohio and wasn't sure which she had meant. This has been a long search and finally to get some result. According to the obituary, Grandma had a sister Hattie too and she was a Mrs. Todd at the funeral, but no first name of her husband was given. My G-Aunt was found to be living with her Father at one time under the name Todd. Also in the death records of my Grandmother were stated the names of her parents, of which I already knew the G-Grandmother, but didn't know what Shaffer at the time and now the name B. H. Shaffer, etc aka's as it is even spelled differently on the back of a picture I have of them that may have been at the time of my Grandmother's funeral 1934. If I remember correctly they died soon after my Grandmother. I am told by another I am trying to connect proof, my Colorado Shaffer's did not return from that state. I know very little about my Shaffer line, but did hear that my G-Grandmother had a half sister that married a Shaffer too, Daniel or David and G-Grandma was born 1857, her maiden name being Sherman. Parents Sherman and Foster (aka Faust, Phister, Frost, Snow, Fisher, and many more. I don't know where in Colorado at this time, but am working on it. I don't know of a Greeley there either but will check map quest. Have you heard of being related to Woolley, Miller, Sullivan, Lehman, Lemon, aka's? I believe the surname of my GG-Grandfather's 1st wife was Garver. I do have records of a Laurie by them and not sure of Sylvester son. Garver wife died and he remarried. My GG-Grandfather died in 1881, I think the year my Grandmother was born. Let's talk, would love to hear from you or anyone that recognizes this family.

Surnames: Wright, Shaffer, Lehman, Sherman, Miller, Sullivan, Wooley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3hGBAEB/1002.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Familiar surnames but I don't know much about my Shaffer side of the family at this point. I know my Grandmother was in Shelby Co., OH when she had her first child. I have not located the birth of her parents. I know there was supposed to have been a Grace? Wright married a Lehman, etc in her Mom's line, with Sullivan's, Miller's, Shaffer's too. My G-Grandmother that married a Shaffer had half sibling relation too as her Father was married twice. She was a Sherman to Shaffer. Finding the location of B H Shaffer, etc has been much more difficult for me but I do have a picture of my G-Grandparents Shaffer, etc while on a visit to my Grandmother's in Lima, Allen Co., Ohio where my Grandmother died. I just learned of her final resting place, though it is not where my cousin described it to be. There are no tombstones or markers on the graves but the Sexton of the cemetery verified this was that of my Grandmother with her in-laws. Grandma died in 1934 Ohio. I never knew her. My Grandfather, husband of hers was said to have gone to Toledo, Lucas Co., Ohio and left a child with older siblings and went off to remarrry and I know not whom or where. I think the picture of my G-Grandparents Shaffer, etc was taken late 1920's or early 30's. They are in a photo with the children of my Aunt that died before I was born and I never met that family. I have pictures of them too. One of the daughters of my Grandmother Shaffer, but that being her maiden name. Please all of you keep me in mind, in your searches. Thanks for all of your information.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CAIN, POTTS, McDONALD, DOUGHERTY, PRESTON, TEES, MARTIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3hGBAEB/1002.1.2 Message Board Post: I've just come upon papers with the name Cain in connection with Shaffer and wanted to give you the information in hopes that it might be of some value to your research: Catherine Cain, a resident of 1234 Struthers Street, Philadelphia, PA signed an affidavit in Philadelphia on April 12, 1865. The affidavit was an acknowledgment of Catherine Cain and Joseph E. Preston, a resident of Hamilton Street below 19th Street, Phila that they witnessed the signature of Amanda C. (SHAFFER) Potts on a Widow's Application for Civil War Pension. Additionally. Joseph E. Preston, formerly a soldier in Co A. 95th Regiment of the Pennsylvania states for the record that he was a prisoner of war with Edward M. Potts at Andersonville Prison in Georgia. Mr. Preston says they were both in the same ward and that he "nursed and took care of him while he was sick and was with him and saw him die". Amanda C. Shaffer Potts' husband, Edward M. Potts, who served in Co. H, 183rd Reg't. Penna Volunteers during the Civil War had been captured at the battle of Spottsylvania on May 6,1864 and placed in Andersonville Prison as a POW. Edward M. Potts died on or about August 27, 1864 while at Andersonville Prison and Amanda was filing for a Widow's Pension. The pension papers just sent me by the NARA contain quite a bit of information including the fact that Amanda C. Shaffer married Edward M. Potts on Febuary 1, 1858 in Philadelphia, PA. Those records come from St. George's M. E. Church. Amanda C. Shaffer Potts is shown in the 1850 Census of North Mulberry Ward in the household of George W. Shaeffer, 49, Shoe Maker, born PA. Also listed in same household are Catherine Schaeffer, 51; Elisabeth Schaeffer, 25; Sarah Schaeffer, 17; Susanna Schaeffer, 14; Henry Schaeffer, 7; George Schaeffer 10/12 and Thomas McDonald, 5 - all born in Pennsylvania. By 1870 Amanda Shaffer Potts, widow, with her two children, Pauline and Charles and George Martin, 15, and John Dougherty, 14 along with Susanna (Shaffer / Schaeffer) Tees... a sister to Amanda and Susanna's husband, Charles Tees are living at 1277 Struthers St, Phila with Catherine Shaffer, widow of George Schaeffer / Shaffer. McElroy's Philadelphia Directory for 1860, 1861, 1863, 1864 lists a SHAFFER, George W., shoemaker at 1241 Struthers St then by 1870 and 1875 only Catherine Shaffer, widow of George W. Shaffer appears on the listings. By 1890 Directory a John ORR, cutter, is living at 1241 Struthers Street. So, at the very least the Cain and Shaffer families have both been identified with Struthers Street in Philadelphia, PA about 1864-1870. Incidentally the 1860 and 1861 directories also show that Edward POTTS, harnessmaker, lives at the same address of 1241 Struthers Street. Though Edward Potts is shown as harnessmaker in the 1860 directory, the 1860 census calls his occupation saddler. Anybody recognize any of these family members?
