You have some impressive information there. I was wondering how much information you have about the Shaffers (and all the variant spellings) in Pennsylvania prior to the Civil War. I have been searching for a Nancy Shaffer b. 1812 in (probably) Quemahoning Twnshp, Somerset Co. PA for years. Ever heard of her in YOUR Shaffer line? Robin Clawson (different spelling--Isn't that interesting that two separate people with the same name are writing you!?) Anchorage, AK
