Greetings. We just went on-line at Christmas and were excited to find the Shaefer web site as I have been working on our genealogy and hit a wall. Hope someone can help. We know Samuel Shaeffer (b. between 1775 & 1760, d.?1830) came to the Lancaster, OH area from Lancaster, PA area in 1802. We aren't sure but think his father was Martin (approx 1730-1790) and his grand- father was Philip (d.1758). We'd love any info on the PA connection or earlier (which Shaeffer, Shaffer, Schieffer, etc. came from Germany and where they landed in the US). Thanks, D. Shaeffer Bootes [email protected]
