My grandfathers name was Walter E. Shaffer and ggrandfathers name was Walter Shaffer and gggrandfathers name was Joshua Shaffer. Walter Shaffer, ggrandfather married Catherine Ireland. Walter and spouse Catherine Ireland migrated and lived in Linn County, Kansas. He was a farmer and so was Walter E Shaffer my grandfather. Joshua Shaffer and Walter Shaffer were from Ohio. If you have any ideas for me or know anything about this family could you please return my message. Thank you so much.
