I thought since it was the new year, I would repost my Shaffer Family. Haven't done that for a while. John SHAFFER b. 14 June 1769 in Berks Co. PA. He married Eva Marea THOMAS in 1794 in Stouchsburg, Marion Twp., Berks Co. PA. About 1803 the family went to Huntingdon Co. PA and founded Shaffersville, and helped to start the Lutheran Church there. (Water Street is an old, old village about 2 miles or so from Shaffersville) John and Eva had five children: (1) Jacob b. 1795 married Elizabeth FETTERHOFF (2) John b. 1797 married Margaret FETTERHOFF. (3) Adam b. 1800 married Elizabeth LOWE. (4) Peter b. 1803 married Elizabeth KELLER. (5) William b. 1806 married Catherine Hileman. I have further inf. on all the children. Would be pleased to hear from other descendants. I have been trying to find the parents of John Sahffer b. 1769. I think I have surely looked at all Berks Co. births, but can't find John. I've come close but no proof. Connie Mateer
