My Grandfather was Ralph Shaffer born July 16, 1890. His Father was Sam Shaffer b unknown and died in May 1890. We have no sibling info for Sam and I haven't found him on a census record yet. Sam married Dolly Carson, adopted by Benjamin and Leah Carson. Dolly was born Sept 26, 1869 and died Feb 16, 1941. She married again to Edward Caldwell and had 3 daughters. Dolly lived in the PA. Ralph & Mabel lived in Lander, Warren Co., PA and raised 12 children. My Mom is the 3rd youngest. I put Sam's birthdate as ca 1865-1869 because of Dolly's birthdate. If you find that picture of Sam, please let me know. /s/ Sally Chase
