Here is the Martin information I have in the database: Martin, born 30 Aug 1724 in Germany. Married 29 Apr 1749 to Elisabeth Catherine Laudenachlager who was born 2 Feb. 1725. Martin was a school teacher. He arrived in Philadelphia on 2 Sep 1749 on the ship "Albany." Their original ship was ship wrecked and they lost everything. The "Albany" rescued them and Martin had to put himself under bond to George Geisinger for their fare. He settled in Upper Milford, Lehigh Co., PA. The children I have information on are: George born ca 1750/60, Peter born ca 1750/60 Valentine born 31 Dec 1765, died 1 Dec 1852 Martin died in 1807 and Elisabeth on 7 Oct 1809. Martin was the son of John Adam and Anna (Hearst) Shaffer. John was born 17 May 1702, died 8 Dec 1742 and was a miller. He was the son of Johann and Elisabeth (Hubner) Shaffer.
