I am looking for an Andrew Shafer, born in about 1807, in Penn. who married Mary Smith on January 13, 1842, in Delaware County, IN. Mary died on June 4, 1844, in Delaware County, IN. Andrew married his second wife, Sarah, in about 1859. As the 1860 census states they were married "within the year", but their children are listed at ages 3 - 15! ("Yours, mine, & ours?") If Andrew is a family name & fits in to your tree on a different branch, please let me know. MaryLu in Minnesota >> MaryLu, do you have the names of the children in Indiana? I have traced Adaline Shaffer b. 1842 in MI (my great grandmother) ... back to Indiana. Her father, Elias Shaffer is supposed to be trace-able in Indiana... but I have reached a brick wall...no luck at all. AlvaSue in Texas
