Hiram b & d in Paint Twp had a son Daniel who was born abt 1868 - d 1930 married Bertha Hammer which doesn't appear to match the Daniel you are searching.

Indiana Co & m Margaret E Stake with whom he had the following children, Torrence Blair, Wilda, Benjamin Ernest, Hulda, & Wilber Henry. Torrence, s/o Jacob) was my father in law and the above is an outline of the direct line I am researching. Torrence b 1897 Brush Valley - d 1993 Penn Run, Cherry Hill Twp, Indiana Co & m Grace Coy - b 1897 - 1979. Note: as of yet I do not have any primary sources to confirm the above. I don't think any of this may be a help but maybe you can find a link. In the past, and I do not remember where, but I did come across some Shaffers who were in Bedford Co. but do not have any info on them. Happy and successful hunting. Sally
