I find that we had correspondence in Feb of 2000 regarding this family and I do have Valentine Shaffer married to a Margaret Graber who had a daughter Maria. We exchanged info at that time but I am not sure what I sent you. My line dates back to Andrew Sfhaffer who was born in 1757 near Philadelphia. He fought in the Revolutionary war and is buried in a Lutheran Cemetery in Uniontown, OH. Our branch of the family finally settled in Allen Co, IN. Do you have all this info - if not perhaps I can fill you in Let me know what you need and I will be glad to share if it is anything that I have. Ruth
