My name is Alexander Phillip SHAFER, (b. Mar 28, 1961) I am the son of: Dilts Lucas SHAFER (b. Jan 14, 1918) the son of: Alexander Phillip Shaffer, (b. Mar 15, 1868) the son of : Phillip R Shaffer, (b. Apr 24, 1828) in Lycoming County Pennsylvania >From his death certificate we learned that Phillip R Shaffer's father’s name was Adam Shaffer, we have very little information on Adam. We believe Adam died in 1831 or 1832 according to family legend as the result of wounds suffered in an Indian attack. We found a will from George Shaffer who died in 1838 (born 1764 probably in Germany possibly in Berks County, Pennsylvania) and left some inheritance to Elizabeth Shaffer who had four children—one of them being Phillip R Shaffer. We believe that George took care of Elizabeth after the death of Adam. Given the age of George we believe he was Adam’s father and probably took care of Adam’s family following Adam’s death. If you have any information on Adam or George or anything further please contact me at [email protected]
