Hi folks, I've been lurking for a while on the list because I only had 1 SCHAFFER, and didn't feel I had enough to post, but last week I found some of her family in church records. SCHAFFER is, of course, spelled about 6 different ways... Margretha was baptised at the New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, and the other Schaffer children were baptised at St Paul's Lutheran in Red Hill (Montgomery County). Elizabeth SCHAFFER and Jacob UPDEGROVE are my 4th great grandparents; the *s are my direct line. Here they are; any connections? robin -------------------------------------- Descendants of William Schaffer *1 William Schaffer b: Bef. 1775 d: Unknown *. +Elizabeth ? b: Bef. 1775 d: Unknown ..2 Margretha Schaffer b: Sep 6, 1792 *.2 Elizabeth Schaffer b: Dec 2, 1796 d: Oct 14, 1881 *...+Jacob Updegrove b: May 27, 1798 Oley, PA d: Nov 8, 1873 Berks, PA .....3 Beneville (Benwal) Updegrove b: 1821 .....3 Sarah Ann Updegrove b: Jan 9, 1821 d: Aug 13, 1846 .......+Samuel Weitner b: Unknown Oley PA m: Oct 16, 1842 .....3 William Schaffer Updegrove b: Jan 18, 1823 d: Feb 20, 1899 .......+Elizabeth Bauer/Bower b: Apr 27, 1822 m: Oct 25, 1846 d: May 11, 1912 .....3 Elizabeth Updegrove b: 1828 .......+William Emory b: Unknown *....3 Levi Schaffer Updegrove b: Dec 16, 1830 d: Oct 22, 1899 Union, Berks, PA *......+Sophia Davidheiser b: Mar 9, 1826 m: Feb 17, 1850 d: Aug 5, 1894 .....3 Henrietta Updegrove b: 1836 .....3 Frederick Schaffer Updegrove b: Jan 16, 1837 d: Mar 12, 1912 .......+Mary Ann Shurr b: Mar 17, 1864 m: Abt. 1884 d: Jul 5, 1916 .....3 Harriet (Weidner) Updegrove b: Abt. 1844 .. 2 Catharine Schaffer b: Apr 15, 1798 .. 2 Sara Schaffer b: Mar 21, 1800 .. 2 Georg Michael Schaffer b: Jun 17, 1802
