I've got John Edgar Shaffer b. 1851 in Hamburg, Germany who married Elizabeth Ross from New York City. First child wasn't born until 1898 (Maltilda Shaffer). They moved to Allegany, New York and both died there. Family story says John Edgar came to US ca 1876 with 2 other brothers but family lost contact with them. Vicki =======Gibson Co.
