According to a well-documented genealogy compiled by Victor A. Young, 1996, JOHN SCHAEFFER was born 1775, d. 1848 in Westmoreland Co., PA, m. CATHARINA WEIBLE (1784-1872). All of their children were born in Westmoreland Co., and at some point, the spelling of the named was changed to SHAFFER. Children/birth dates: John 1801 Daniel 1803 (my ancestor) Elizabeth 1806 Martha 1808 Sarah 1810 Veronica 1812 Henry 1814 Hannah 1816 Isaac 1819 William 1821 Leah 1823 Mary Ann 1825 Does anyone have any knowledge of this family? According to Mr.. Young in his genealogy, John Schaeffer came to Westmoreland Co. from eastern PA. I'm looking for information on his birth place and parents.
