Am seeking further information on a William J. Schreffler listed as a carpenter in the 1878 Dallas City Directory. An ancestor, William J. Schreffler, was a carpenter in Wilson County Kansas in 1870 and it's known that at least two of his children lived in Texas later (c. 1900). I'm hypothesizing that the William J. Schreffler in Dallas is the same person and am trying to verify his move to Texas. William J. Schreffler (1843-1898) m. Matilda Caroline Heitz (1847 - ?). Children - Ida E., William C., Charles E., Wade W. Charles E. Schreffler played baseball in the El Paso League in 1902. Wade W. Schreffler's son, Willie, was born in Texas in 1909. Died in Scroggins, Franklin County, Texas in 1994. Wade's daughter, Eda Mae, married Edgar Chew of El Paso. She died in Austin, Tx in 1989. The Schrefflers are descendents of Johann Heinrich Schreffler of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Any help appreciated! Martha Schreffler
