He was born in 1858 and died in 1949 and was married to Harriet Mansfield. Their son, Sheridan was my great-grandfather. Sheridan and his wife Cynthia lived just outside of Morgantown when my grandmother was growing up and later they moved to Maryland >> Hello Wendy, I am researching the Shaffer family as well. The only problem is that I only know of one! Elizabeth Shafer/Shaffer/Shaver (many different spellings found) who was born around 1826. She married William McBee in 1850 in Monongalia Co. I'd like very much to know about her family. Do you know of any Elizabeth Shafers in your tree??? Thanks, Jill
