Surnames: Sheaffer
I am trying to trace Michael Sheaffer's origins. He first shows up in Lancaster Co, PA in 1789, marrying Rosina Sipe at the German Reformed Church. He has several children baptized. I do not know what township he is living in. About 1800, he pops up (still in Lancaster Co) in Leacock Township, in the tax records and later buying land. He does not appear to belong to the Michael Sheaffer family up in Rapho Township. In 1811/1812, he moves to Hamilton Township, Adams Co with his children. His children are: John, Daniel, Jacob, Benjamin, Michael, Henry, Anna, Susanna, and Elizabeth. Jacob, moves to York Springs, Adams Co, Benjamin stays in Hamilton Twp, but John and Daniel disappear. In 1842, Michael dies. I would love to hear from anyone who has more information.
