Space families in PA

Surnames: Space, Shaffer, Schaefer
I am looking for any family connection to my great-grandmother, Melissa Jane Space (?-1889), who was in Clarion County during the mid to late 1800's. She was married to John Wincharles Shaffer (Schaefer) and lived in New Behtlehem, PA in 1885 where her son (my grandfather, John Franklin Shaffer) was bord on 15 Jan. There may also be a connection to Allegheny County where she is buried.

There is a member, Della Schaeffer (spelling?) who has done research on the SPACE family. Maybe she can help you. Check out member names and send her a message.
If I find her email, I'll let you know.

Hello... I don't have a record of this Melissa in any of my collected SPACE material, but I expect she came from the John SPACE, 1757-1813 & Abigail MOTT, 1760-1839 line. They settled in Pennsylvania and I think many of their descendents remained there.
