I'm looking for the parents and siblings of David SHAFER bn 1808/9 Stoystown, Somerset
County, PA m. Elizabeth DIBERT bn 1810 Stoystown. He died 1883 in Laughlintown,
Westmoreland County, P and is buried in Laurel Hill cemetery there. His father may have
been Henry SHAFER (a David SHAFER matching the birthdate was baptized at the Stoystown
Lutheran Church. His parents are listed as Heinrich and Barbara, however, that couple
doesn't appear anywhere else in any record.)
The children of David and Elizabeth SHAFER were (I think):
Elizabeth C. bn 1847 m. William Holmes BUELL d. 1883 bur Laurel Hill Cemetery
Laughlintown
David R. bn 1845 died 1852 bur Laurel Hill Cemetery
Mary bn abt 1834 Stoystown m. George PHILLIPPI
Edward bn abt 1836 Stoystown m. Rachel NAUGLE
Rachel bn abt 1838 m. John ALLEN and moved to Auburn, Nebraska where she died
John bn abt 1840 m. Catherine MILLER
Franklin bn 1831 m. Mary CARNS d. 1912 buy Laurel Hill Cemetery
Charles bn abt 1838
Thank you all for your help.
