Searching for descendants of the following people who were in Hancock Co. Vernon Twp. in
the 1870 census:
1. George BEAVER b. abt 1815 and wife Esther
with children Eli, Eliza, Mary, Hannah, Stephen,
and Robert. Also living with them was
2. William A. SHAFFER age 2
Living 2 houses away was
3. Elizabeth SHAFFER widow b. about 1814
and her children Andrew b. 1838, Mary b. 1847,
Adolphus b. 1849, Charles b. 1857 and
Peter b. 1840
Little William A. SHAFFER listed above is probably grandson of the above Elizabeth.
Believe Elizabeth also had children named Pleasant and Rebecca who were older than Andrew.
At least some of them ended up in Caldwell County Missouri over the next 10-20 years.
These families were somehow related to WARDEN and REAGAN (probably WILLIAM REAGAN--who
probably married Rebecca Shaffer listed above.)
Any match???
