Hi!
Just joined this list and hope someone can help. My WILLIAM SHAFFER was
born in Tipton Co. IN July 30, 1868. He left there sometime in the next
12 years and migrated to Caldwell Co. Missouri (northwest MO) without his
parents. He was taken in and raised in Caldwell Co. MO by PLEASANT
SHAFFER and his wife SARAH DIDDLE, who had migrated from Indiana earlier.
We are unsure of the relationship between Pleasant and WIlliam, but we
know it was not father/son. It is even possible that WILLIAM was not
born a SHAFFER and that he took on the name of the SHAFFER family who
raised him. We have no idea what happened to his parents or why he came
to MO.
We do know that he had a half brother named AMSIE WORDEN (or WARDEN) and
another half brother named BILL REAGAN (or REGAN). BILL REAGAN served in
the Civil War in Indiana, but ultimately came to Missouri also and is
buried next to WILLIAM SHAFFER and his wife.
Anyone have any connection to any of these names?
