Subject: Re: [PALANCAS] JACOB SHAFFER MARRIAGE
Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2000 15:34:57 -0600 (CST)


To both Joes & anyone else with Shafer
,
I am also looking for a marriage of a Jacob Shafer, but to a Catharine.
Not sure of her maiden name, but it looks like MILLER. She was born in
1768, so the marriage would have been 1785 + or - a year or two. Did you
find any Jacob's with wife Catharine?
Catharine had a son by a marriage to a BRINKER in 1786, so there may be a
marriage for that, too.
Any help would be appreciated. This is one of my "brick walls"!
