General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Schaeffer
He was one of the pioneer settlers [of Centre County, Pennsylvania?], and may have come into the valley as early as 1791. It is related that on his arrival his household goods were unloaded under the spreading branches of a large oak, which afforded shelter to the family until a temporary cabin could be built. He purchased from Col. Miles.
He was married twice and had fourteen children; the source does not make clear which wife was the mother of which of the children.
