See AHistory of the Shaffer-Miller Schrawder Families, p34

Rothermel; Catherine, born Feb.2, 1853, married an Adams; Elizabeth, born in 1855, probably diedyoung; Sybilla, born May 25, 1857, married Daniel Klinger; Barbara,born Jan. 1860, married William Leitzel, Anna Jane, born Nov. 4,1862, probably died young; and Emma, born 1863, married a Klinger.Daniel and Frany Snyder Shaffer had the following children: WilliamElsworth, born Sept. 19, 1869, married Mary J.

See AHistory of the Shaffer-Miller Schrawder Families, p34
Daniel lived in Jordan township, where he was a shoemaker and owneda small farm. He is buried at Hebe. His wife was Polly Bohner, and amongtheir children were Sarah, Sevilla and Emma. (There is a Daniel W.Schaffer buried at Hebe, who died July 18, 1905, aged seventy-eightyears, four months, twenty days. "Frany," his wife, died Aug. 16, 1906,aged sixty-one years, two months, twenty-three days.) Floyd, p795
According to tradition, Daniel had four children with his firstwife. He then married a widow with four children and they had fourchildren together. This was related by Minnie Rothermel Smith to BeulahSmith Rebuck. The United States Census records for the years 1850, 1860,1870 and 1880 substantiate this in part. It appears that Daniel had 7children, Frany had 1, and they had 5 together. It appears that Franyhad married a Clark by whom she had 1 child, Catharine.
