Alex,
I'll tell you about the book and you can revise the material to
suit your web page:
THE LOYAL AMERICANS
SHAVER EMIGRANTS TO CANADA
This is the story of three different Schaeffer/Shaver families
that remained loyal to England during the American Revollutionary War,
1775-1783, settling in Dundas and Stormont Counties, Ontario, Canada.
The first family, descendants of Maria Elizabeth Schaeffer, were
Maria Schaeffer, 1750-1833, who married Jacob Merkle, and Johannes
Schaeffer, 1751-1828, both children of Adam Schaeffer and Maria Magdalena
Hilts; Nicolas Schaeffer, 1752-1838 and Friederick Schaeffer, 1760-1818,
both sons of Johannes Schaeffer, Jr. and Anna Gerdraut Staring. These
family members are documented in baptisms and marriages at St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, Schoharie, Schoharie Co., NY.
The members of the second family were descendants of Nicholas
Shaver, c.1726-c.1805, who was born in Nassau, Germany. Nothing is known
about his place of German origin, what year he came to America or where
he first settled. The first reference to him and his family were
baptisms of his children at Trinity Lutheran Church, Stone Arabia, Town
of Palatine, Montgomery Co., NY USA.
The members of the third family were descendants of Philip
Shaver, Sr., 1731-1805, who was born in Germany. Nothing is known about
his place of German origin, what year he came to America or where he
first settled. The first reference to him and his family were baptisms
of his children at Caughnawaga Reformed Church, Fonda, Town of Mohawk,
Montgomery Co., NY USA.
There is no proof that members of the first family are related to
either of the other two families or that the second and third families
are related to each other, so we have three unrelated families moving to
Canada before, during and after the American Revolutionary War.
This book contains 146 Schaeffer descendants of the first family,
Maria Elizabeth Schaeffer, 120 descendants of Maria, 506 of Johannes, 834
of Nicholas and 2,010 of Frederick; 868 of Nicholas Shaver, the second
family and 1,188 of Philip Shaver, the third family, a total of 5,489
Shavers and their spouses.
This book is one volume, soft cover, perfect bound, contains 896
pages and an every name index.
Copies of the book are $47.50, plus $5 shipping in the USA, total
$52.50 or $15 shipping to Canada, total $62.50, all USA money, check or
money order.
