Wilene Smith 3/24/00
Just learned, according to a DAR file, that Peter Sr. had a brother William as well as a son William.The elder William SHAFER was a Private in Capt. VORHEIS' Company, First Battalion, 2nd Continental Establishment of New Jersey.According to this file, he was md. to Katherine KOOLBAUGH, and d. in Butler Co., OH.The Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, v.4, says William is buried near Excello which is just south of Amanda where brother Peter SHAFER settled and is buried.So which brother -- Peter or William -- was actually md. to Katherine / Catherine COOLBAUGH / KOOLBAUGH?
The elder William SHAFER had a dau., Rachel SHAFER, who md. Edward HUNT and appears to be in Wayne Twp., Butler Co., OH, 1820, 1830, and 1840.
