The family is mentioned in "Mehaffie Descendants" 1914, Harrisburg,Pa.They were from Shermansdale, Perry County, Pennsylvania.James is listed as being "Of New Bloomfield" (page 86)
I suspect that, like the Smileys, they were from "Ulster", and the family probably originally came from Scotland.This ethnic gropu is called "Scots Irish" in Pennsylvania, and "Ulster Scots" in Canada.
