Shirley,
Do you have 1860/1870 census records books from Southern Ohio Gen. Soc.?
1860 Census, Hamer Twp., film page 180, (all born in Ohio):
SHAFER,
Eli, 43, farmer
Maria, 41
Robert C., 17
John, 16
Ira, 14
Rachel, 12
Isaac, 10
Mary, 8
Sarah, 6
William, 3
1870 census, Hamer Twp, film page 111
SHAFFER,
Eli, 53, auctioneer
Maria, 50, keeping house
Isaac, 19, works on farm
Henry, 17, works on farm
Jane, 15, at home
William, 12, works on farm
Louisanna, 9, at home
Augustus, 7, at home
John, 26, carpenter
That's 12 names for children. Sarah and Jane may be same person. Sarah Jane Shaffer married Stepehn McDavidson, Jr., on 11 Feb. 1872. That leaves 11, unless Mary and Henry are the same person. Sometimes names and sexes were recorded wrongly.
good luck,
Steve
