Adam Shaver, NY

I have that information and a photo.
The parents of Adam were Philip and Elizabeth Hofman (Hoffman)(cf Gallatin Reformed Chruch Baptism Record 4/5/1789, Gallatinville, NY). Adam was a soldier in the War of 1812 - NY Militia, Capt Jeremiah Brown's company, serving from Sept to Dec 1814.
The parents of Philip were Johann Adam Schaffer and Gertrude Feller.
The parents of Johann Adam were Jost Henrich Schaffer and Susanna Agnes Seibel Backes (aka Agnes).
Jost came from Germany in 1708. See the Fort Klock records at http://threerivershms.com/Contents.htmhttp://threerivershms.com/Contents.htm. He was born in Germany in 1674. No record of his parents has been found.
