Thanks for the information on George Schaeffer.My notes show two burials in "Burials at Trexlertown Union Church" Jacob Shuler b.1/2/1763, d.10/1/1830 and Maria Shaffer Shuler b.12/27/1765, d.11/21/1837.
I have a copy of a will of George Shaffer registered on 5/23/1825 which I believe mentions his daughter Maria wife of Jacob Shuler.I am not certain because it is in old German script. I also have a copy of an indenture of land from George Shaeffer to Jacob Shuler dated the "sixth day of October in the Year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five and in the thirtieth year of the American independency". Said land "situate on the little Lehigh" and bordering lands of Andrew Eisenhard, John Jarrett, and Phillip Diefenderfer, containing "one hundred and eight acres and one half"
I also have a copy of the petition of Jacob Shuler "oldest son and heir at law of Jacob Shuler late of Macungie township."
It states that "father died intestate on or about the first day of October last past, leaving a widow named Mariia and issue elevenchildren towit Jacob, thepetitioner, William, George, Samuel, Polly intermarried with Anthony Lechlietner, Margaret late the wife of Andrew Eisenhart dec, Catharine who was the wife of Henry Eisenhart, but is dec and left issue one child named Catherine, Charlotte the wife of Joseph Oberholtzer, Elizabeth the wife of Samuel Oberholtzer, Sarah the wife of Jacob Reily and Leah."
The land involved included a parcel of "one hundred eighty five acres more or less" which bordered on lands of Solomon Dieffenderfer and Solomon Jarrett (among others)
I also have a copy of the will of Maria shuler "widow" dated 10/27/1837.She leaves specific household items to "my daughter Leha, the wife of Elias Klotz", "my son Jacob Shuler", "my grand daughter Eliza Shuler" and "my grandson Moses Shuler." The executor was "my brother Frederick Shaffer"
I also have some baptismal records and communicant listings for these Shulers.
