Maybe we can all solve some mysteries.I believe you are all looking for a Catherine SHEFFLER, not ROW. I see on some postings she is shown as Catherine ROW or RAU, can anyone verify anything for me?
I could be wrong and I'd love to prove or disprove this link to my lines!Do you have marriage or death records for Catherine showing her parents??
I've never found marriage records for Michael and Catherine but I've always assumed Catherine was the only daughter of Philip Sheffler in Westmoreland County.
I have a Michael Spindler and wife Catherine and kids living with Philip Sheffler in the 1850 census:
Philip Sheffler, 44, head;
Michael Spindler, 30
Catherine Spindler, 25
George Spindler, 6
Hezekiah Spindler, 4
Rebecca Spindler, 2
They are all living a few doors down from Philip's brother Frederick Sheffler, my 3rd great grandfather.
I thought Catherine was an only child of Philip and I've been trying to follow the Spindler line down.Perhaps they were just living with Philip, renting??
By the way, I have been able to follow some of this Spindler family through a number of generations, if you need any info let me know.
