Note: This family has no real connection to mine, but this is my research.

Looking for more info on the orgins of the following family line:

1  Henry Shaffner m. Sarah _______
..2  John Shaffner b.2-7-1825
.....3  George Washington Shaffner b.2-22-1856
........4  Rosa Lee Shaffner b.10-29-1889 m. _______ Townsend.
             Living descendants.

Family history says they started in PA....moved on to OH..then to IL...finally ending up in TX.

Research:

Try to locate John Shaffner in 1860...maybe OH? Only 2
hopeful entries in the index, neither had a son, George of the
