Notes:
Sarah, the wife of John Dederick Shafer is possibly the daughter
of John Butters.
The name of her mother is unknown. John Butters was born
in April 1735 in England and died November 20, 1818. Names
for the children of John Dederick Shaffer who married Sarah butters
all match the children and dates of the children of our Dederick
and Sarah Shafer. I haven’t been able to get any solid proof for
this information but it is probably correct. Sarah is found in the
1868 tax roll for
Veteran, Chemung County, New York as Mrs. Dederick Shafer.
So she died after 1868. The last year that Dederick is found in the
tax records is 1869.
Charity Coe, the wife of John Shafer b. 1818 d. 1886 was the daughter of Sheldon Coe and Sally Parmenter. The Coe family originated from England. She was born in 1820 on the Middle Road in Veteran, Chemung Co., NY. Charity and John had 9 children and only 4 of them lived to adulthood.
Ida Chapman the wife of John Shafer Jr. b. 1854 d. 1938 committed
suicide by setting herself on fire. Their son Charles Shafer
was the one that
found her and he had nightmares the rest of his life about what
he found. Ida was the daughter of William and Louisa Chapman.
They are buried in Newton/Sandbank/Van Duzer/ East Sullivanville
Cemetery in Veteran, Chemung Co., NY.
Frances Beardsley , the wife of Charles Shafer b. 1883 d. 1954 was the daughter of David E. Beardsley and Josephine Axtell. David and Josephine are both buried in Maple Grove Cemetery in Horseheads, Chemung Co., NY.
