I can not even begin to tell you of the links to Proffer family I would have.I have a book that some distant relatives compiled with the Proffer names beginning with John Proffer born in Germany 1758.He was a "bound boy" to a blacksmith.He traveled with this man's family to Pennsylvania probably Philadelphia seaport.
Where do you live?There is a copy of this book in the Jackson Genealogy section of the Riverside Library.This book has in excess of 1500 names.Let me know what information I can get you started with.Your John Proffer is one of 10 siblings.
John's older brother, Moses, also named his son, George Washington Proffer.I must tell you this family mainly stayed in the same area and distant cousins married.So I am related on FOUR different Proffer lines.Please don't hesitate to email me personally at [email protected].
