Abraham Stofer, b. 1808, and died 1886 Married Barbara Bearinger
The census of 1880, Pike Township, OH,shows MY Abraham Stofer/Stauffer's family. It gives Abraham's age at 72, and his wife Barbar(y)-Barbara as age 66.The children of the family match, thus leading me to know now that Abraham's birth year is 1808, and Barbara Bearinger Stofer's birth year as 1814.
Mathias' sonGeorge Stover/Stauffer who has the birth year of March 21, 1808 in Virginia,would have possibly been aa twin brother to my Abraham?I am thinking that this is not so.Interested Stauffer researchers have given me the information that my Abraham is the son of Mathias Stauffer born in 1783 and Catherine Fisher, I am leaning now that my Abraham Stauffer is not the son named Abraham who is part of Mathias Stauffer's family.Since George Stover was born in Virginia,and I was given my family history information from family members that my Abraham was born in Northhampton Co. PA. This is not consistent nor is it accepted any more by me that Mathias is the father to my Abraham."Since the copy of the 1880 census verifies that my Abraham Stofer/Stauffer was born in Pennsylvania.Something is just not "jiving" with my family history as I have it at this time.Can anbody help me? I would dearly love to know for sure my lineage.I absolutely thought I was on the right track, and so did many others, I am not so sure at all any more, NOW. Pat
