Graham (1883), p. 358-359 SHAEFFER, JACOB G., of Madison township, was born September 28, 1794, in York county, Pennsylvania. His father, Samuel Shaeffer, came, in the year 1802, and settled on land now owned by Israel Shaeffer. His wife, Elizabeth Gilbert, died when Jacob was but five years old. The children were Elizabeth, John, Andrew, Samuel G. and George, who died when young. Mr. Shaeffer was married the secondtime when about eighty years old, but left no issue by this marriage. When they first built a cabin they had no floor to it, nor was it daubbed, and in this they lived for a time. Some three years after they came, the first still house in the township was built on this farm, and manufactured the best of whisky. These were the days of corn husking, grubbing, rolling logs, etc. Jacob G. Shaeffer sometimes worked out, receiving for his compensation the magnificent sum of three dollars a month. Went to Baltimore when young with a drove of hogs, and had not his girl been left behind, would have staid in Pennsylvania; but returned to get her in due time, and when not quite twenty years of age married, and she not sixteen. It was a love affair begun August 30, sixty-eight years ago, and not yet consumated. After the nuptial feast of this young couple, they walked into their new home the next day, where they have resided since. Mrs. Shaeffer is now eighty-four years old, is in a helpless condition, and has lost her eye sight. Mr. Shaeffer is in his eighty-eighth year of his age and does still drive a span of fractious horses. The couple have pulled well together all through life, are now in possession of considerable landed estates, and are at luxurious ease in their old age. Doctor Shaeffer, of Circleville, Ohio, is their son.
