Note:
From Tim Doyle's "Stauffer Genealogy" web site:
(From the Shirk genealogy): In 1735, Jacob (Shirk mistakenly says "Henry", a mistake made in many sources) married Magdelana Hess of the same county; and from this union eleven children were born. Of these we have secured the record of only one son, Abraham, whose descendants form the subject of this Memoranda. There is no existing record for his family except that the issue was three sons and three daughters. In the spring of 1792, he removed to the vicinity of Chambersburg, Franklin county, PA, where many of his descendants reside. In the same year, he, with his two sons-in-law, Metz and Shetter, purchased a tract of land a mile west of Chambersburg from Patrick Vance; also a property adjoining from James Jack, of Chambersburg, in order to secure the water-right for a mill which Stauffer contemplated building. They paid four pounds and ten shillings per acre ($21.78) which at that time was thought to be a most extravagant price. Out of the two tracts of land they made three farms; one for Metz, and one for Shetter; Stauffer keeping the middle tract for the flouring mills, which he built about 1793, and which were operated by his direct descendants for ninety years; and from whom the present village of Stoufferstown received its name. (This latter from records by Abraham Stauffer).
