V-6478- HANNAH PRICE (3905), b. April 25, 1789 d. Aug 15, 1863; married ____, John, son of Abraham and Barbara (Hershey) Stouffer (Stauffer), b. Nov 30, 1787 d. July 22, 1867

Abraham Stouffer was a son of Henry and Magdalena (Hess) Stauffer; grandson of Johannes Stauffer and Kinget Heistand, widow of Michael Risser, to whom he was married in 1685. Johannes was born 1650-1655 at Alzheim on the Rhine, near Zurich, Switzerland.

They were Mennonites and were persecuted by the Zwinglians on account of their faith and driven from their lands. In this strait all the family except the oldest daughter emigrated to America. They left their home Nov. 5, 1709, sailed down the Rhine from Weissennan on Nov 8th, and reached London, Jan 20, 1710, whence they came to America in the spring of the same year. They settled on the Schuylkill River at or near Valley Forge in Chester County.

Johannes father was Daniel Stauffer, a descendant of the ancient House of Hohenstauffen, in Swabia, a generation of knights called Stauffacher, who at the time of the freeing of Switzerland by William Tell, were wealthy farmers and rendered great assistance. He was born at Alzheim or Weissenham, near Zurich, about 1630.

Abraham Stouffer, in the spring of 1792, settled in the vicinity of Chambersburg, Pa., where he purchased several farms and built a flour mill in 1793, the latter was operated by his direct descendants for ninety years and from whom the present village of Stoufferstown received its name.
