A survey was made for this 50 acres 20 Sep 1742 and referred to the warrant and stated that Henry was then of Lancaster county.

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).

(Perkiomen Creek flows through Berks and Montgomery counties) (Stauffer/Bauer book by Henry Bower, 1897) After Jacob was married, the area where he settled was one vast wilderness, and a remnant of an Indian tribe resided there. He was one of the first settlers and original purchaser of a plantation in that neighborhood, which adjoined the one on which the Roman Catholic chapel was afterward erected. At that time he took his grain on horseback to a gristmill somewhere below Norristown, a distance of twenty miles.
