TOMBSTONE: Inscription reads: "Barney
Shafer, Died Sept 9, 1869, aged 73 yrs 5 mos 24 days"
CENSUS: 1860 USA Gives his age
as 69. This would make his d/o/b, 1791, not 1796. This is incorrect, though.
Barney married (MRIN:17) Polly

CENSUS: 1860 USA Gives her age
as 64 years. This would make her d/o/b 1796 and not 1792. It almost seems
that Barney's and Polly's dates of birth
are switched, his 1792, instead of 1796, and hers 1796, instead of 1792.

BIRTH: Gravestone of John Empie
reads: "Sophia Shafer, his wife, Mar 17, 1789 - Sept 17, 1865."
PARENTS: (Barbara Empie Greene)
Uncertain. Was she the daughter of Marcus Schaeffer and Annaje Kniskern of
Schoharie? They had a daughter, Sophia, baptized in 1791, who would be about
the right age, but there are difficulties
with this placement because of the dates involved. That baptism was recorded
as follows:
BAPTISM: Recorded: St. Paul's Lutheran
Church, Schoharie, Schoharie Co., NY USA. Sophia, b. 17 Mar 1791, bp.
10 Apr 1791. Parents: "Marcus Schaeffer, Anna" Sponsors: "Johannes Kniskern,
Sofia Kniskern" If this is the same Sophia
and she was actually born in 1789, as per tombstone, then there is an unusually
long time between her birth and baptism.
On the other hand, perhaps the tombstone date is in error. We know that the
gravestone was erected at least 45 years
after Sophia's death, since it also lists the dates of death for her son,
Gideon, and his wife. By then the correct
date of her birth may have been forgotten. (BEG)
MARRIAGE: There is a marriage recorded
at the Reformed Church of Lawyersville, T-Cobleskill, Schoharie Co., NY
(formerly German Reformed Church in New Rhinebeck, T-Sharon, Schoharie Co.,
NY.): "John Empie married Sophia Shaver,
25 Oct 1808." Is this a record for the marriage of the Sophia born 1789, or
of Sophia, born 1791, or are both Sophias
the same person? There are several indications that these two Sophias might
be one and the same.
1. We can find no records of a
birth for another Sophia in this time frame. 2. It is highly unlikely that
2 Sophias would marry 2 John Empies about
the same time, especially since we can find no record of a second marriage,
or a John Empie of the right age who was
unmarried in 1808. 3. The second son in Sophia and John Empie of Sharon's
family is named "Marcus." This was the
first time this named appeared in the Empie family, but it is the name of
the
father of the Sophia born in 1791. Until evidence is found to the contrary,
we are placing Sophia as a daughter of
Marcus Schaeffer. (HWW)
CHILDREN: Grace Empie's records
list Gideon, Rev. Marcus, Mariah, Nancy and Sophia as children of John Empie
and Sophia Shaver.
BURIAL: Slate Hill Cemetery, T-Sharon,
Schoharie Co., NY USA. Spelling of surname on tombstone is "Shafer". (BEG)
Sophia married (MRIN:244) John
"John of Sharon" EMPIE Jr.-6021,
son of Johannes EMPIE-1350 and Anna Maria
KILTS-1275 (MRIN:659), on 25 Oct 1808 in Cobleskill, Schoharie Co., NY, USA.

in , , NY, USA. He died 26 Nov 1863 in
Sharon, Schoharie Co., NY, USA and was buried 29 Nov 1863 in Sharon,
Schoharie Co., NY, USA.
BIRTH: Edith Becker, p 3 says:
"John of Sharon", b. 2-10 1775, d. 11-26-1863" Tombstone reads: "John Empie,
Feb 10, 1775 - Nov. 26, 1863" "Mary Taily,
his wife, died Apr. 9, 1807, aged 27 yrs." "Sophia Shafer, his wife, Mar
17, 1789 - Sep 17, 1865."
NOTE: Known as "John of Sharon"
Empie.
DOCUMENTATION: Edith Becker's genealogy
of the Empie Family published before 1962 places "John of Sharon"
in the family of Johan Jacob Empey, who was the youngest son of Johannes Empie
and Elizabeth Snell. E. Keith Fitzgerald
in his 1984 genealogy and David Kendall Martin's, SNELL FAMILY, p. 53, have
followed Mrs. Becker's lead, both also
listing John as the oldest son of Johan Jacob and Barbara Bayer. (BEG) (BEG)
However, my family tradition has always
been Kilts oriented, saying that he was the son of Johannes Empie and Anna
Maria Kilts. We now have 3 pieces of evidence
that prove that the latter placement is correct. Since no churchbook birth
record could be found for John's birth
in 1775 (possibly because of the upheaval in the area where he was born due
to the Revolutionary War), other records
were needed for proof of his parentage. With the help of David Kendall Martin,
the original documentation that Edith Becker used was re-examined. It was
at once evident that the entry had been
mis-quoted. The reference, AMERICAN ANCESTRY, Vol. II:36, 1887 reads: "Empie,
Marcus William of Churchtown, b. 1824
(m. 1846 Sarah A. Kling); son of John of Sharon, NY, b. 1775, d. 1864 (m.
Sophia Shaver); son of John of Palatine,
b. 1744, d. 1824 (m. ______ Snell); of Huguenot descent." This quote clearly
puts John of Sharon in the family of John
of Palatine,not in the family of his brother, Jacob. (Note that the author
has confused the two Johannes Empies and
has listed the wife of John of Palatine as "______ Snell," when she was in
fact the wife of Johannes' father, Johannes
Empie of Stone Arabia.) (BEG) The deeds for the original Sharon Empie
farm also provide evidence for this placement. The first deed covers the sale,
for the sum of $200.00, of 100 acres of
land designated as part of Lot 14 of the Lawyers' Patent. The indenture was
contracted between "John Empea, of the
Town of Sharon in the County of Schoharie and the State of New York, Farmer,
party of the first part, and my son John
Empea, Jr., of the above mentioned place aforesaid, Farmer, of the second
part." This deed was dated, July 24, 1807.
The second deed read the same, but covered the sale of Lot 13 and was dated
February 20, 1815. The dates on these
two deeds make it impossible for Johan Jacob to have been the John Empea who
sold the farm to his son, for Johan Jacob
was killed at the Battle of Oriskany in August of 1777, 30 years earlier!
(BEG) There is one other piece of evidence
which helps establish John's parentage. It is contained in a story handed
down through the Empie family and recorded by Grace Diefendorf Empie in her
family record, WHO'S WHO TO ME. "John
Empie's father, with his little son, John, was near Schoharie Fort one day
when he realized unfriendly Indians were
following him. He stealthily hid little John under the potato vines in the
field, then went right on through the
field. The Indians caught him and scalped him without hitting him in the head
first, as they usually did. As soon as
possible, he crawled to the Fort and told them of his son. They at once went
to the potato field, and found the little
boy patiently lying under the vines waiting for his father's return as he
had been told to do." This story could
not have happened if Jacob had been the father of the little boy, John, because
John, born Feb 10, 1775, would have been
about 2 1/2 years of age when Jacob died, Aug 7, 1777 at Oriskany. For a child
that young to be that far from home the
summer of 1777 (when potato vines were thick) was unlikely, and it would be
even more unlikely that a 2 year old could
lie hiding for a long period of time without crying or moving. It would,however,
be possible for an older child to do so. (Barbara Empie Greene)

6 Sep 1803, is listed in Cady Records, I-269. # 2 - Recorded: Reformed Church,

DOCUMENTATION: HISTORY OF SCHOHARIE
CO., 1882, by Wm. E. Roscoe, p xii, reads: "Gideon Empie, whose
father is John I. Empie." Gideon Empie was John of Sharon's son by his second
wife, Sophia Shafer. It was John of Sharon's
son by his first wife, Mary Taily, who was named John Isaac Empie, and was
always referred to as "John I. Empie",
whereas his father was known as "John Empie of Sharon". (BEG)
BIOGRAPHICAL: Accounts of John
of Sharon and his son, John Isaac, are given by Rev. Marcus Kling, in the
book, "A REUNION OF MINISTERS AND CHURCHES,
HELD AT GARDNERVILLE, May 14-17, 1881," Pub. Philadelphia,
Pa., Lutheran Publication Society, 1881. Under the section, p. 162, "Memories
of our Departed", Rev. Kling writes: JOHN
EMPIE In some respects he was a remarkable man; and divine grace made him
just what he was, a burning shining light
in the world and a power in the church. As early as 1808, being then about
thirty-three years of age, after a long
and fearful struggle, he found Christ precious to his soul. At that period,
as related by him, spiritual darkness
hung over the churches, and experimental piety was unthought of by the many
and professed by very few. Hence in his
troubled state of mind, he hardly knew the nature of his anxieties, whom to
consult, or where to find relief. But
the Lord by His spirit was surely leading him in the way he knew not of, and
finally brought him into the light and
liberty of the gospel of Christ. He was remarkable for his unwavering, undeviating
perseverance in the course of piety from that time till the day of his death.
With him religion was a living, controlling
principle, to be carried out in all the activities and relations of life.
That responsibility he accepted, and in
a remarkable degree carried out, without turning to the right or the left.
He was remarkable for the controlling
and lasting influence he exerted over others; probably no other lay member
in the church excelled him in this respect.
He had this power with men because he had power with God, and lived pre-eminently
a holy life. Twenty years after his conversion,
at the time brother Wieting became his pastor, he found him one of the few
praying souls in the church. He labored
and prayed until he saw multitudes around him converted and gathered into
the church; and when he died, he not only saw his own children, but nearly
all his children's children, members of
the flock of Christ. Though he passed away from earth some eighteen years
ago, to reap the rewards of heaven, his
influence on earth remains, and will continue through future generations."
(The church referred to here was the Evangelical
Lutheran Church of Seward at Gardnersville, NY, Philip Wieting Pastor.) (Barbara
Empie Greene)

Town of Sharon, Schoharie Co., NY. John's father, Johannes Empie, moved to
Sharon from Stone Arabia in about 1800
where all of his children including John had been born. He sold the Sharon
farm to son John on 24 July 1807, just
before John's first wife, Mary Tally died. Thus, John was living there after
1807 and all of his children by his second
wife, Sophia Shaver (Shafer) would have been born there.
BURIAL: Slate Hill Cemetery, T-Sharon,
Schoharie Co., NY USA.
John and Sophia had the following
children:
+ 1341 F i. Maria
(Mariah) EMPIE-8522 was born
20 Mar 1809 and died 1892.
1342 F ii. Anna
Nancy EMPIE-8524 was born
13 Dec 1810 in Sharon, Schoharie Co., NY,USA
and was christened 16 Jan 1811. She died 1889 in Sharon, Schoharie Co.,
NY,USA and was buried 1889 in Sharon,
Schoharie Co., NY, USA.
DOCUMENTATION: Family Records, compiled by
Grace Diefendorf Empie, p. 5, also THEEMPIE
FAMILY, compiled by Edith Van Heusen Becker: Edith Becker's THE EMPIEFAMILY,
family of John of Sharon and wife, Sophia Shafer, shows 5 children including
achild "Anna, born 12-13-1810, baptized
1-6-11", but no Nancy. Grace Empie's records show aNancy
Empie who married Grace Empie's records show a Nancy Empie who married HenryFrederick
as one of the 5 children of John of Sharon, but no Anna. Since Nancy Empie's
SlateHill gravestone lists her as born
1810 and the wife of Henry Frederick, we know that Nancy
existed. We believe that Nancy and Anna
are the same child, Nancy and Anna being possiblevariations
of the same name (BEG).
MARRIAGE: Grace Empie's records say Nancy
Empie married a Henry Frederick.TOMBSTONE:
Tombstone, Slate Hill, "Nancy Empie (1810-1889), wife of Henry Frederick".

NOTE: I received the following
letter 18 April 1994, from Sherry Neuder, 120 Cavalry Gardens, London, SW15
2QQ England, 11 April 1994 Shafer Family
Association, 141 Hudson Ave., Chatham, NY 12037 USA.
Dear "Shafer Family Association,"
I saw your Association in a resource book
located in the Salt Lake City Genealogical Library and decided that I would
write. For 17 years I've been searching my Shafer ancestors and seem to be
stuck. I'm hoping you will be able to
help me. I'm searching for the ancestors of William Shafer born in 1796, Schoharie
Co., New York. He married Rebecca Eckerson
(born 1796 in Schoharie, N.Y.) Would you have any information on this line
of Shafer's? Is Henry Shafer (b. 1757)
related? I apologize for not sending a self-addressed stamped envelope. I
have no fifty cent U.S. stamps. Please
let me know if there is any cost for the requested information. I am willing
also to share any information that may
be of interest to you. I have the descendants of William Shafer. Thank
your for your time and effort put forth in my behalf. Sincerely,
Signed: Sherry Neuder. Hand
written along the side: P.S. William Shafer's
one son is Russell Shafer. This line eventually moved to Jackson Co., Iowa.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: My letter to Sherry
Neuder: "On Tuesday, 19 April 1994, I
motored to the Library in Middleburgh, NY, because I thought the William Shafer
we were looking for was one that I had identified in my files, but I was mistaken!
I found the following in Cady's Records,
marked "1855 Census". This was the first New York State Census. (The Federal
Census are taken on the "0" years, like
1850, 1860, etc., but the New York Census are on the "5" years, like 1855,
1865, etc.) In addition to the usual data
it gives the place of birth, how long resident in Schoharie County, and the
person's occupation or relationship to
the head of the household. I found the following:
1855 NYS CENSUS
TOWN OF SEWARD
NAME AGE WHERE BORN YEARS IN OCCUPATION
RELATIONSHIP
TOWN
William 59 Schoharie Co. 59 Farmer
Self
Rebecca 59 Vermont 30 Wife
Elizabeth 30 Schoharie Co. 30 Dau
Catherine 29 " 29 son
Russell 26 " 26 "
Emory 23 " 23 "
Margaret 20 " 20 "
Hannah 68 " 68 sister
I
fully believe that this is the "William Shafer and Rebecca" that she is looking
for. Also, she says the son is "Russell".
(I think this is the only Shafer I know of with the first name Russell. I
don't think that William is related to
the "Henry Shafer (b. 1757)" that she refers to. (I think this "Henry" is
"Henry (John Henrich) Sgt. Schaeffer Judge",
my RIN 2708.) She says that Rebecca was born in Schoharie Co.. The 1855 Census
says, " Vermont". This is the only discrepancy
between her information and the 1855 Census. Yes, I would like to "share any
information that may be of interest to you" (me). I would appreciate whatever
you have. Do you know who his father or
mother might have been? Did the sisters marry and stay locally? To whom? I
have about 2500 Shafers on my computer
file, but I'm not able to identify "William". I looked at some church books
for marriage and baptismal records, but
no information so far. I have other records to review though. Also, I'm going
to check the family in later Census. When
did Russell move to Iowa? I'm enclosing a copy of the NEW TOPOGRAPHICAL ATLAS
SCHOHARIE COUNTY, NY, 1866, Schoharie County, Town of Seward and other miscellaneous
pages. Note in the Town of Seward: There
is dot on the map, located just east of Gardnerville, and the notation, "W.
Schaeffer". This is probably the location
of his farm. I'll try to locate the property and take a couple photos, providing
it is still there. I'm going to visit the property marked J. France, as I've
been told that it is still occupied by
a member of the France family, descendants of the first settler, Sebastian
France. Maybe they will know something
about the W. Schaeffer farm. (J. France is located between Janesville and
Gardnerville.) (Mrs. Stanley (Dorothy)
France, R.D. # 2, Cobleskill, NY 12043. Telephone: 518-234-3638) There is
no charge for this information. "Sharing
information" is payment." (Herman W. Witthoft, Shafer Family Association,
141 Hudson Ave., Chatham, NY 12037. Tel:
518-392-4544.)
NOTE: From Sherry L. Neuder, 26
April 1994: "I got info from the Fed. Census of 1850, Schoharie, NY. Emory
was not listed, unless 'Henry' is really
'Emory'. The writing was difficult to make out. Also, mine had a Rebecca as
a daughter." (HWW comment: I don't know the answer until I look at the 1850
census. Maybe my copy will be more readable.)
William married (MRIN:836) Rebecca
ECKERSON-15523. Rebecca was
born about 1796 in , , VT, USA.
NOTE: Census records state that
she was "born in Vermont", but family members say, "No, born in New York".
Most recently, 4/95, Sherry Neuder says,
"I've always been told she (Rebecca Eckerson) was born in NY. Russel Shafer's
death certificate states his mother's birth as NY." I've been keeping my eyes
open for any references to "Rebecca Eckerson",
and I find in THE ACKERSON/ECKERSON FAMILY IN AMERICA, compiled by Ethel Konight
Kolenut for THE ASSOCIATION OF ACKERSON/ECKERSON DESCENDANTS, INC., 1994,
page 84: "Child of Staats Van S. Eckerson
and Maria Moat: "7-90 Rebecca V.S.V., b 21 August, bp 7 Oct 1802 (Mid #329
-abreviation for Middleburgh NY Reformed
Church, 1797-1899, Arthur C.M. Kelly, 1984), wit: Rebecca Eckerson." Who
was the witness, Rebecca Eckerson? The exact quotation in the churchbook as
transcribed by Kinship is: 10. 7.1802
Shaets V.S.V. Eckerson Rebecca Sponsor: V.S.V. Rebecca Eckerson Maria Moot
b.8.21 (There are other Eckerson baptisms
and marriages in this church, but nothing more on Rebecca Eckerson.) In the
St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Schoharie,
Schoharie Co., NY USA there is recorded a baptism: "Tom C., parent __________Eckerson,
12 January 1806, Sponsors: Staats Van Sandfort Eckerson and Betsey Bauch."
Now we know what the "V.S.V." stands for,
"Staats Van Sandfort". I checked the churchbook, Reformed Church, Schoharie,
Schoharie Co., NY USA, and nothing on
a "Rebecca Eckerson" or a "Staats Van Sandfort Eckerson". I also checked the
two churchbooks in Stone Arabia, Palatine,
Montgomery Co., NY USA, Lutheran and Reformed, and no references in either
place for a "Rebecca".
William and Rebecca had the following
