DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION:
See #77954, Miss Eva Lena Vroman, born in Schoharie, NY.
As part of her eligibility certification she lists "Adam Shafer (1724-1800)".
(She also lists quite a few other Revolutionary
War ancestors.) This is another reference to prove that Adam was a Revolutionary
War soldier and boosts my claim to Adam
for my membership in the Sons of the American Revolution proof.
ADDITIONAL D.A.R REFERENCES TO
ADAM: "Miss Ita Vroman, born in Schoharie, NY, #77955, Adam Shafer
among others". Miss Kate Vroman, born in Schoharie, NY #77956, Adam Shafer
among others". Are these three, Eva, Ita,
and Kate sisters? I think at least Ita and Kate are.

is perhaps the Sara ehel. Tochter
von (lawful daughter of) Adam Kills listed the Protocol van den Glidmasen
(Register of Members) of the Stone Arabia Reformed Church for August 1788,
(probably confirmation date, age 14
- HWW), as there is no Sara on Adam's family record. She is
probably, because of the location, the Susan Kilts who married David Shaver
21 April 1804 (German Reformed Church
of New Rhinebeck (Sharon)). 17 Februarius 1793 Jacob Snel and Susanna
Killsz sponsored Georg of Peter G. Snel of Palatine and Maria Snel. 29

believe this last reference instead of the first, but I'm leaving both
references open to inspection - (HWW).

again married a Christina Braun. She mothered nine more children for
him. Nine of Christian's children were sons which explains why by 1850 there
