    1762-1790??? where was the family? why no records?

    see 4th class, 8th Co, 1st Bn, 1777 Rev War?

    1790 Census, Upper Saucon Twp, 2-0-1 (or is this the one that left a will?)

    Another Martin Schaffer seems to have died in Upper Saucon in the early 1800's so
    I'm thinking this is the other guy.
