Description:Excerpt from Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society, Friday, January 5, 1917, Vol. 21: Notes on the Shaffner Family, Memoranda Concerning the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad, Etc;, Minutes of the January Meeting, in Memoriam, Officers of the Society for 1917, Librarian's Annual Report, Secretary's Annual Report, Treasurer's Annual Report When the ship Samuel, of London, Hugh Percy, Master, sailed from Rotterdam, she had on board 275 passengers, who landed in America. Of these 88 were men, 85 women and 112 children. The men qualified Aug.17, 1733. Among them was Johannes Caspar Schaffner, or, as his name appears on the original list, Gasper Schoffner, a young man of 21. On the same vessel were Johannes Peter Knobel, a man of 42, his wife, Ursula, aged 43, and their daughter, Anna Maria, a girl of 16. These four eventually found their way to Lancaster, Penna., where they settled. According to Ellis and Evans (p. 363) Shaffner, as the name is sometimes spelled, is first mentioned in the records in 1744, was by profession a "blue dyer," and carried on that business in the borough. In those days, more than a hundred and eighty years ago, the passage across the Atlantic was not the comfortable, convenient and rapid transit of a few days, which it is in this year of 1916. Weeks, nay, months, were consumed in the journey. In the crowded limits of a small sailing vessel, those on board necessarily were thrown much together, and it is not hard to understand the romance which grew up between the youth of 21 and the girl of 16, culminating in a marriage, celebrated by the Rev. John Casper Stoever, between John Casper Schaffner and Anna Maria Knobel, both of Lancaster, on Dec. 30, 1735. The baptismal record of the German Reformed Church, now the First Reformed Church, has the following entries: John Caspar Shaffner, son of Caspar, bap. Oct. 30, 1737; Mary Magel, d. Caspar and Anna Maria, b. Ap. 22, 1748; John Paul, b. May 15, 1749; Ann Margaret, b. June 20, 1752; John b. Oct. 28, 1754; John George, b. Apr. 2, 1757; Charlotte, b. Jan. 13, 1759; Salome, b. Mar. 1, 1761. The history of this Church (p. 23), states that Caspar Shaffner, in 1749, was one of its elders, and in addition was its organist for a long time, and when the new church was built, in 1753, he was one of its prominent members (p. 38). In 1772 his tax was 6 shillings. He was buried on April 18, 1773, having probably died on the 16th. His age was 60 years, 6 months and 8 days. In 1749, he, with Paul Weitzel, was deputed to represent the congregation and prosecute the call to the Rev. Mr. Steiner, (p. 23). My notes state that he founded a school for poor children. His will is dated April 6, 1773, Book B. I, p. 741, and was proven June 16 of the same year. He mentions his children, Caspar, Peter, John, George, Mary, wife of Jacob Eicholtz; the children of his daughter, Magdalen, deceased, and Margaret. Later she married Gottlieb Nauman. He leaves everything to his wife, Mary, dyeing vats included, to be divided after her death among his children. In 1744-45-49 he was assistant Town Clerk. But while there is little to be recorded of the first Caspar Schaffner, he, nevertheless, has left his mark upon the history of Lancaster.
