I noticed your postings about the Shaffer family and wanted to write you. We have had the information that Henry Koontz (Kuntz, Couns, Kuhns, et cetera) married Susanna Schaeffer on 12 Nov 1782. The marriage records state that Henry was the son of Balthasar Kuns [sic] of Rockingham Co., VA, and that Susanna was the daughter of George Schaeffer of Loudon Co., VA. Henry died about 1821 in Nicholas Co., VA (now WV). We have a list of their children. Henry Koontz is in several counties of VA (WV after the Civil War), including Monroe, Greenbrier, Kanawha and Nicholas. In the 1796 tax list of Greenbriar Co., WV are: Henry Counts, Michael Counts, Henry Counts, Jacob Shafer and Frederick Shafer. I have information that Peter Shaffer m. Polly GEORGE 27 Mar 1824 in Greenbrier Co., WV. Christopher Shaffer (b. 1 Oct 1753 Berks Co., PA, died 9 Mar 1847 Tazwell Co., IL) had land grants in Botetourt Co., VA "now Greenbrier Co., VA; he had children George, Peter, Elizabeth, Mary, Phebe, Philip & Christopher in Greenbrier Co., WV. The newest family connection we have is the marriage of Henrich Kuntz to Susann Schaeffer(n) in 1783, Frederick Co., MD. If you are researching the Schaffer family (any spelling), would you be willing to share. We'd like to start researching the Shaffer and Koontz families' locations at various times and hope to make the genealogy more complete.
