The latter moved to Tuscarora, near Philadelphia. The source of our information is this: In the fall of 1824 John Lauffer, Jr., of Harrison City, the centenarian, and Frederick Steck, the father of Daniel Steck, a former sheriff of Westmoreland Co., went afoot to Philadelphia with a drove of 170 cattle that were purchased in the Manor Valley at from $10 to $12 per head. It took five weeks to make the trip. John Lauffer, Jr., on this trip visited Henry, the son of Bartol, and saw his sons and daughters. His descendants no doubt are extant somewhere, and it is sincerely hoped that their family records have been kept carefully, and may some day be annexed to ours. We do not know the year Bartol left Greensburg to go into Ohio, but the venerable John Lauffer tells us, he went with the great stream of migration of 1812. As proprietor of the saw mill and grist mill, and hotel property, besides his real estate dealings, Bartol lived a very busy and useful life in Greensburg. His son Peter was a steam boat pilot, and was blown up in an explosion on the Ohio River shortly after the War of 1812. Another son of Barthol was Judge in Canton Co., Ohio. Simon Lauffer, of Irwin, met Rev. P. A. Lauffer, of Meadville, and tells us he is a grandson of Bartol, and served for some years as President of Allegheny College. Dr. Cornelius C. Laffer, of Meadville, is of the Bartol Laffer family, and a son of P. A. Laffer. Philip A. Laffer was born Sept. 30, 1837, (died Dec. 4, 1884), married July 24, 1862 to Ellen Weir Callender by Rev. Samuel N. Callender. Address Meadville, Pa. Five children. (I) Norma Callender Laffer born Nov. 16, I863. Died Aug. 1, 1864. Interred at Meadville, Pa. (2) Philip Ernest Laffer From wills of Northampton Co., the will of Philip Drumm, yoeman, of Moore Twp., probated Nov, 22, 1788, we learn that his daughter, Mary Angle, was the wife of Bartol Lawfer. Also that Simon, husband of Susanna Laffer, was the son of this Philip Drumm. Father Drumm lies buried near the stump of a big chestnut tree along the fence to the right of Old Stone Church, three miles north of Seigfrieds, Pa. | Catherina Lauffer | b.1778 d.1847 | Father: Peter Lauffer Mother: | RootsWeb has a listing for a Catherina Lauffer who died in 1847. She is also listed as being married to Heiny Balthaser. But the settlement papers in the will of Michael Esh, Junior, in 1812 are filed in a claim in 1819 by a Balthasar Heiny on behalf of his LATE wife Catherine, since she was the widow of Michael Esch, Jr. There is little doubt in my mind that this Catherine is the same Catherina Lauffer mentioned in Michael Esh, Jrs will, and whoever made the listing on RootsWeb must have had the date of her death incorrect (BUT SEE UPDATE BELOW), as well as switching around her second husbands name. On April 28, 2004, I went to the cemetery of Christ UCC (Little Moore or Dieters Church Cemetery]. There I found the adjoining tombstones of a Catherina Heiny and Balthazar Heiny. I am still in the process of translating the German inscriptions on these grave markers. So far, I have the following: Catherina Heiny Born Lawfer July 26, 1778 Verheiran Esch im Year 1813 with Bal thazar Heiny Lebii in the Obe 29 years 10 months and 10 days zongium Hinden et al. died May 28th 1847 old 68 years 10 months 2 days. | Catherine Lauffer | b. d. | Father: Christian Lauffer THE PIONEER Mother: | Catharine, wife of Jacob Christman.

As to the source of our people he knows we are from the Palatine, a country beautiful beyond anything: when General Tourans was sent into it, its devastation was so complete that in delivering his report to the French monarch he could truthfully say: "Sire I have not left a stick standing as big as that finger." | Henry Lauffer | b.1781 d. | Father: Bartol Lauffer Mother: Anna Maria Drumm | | Henry Gottlieb Lauffer "Runner" Spouse1: Charity Charlotte Fortney | b.1738 1738 Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany d.1784 Jul 14 Frederick County, Maryland, USA | Father: Johannes Michael Lauffer RUNNER Mother: Anna Marie Elisabeth Wertz | | Jakob Lauffer Spouse1: Euphrosyne | b.1546 Villingen-Schwenningen, Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany d. | Father: Hans Lauffer Mother: Apollonia | | Jakob Lauffer | b.1679 d. | Father: Georg Lauffer Mother: Maria Schuler | | Jakob Bueblin Lauffer Spouse1: Anna Rayserin Kaiser | b.1622 Villingen-Schwenningen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany d.1674 SEP 25 Villingen-Schwenningen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany | Father: Hans Lauffer Mother: | | Johan Henrich Lauffer | b.1683 Weisenheim am Sand, Bad Durkheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, German d.1730 | Father: Joseph Lauffer Mother: | | Johannes Lauffer | b.1792 d. | Father: Bartol Lauffer Mother: Anna Maria Drumm | | Johannes Michael Lauffer "RUNNER" Spouse1: Anna Marie Elisabeth Wertz | b.1705 Lauffen am Neckar, Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany d.1793 Frederick, MD, United States | Father: Mother: | Place of Burial:Gods Acre Cemetery, Frederick, Maryland Came to America on the Ship Neptune with his son Michael Laufer.
