General Notes: Husband - John Lauffer


He came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, about 1810. He settled in Franklin township, where he owned and operated a flax-seed oil mill in connection with his farming interests. He and his wife reared a family of several children, and after his death his sons operated the mill and conducted the farm for several years before any division of the estate was made.

He was born on his father's place near Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He passed his life on a farm in Franklin township, and followed that occupation continuously up to the time of his death.
