General Notes: Husband - John Lauffer, Sr.



Penn Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA

He was a boy of five years when his father migrated into Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In the year 1794 he moved on a tract of land north of Harrison City, a portion of which was later known as the Hezekiah Waugaman farm.
He was a very careful man in the matter of keeping an accurate family record. In his huge German, Bible with its wooden lids covered with leather, he jotted down the dates of birth of his children as they were born. His estate was settled in 1856 after the death of his wife Barbara in 1855.

He and his wife had fourteen children; six were still living in 1890.
