Extra genealogical data send to me on 19 Jan., 2008, by Jane Hall. Thank you jane for your kindness in sharing data. ~RmSizelove~
This was BARNET Shaffer, son of Aaron Shaffer and Susannah Alspach.  His name sometimes was spelled BARNETT -- such as in the Military records.  He enlisted as a Pvt. in Co. D, 12th Ohio Cavalry on 29 Oct. 1863 and mustered out with his Company on 14 Nov. 1865 in Nashville, TN.  A search of the National Soldiers and Sailors register showed no one named Garrett Shaffer.
 
Barnet was married to Sarah A. (unknown) and had four children that I know of: Armenia, b. ca 1867; Ella May, b. ca 1869; Lavina, b. ca 1875 and Vessie M., b. April 1880.  I have not found this family after the 1880 census.  In 1870 he & his family were still on the family farm with his mother.  In 1880 they were in Appleton. He was born about 1842.  Should I find anything further, I'll let you know.
 Barnet applied for a pension, so that application is on file at the National Archive.  
 
Barnet's brother, Levi Shaffer, also buried here, served in Co. B, Ohio National Guard Infantry.  He received a pension as did his widow, Phoebe/Pheba Ann Harrison.  Brother Perry Shaffer was in  Co. H, 76th Ohio Infantry and was a pensioner, as was his widow Mary Gosnell.
 
Aaron Shaffer was the brother of my GGG-grandfather, Daniel Shaffer.  They were sons of John Shaffer and Rosannah Bennett who died in Licking Coutny sometime after 1850.
 
I received a letter in 1971 from Carrie (Mrs. W. B.) Ellas of Newark, OH.  She wrote as follows:
 "This is a copy I have of my great grandfather's family."  Her great grandparents were Aaron  and Susan A. Shaffer. 
 "Barnett Shaffer - 4 children - 3 dead - their names were Minnie, Ella, Levina, Bessa"
 The names I sent were from the census.
Thanks again.
