He married to Anna E. Engel in Germany and had two or three children before coming to America 1738 on the Robert and Alice. Alexander's Father was Hans Henrich SCHEAFFER the son of Hans Scheaffer of Martin in Alsace and his mother was Anna Margaret, Her father was Hans Michael Mayer of Hohensschsen. His first home was on South Mountain where the land was not very productive. Later they moved a few miles south to a more productive area. He founded a town which he named; - Heidlebergtown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He built the "The King George" Hotel (now named "The Franklin House"), and built the town's Water Works from a strong spring; that is still in operation. He had four land warrants with a total of 700 acres. Heidleburgtown was renamed to Schaefferstown in 1820. He had donated land for a church and a burial ground where he is now buried. He did well for a man that could not write. He died a very wealthy man. About 1860 he invested in 700 acres of more land near Campbelltown with his future son-in-law Christopher Moyer. After Alexander's first wife died in 1772 he married the widow UNGER; Catherine MOYER born 1721 in Germany, she was Christopher's oldest sister. He had no children by his second marriage. Alexander is buried in the German Reform Church at Schaeffer, PA. The local Lion's Club has erected a new grave marker in his honor. Alexander had six children by his first wife: (1) Margaret maried John Bright the son of Johnanes Michael Bright of Schriessheim. (2) John married Barbara Miller. (3) Sabina Scheaffer that married Michael Haak. (4) Anna Marie married Christopher Moyer. (5) Catharine that married John Henry Moyer. (6) Henry married (1)Anna Eve Switzer and (2) Margaret Lockner. Henry was a Captian in the American Revolutionary War 1775. He was appointed justice of the peace and later a associate Judge in Dalphin county. _______________________________________ Alexander, son of Hans Henry and Anna Margaretha (Mayer) Schaeffer, immigrated to Philadelphia from Baden, Germany, in 1738. By the time of his death in 1786 he had laid out the town he named Heidelberg (now Schaefferstown), in Lancaster Co., PA, built the King George Hotel (the present day Franklin House), and created the first gravitational water conveyance system by underground pipes in all the British colonies. In about 1738 he married Anna Engel and together they had six children. He was of the German Reformed faith and was a guiding force in establishing that church in Heidelberg. Family links: Spouse: Anna E. Engel Schaeffer (1708 - 1772)* Children: Sabina Schaeffer Haak (1742 - 1811)* Anna Maria Schaeffer Meyer (1744 - 1823)* Johannes Henrich (Henry) Schaeffer (1749 - 1803)* Burial: Schaefferstown Cemetery, Schaefferstown, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, United States ____________________________ Schaeffer and his wife, Anna, purchased the land surrounding Schaefferstown (formerly Heidelberg), laid out the town and sold lots to the squatters who already had homes. On July 16, 1763, he sold the land and spring (now Fountain Park) along with the pipes and troughs of the gravity water system to representatives of the people of Market Street. This act created the water company which later became the first chartered water works in the United States. (This information was taken from a plaque on a Marker in the cemetery at Schaefferstown, PA.) ___________________________ Project Focus: The Alexander Schaeffer House: Schaefferstown, PA (1996-1999) Historic Structures Report, National Historic Landmark Nomination The Alexander Schaeffer House is a nationally significant property for its association with Alexander and Henry Schaeffer, the builders and founders of an important inland eighteenth century trading center and one of the only surviving Baroque-planned Germanic towns in America, and as a rare example of the culturally-distinct German building typology. With a period of significance spanning from 1758 when Alexander Schaeffer built the first section of the house to 1842 when Henry Schaeffer’s sons sold the property, the Schaeffer House is significant in the areas of Architecture and Community Planning and Development. Alexander Schaeffer founded Schaefferstown in 1758 while living at the Schaeffer House. Developed using academic European planning principles, Schaefferstown became an important crossroads community in Colonial America, and still survives with exceptional degree of architectural and historic integrity. Additionally, this house is an excellently-preserved example of early Germanic architecture in Colonial America, and still embodies the personality and culture of late medieval Germany. As a building type, the Schaeffer House can be classified as a bank house with the traditional characteristics that include: a gable end built into the bank so one end of the house has one story above ground, while the other end has two, and cooking relegated to the lower floors. However, it is slightly different than most bank houses in that it follows the more traditional form of the Germanic prototypes, with the main floor organized around a central, rather than gable end, fireplace. This building stands as a rare example of the role of European cultural traditions in settling the colonies and contributes substantially to the understanding of the early American architectural tradition. Working in conjunction with Historic Schaefferstown, Inc., Noble Preservation has completed a National Historic Landmark Nomination that is currently under review by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Work completed to date includes a full set of measured drawings, HABS-quality photographic documentation and historical research which will help guide restoration and preservation efforts at the property. _____________________________ This is a compilation of the early generations of the Alexander Schaeffer Family. Alexander Schaeffer immigrated in 1738 from Schriesheim and settled in Heidelberg Township (then in Lancaster County). He later relocated slightly and founded the town of Heidelberg, named after the well-known German city his hometown was nearby. After his death, the town assumed the name Schaefferstown. It is currently in Lebanon County, PA. Except where otherwise noted, this genealogy taken from bre2, beginning on page 216: One comment - Abraham Brendle, the author of bre2, admitted to modernizing names in his book - I would expect that all of the people listed here would have gone by pure German names in their time. GENEALOGICAL NOTES - ANCESTORS OF ALEXANDER SCHAEFFER At least his parents and grandparents are known and published on - see wei2, page v and hsr1 for an outline. Alexander Schaeffer had 8 known siblings, and 2 of them were also immigrants to America. One, Anna Maria Schaeffer, b 1707 Feb 9, married Hieronymus Troutman and also settled in Heidelberg Township, Lancaster County. Another of Alexaner's sisers, Anna Barbara, is also documented as emigrating to America, but whom she married was unknown (wei2 page v).

Weiser, in wei2, page v, comments that her maiden name is unknown.

| 9 | Page 22. JOHN MEYER (son of the Meyer from Germany) owned the old homestead at the Mühlbach, and is said to have been the oldest son, but his sister (or sisters) may have been older. The probability is that he was born in Germany, and was the child (or one of the two) brought by the parents from the old country. Yet there is nothing certain about this. Letters of administration were granted to his "oldest son John" to settle up the estate, Dec. 22, 1786, and it is likely that he, the subject of this sketch, died but a short time previous. On a tombstone in the Mühlbach cemetery is this record: "Johannes Mover, Died Dec. 11, 1786; aged 67 years." This record and the letters of administration granted eleven days later no doubt have reference to the same person. His wife's Christian name also is mentioned in the papers just alluded to, and was Anna Barbara. The names of his children are found on an old deed.1 dated Dec. 3. 1788 found among the papers of the Mühlbach homestead. The younger brother Henry and the sisters sold their interest in their father's farm to their older brother John. This list must include all the children that had grown to maturity and were still living. If any had died before the sale of the farm the fact - is not known. John's descendants can give but little information about him. George, of Dauphin, and Michael, from near Mühlbach, grandsons, and among the very last of that generation yet living, simply know that his name was John (Hans), that he owned the old Mühlbach homestead, and that he was in some way related to Christopher Meyer of Campbellstown, Lebanon County. From these meager facts, from information given by Mrs. Nancy Kryder, who was raised at her grandfather Christopher's place, at Campbellstown, Pa., from traditions remembered by Henry and John Meyer, Rebersburg, Pa., and from items discovered in old documents, I have been able to form a chain of evidence which leaves no doubt in my mind as to his location in the Mejer family. After the lapse of a few more years this fact could not have been established. It is related that John, or "Hans," as he was more familiarly known by his relatives, was an excellent violinist. When visiting his friends it was not long until he would have handed him the violin, an almost indispensable piece of furniture in the Meyer homes of that period, and, after excusing himself a while, exhibiting his crooked, bony fingers and asking how they - could expect one to play with such hands, he would tune the instrument and perform with wonderful ability. From time immemorial the Meyers have been noted singers, and nearly all the older stock could play the violin. They made their own instruments, and were, therefore, not very expensive. It was about the only musical instrument then in existence among the pioneer settlers, and, however rude in construction, it would answer the purpose of rasping sundry tunes for dancing! John had five children as far as we know (see deed page 22), two sons and three daughters. About the latter no information was received. The descendants of John (the subject of this sketch) are nearly all residing in Dauphin and Lebanon Counties; quite a number near Mühlbach. | Mayer, Johannes (I1111)

[John] Yearick was in many ways a remarkable man. He was physically tall and well built. . . . ." ". . . [John]had little means and had shouldered a large debt by the purchase of the farm. He could not hire mechanics to construct the barn, which was the first building needed and to be erected there on. He therefore himself planned the kind of a barn that he wanted. When it was completed, it contained three threshing floors, three large mows, and in addition three overhead mows, . . . When the plan was completed, the lumber was cut on the farm according to lengths required and taken to the sawmill and converted into various forms of lumber necessary for building purposes. When the lumber was seasoned and ready, he undoubtedly had the assistance of a few carpenters. Every piece of timber that went into the structure was fashioned according to the place it was to occupy in the building, as to length, width, thickness, and mortice or countermortice, so that when the "raising day" came there was but one piece of timber in which there was a mistake made. . . . as the first bank-barn in that part of the country, it was the wonder of all people. It was not long until in all directions such barns were desired, and Grandfather Yearick was called to build them." (History of the Georg-Yearick Family in America, Zwingli A.
