  Notes	John Schifferly, farmer, P.O. Beaver Dam, was born in Switzerland, May 26, 1819, and there received a common school education. His father, a farmer, immigrated to America in 1838, located in Wayne County, Ohio (having in his possession at that time only $23.90), and in 1836 settled on the farm where his son, John, now resides, in Richland Township, Allen (then Putnam) County, and here died in 1861. Our subject, the youngest in a family of three children, was raised in the woods, and followed clearing and farming in early life. He was married in 1848 to Christine Swartz, a native of Germany. Her father was a pioneer farmer of Hancock County, Ohio. To this union were born eleven children, eight now living: * Gideon, married and farming in Hancock County, Ohio; * John W., a farmer whose wife died in 1883 leaving one child; * Jacob D., a tinner in Beaver Dam; * Mary, wife of J. E. Lugibihl; * Willie E., a tinner in Beaver Dam; * Frederick, at home; * Sarah E. and Margaret E. Mrs Schifferly is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Our subject, who now owns 152 acres of good land and a house worth$2,000, started with but forty acres of heavily timbered land, on which he built a cabin, and has by his own exertions accumulated a handsome competency.

  		Possibly John Shifferly Found in Albright Shifferly's photos, this picture is marked "Grandfather Shifferly". Although the writing does not appear to be Albright's writing, since this man does not look like his father, Gideon, it seems as if it must be John Shifferly
