THE LAUFFER FAMILY
GENERATION I: The family is supposed to originate from the village of Lauffer, near Buhl, in Baden-Baden, Germany. Christian (b. 1730 - m. Sara), a Hugenot fleeing religious persecution, came to America September 25, 1751, arriving on the ship "Phoenix" from Rotterdam, Holland. Christian Lauffer is listed as a taxpayer in Lehigh twp., Northampton Co., PA, in the year 1762. In 1774, he moved his family to Westmoreland Co., PA, leaving one son, Peter, on the home farm. He died about 1800 and is buried in the old Bash cemetery near Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland Co., PA. (History of Lehigh Co., PA, Charles Rhoads Roberts, 1914, p. 775).
GENERATION II: children of Christian and Sara Lauffer, all sons were Revolutionary War veterans
(1) Adam
Adam Lauffer's name appears spelled Lawfort as a pvt. in Cpt. Nicholas Kern's Co. of the Flying Camp on 8/6/1776. He was captured by the British and held prisoner and is supposed to have died on Long Island.
*(2) Bartholomew "Bartol" (1750, Northampton Co., PA - 1/1/1822, Sandyville, OH) - m. Anna Maria Drumm
Bartol Lauffer was baptised in the Harolds Church, Westmoreland Co. He lived in Mt. Pleasant twp., Armstrong Co., PA. He was recorded in the 1810 census in Sugar Creek twp., Armstrong Co., PA. He moved to Ohio in 1812 and was Justice of the Peace in Tuscarawas Co., OH, in 1817. (History of Tusacrawas Co, OH)
Maria Drumm was the daughter of Philip Drumm who had settled at Greensburg, PA. It is said Philip Drumm built the first brick house in that town. The will of Philip Drumm, yoeman, of Moore twp., Northampton Co., PA, probated 11/22/1788, shows his daughter, Mary, married Bartol Lauffer; and his son, Simon Drumm was the husband of Susanna Lauffer. Philip Drumm (9/27/1721 - 11/14/1788) is buried at "the old stone church" three miles north of Siegfrieds, PA. (Lauffer History, published 1906, pp. 15-16.)

In 1782 and again 3/3/1783 his name appears (spelled LAWFORT) as a pvt. 8th class, in Capt. John Detars Co., 3rd Batt. Northampton Co. militia, under the command of Lt-Col Nicholas Kern. In 1785 he was owner of 150 acres of land in Moore twp.

"H. A. LAUFFER, the Manor Merchant, one of the best known business men in the County, springs from one of the oldest families in Westmoreland Co. His great great grandfather, Christian Lauffer, the pioneer, came into Westmoreland Co., in 1774, from Northampton Co., Pa. At the time of this migration his great grandfather, Henry Lauffer, Sr., was 20 years old. Henry, Sr., was the second son in a family of 6 sone & 5 daughters. He and all his brothers were enlisted in the war for American freedom. Henry, John, Bartol, Christian, Adam, five sons of Christian Lauffer, the pioneer, and five daughters, Catherine (Mrs. Jacob Christian), Susanna (Mrs. Simon Doum), Elizabeth (Mrs. Frederick Rice), Mary (Mrs. Wentzell), Magdalena (Mrs. John Ash), migrated into Westmoreland Co., Pa. leaving one son, Peter Lauffer, on the old homestead in Lehi township, Northampton Co., Pa. This Peter Lauffer is the ancestor of the many Lauffers in Monroe, Northampton, and Lehigh counties. Henry and John remained in Westmoreland Co., Pa. Adam returned from Washington's army broken in health, and died soon after the Revolutionary War. Christian and Bartol moved into Ohio, with the great stream of emigration following the War of 1812.
Christian Lauffer, the pioneer, entered this county as soon as the feud between Pennsylvania and Virginia was settled, as to the ownership of this region. The very early settlers had to pay taxes to both colonies and received protection against the Indians from neither.
In Penna. Archives, 3rd series, v. 23, p. 226, we find that this Henry Lauffer is enrolled among 'Rangers of the Frontiers 1778 - 1783', for Westmoreland Co., Pa. He died in February, 1821, and is interred in the old Bash cemetery, near Pleasant Unity, by the side of Barbara, his wife.
The family of Henry, son of Christian, the pioneer, consisted of two sons, Henry and John, three daughters, Susanna (Mrs. George Hartzell), Mary (Mrs. Jacob Gress), and Elizabeth (Mrs. Adam Rumbaugh). Harold's Church Records show Elizabeth born 12/20/1796 and Anna Maria born 7/16/1799. In 1816 he took out a quarter section of land in Wayne Co., Ohio, near Wooster, for each of his five children. Upon one of these sections Mrs. Elizabeth Rumbaugh moved in 1817, and the farm is still in the hands of that family. Henry, Sr., was an enterprising farmer residing near Pleasant Unity, and was still a young man when he died at 67 years, 5 months, 21 days of an infected wound. As he resided along the stage coach route to Pittsburgh and west, just south of Greensburg, he kept a wayside inn for many years. His wife died May 14, 1846, aged 75 years, 26 days. Her maiden name was Barbara Alliman." (History of Westmoreland Co., PA, John W. Jordan, 1906, v. 3, p. 657.)

1812 War records found in the "Archives Building" at Washington, DC, give his name as Adam Lauffer, killed 12/30/1813). "During the War of 1812, John Lauffer, a gunsmith, was killed by Indians near his home at Black Rock (Buffalo) New York. His wife buried him there with her five children, she made her way to the head waters of the Allegheny Riiver, where she constructed a rude raft and floated down the river to where Catfish, Pa., now stands. There they were welcomed by her brother and sister, Christopher and Susanna Truby. The family, after some time (four years, one account says) at Catfish, floated on down the Allegheny River and settled in the state of Ohio. But at the request of Christopher and Susanna, the nine year old girl, Susanna (named after her Aunt) was left with them. There she grew to womanhood and married Thomas Stewart."

Elizabeth married John Reiff of Greensburg and settled in Tuscarawas Co., OH.
(6) Henry (1783 - 1835) - m. Mary Shaffer (1776 - 1849)
"In the spring of 1808 New Philadelphia, Oh., consisted of four families: Peter Cribbs, George Leininger, Christian Stout, and Henry Laffer. Henry Laffer was a Pennsylvanian, had assisted in surveying the lands of Ohio, and in 1809 opened a tavern at his dwelling house in New Phila., and kept it for several years. He was sheriff of the county from 1810 - 1813 and soon after founded Sandyville and removed thither (p. 468)... In 1814, William Albert succeeded Henry Laffer at the latter's tavern stand, which occupied lot 205 on High Street (p. 469)... Sandyville, Oh., was laid out in 1815 by Henry Laffer. In 1843 the administrators of Henry Laffer made an addition of 47 lots which extended west as far as Sandy Creek. The proprietor, Henry Laffer, was one of the most prominent men in the county. He emigrated from Westmoreland Co., Pa., to New Philadelphia, Oh., about 1806 and kept a tavern at the county seat for several years. From 1810 - 1813, he was sheriff of the county. In 1815 he purchased from Joseph Eakin the north east quarter of Section 8 and founded Sandyville. Mr. Laffer engaged in various public enterprises to advance the interests of his community and county, was quite popular, became a major general of the militia, a state senator and filled other positions of trust and honor. He died at Sandyville in March 1835. Henry Laffer opened and conducted the first store and he was also the postmaster of Sandyville, Oh. H. B. Laffer now holds this position (1884). Henry Laffer erected a grist mill; afterward adding a carding and, about 1820, a fulling mill. After his death, his son, John Laffer, and his son-in-law Rezin Pritchard, operated it for several years. The fulling and carding machines were discarded, but the frist mill is still in operation on Sandy Creek under the proprietorship of Boelm & McKinley (1884). John Laffer erected the second water saw mill near Sandyville. Sandyville, Oh., population: 1820 - 75; 1840 - 243; 1850 - 223; 1870 - 227; 1880 - 239. (p.647)... Henry Laffer helped to establish the first Sunday school in Tuscarawas Co. in April 1821. (p. 648)..
Shortly after the surrender of Gen. Hull at Detroit, three Indians were captured by Alexander McConnel on Goshen Island and were lodgedin New Phila, Ohio, jail. A company of militia men, 40 in number under the command of Cpt. Mullin were so incensed that they planned to lynch the Indians. Sheriff Henry Laffer and two other men, John C. Wright, a lawyer from Steubenville, and Alexander McConnel refused to hand the Indians over. Cpt. Mullin lined his men up and ordered them to fire on the three men in front of the jail. The men refused to fire and the men then broke up and left the Indians in jail. Cpt. Mullin was outraged by the conduct of his militiamen. (p. 408)
Jacob Laffer, a young man, cousin of Henry Laffer came to Sandyville, Oh., about 1817... The early pioneers of the military lots in the north east quarter of the township were Jacob Laffer, among others. (pp. 645-646)" History of Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, Warner, Beers & Co., 1884.

THE TRUBY FAMILY
GENERATION I: Christopher (1701 - 11/6/1753) - m. Marcia Catherine ___ (b. 1702)
"The first Truby that we have any data on is the above Christopher Truby who was born in 1701. It is thought he was born in the Palatinate in Germany as was his wife, Marcia Catherine, who was born in 1702. These Trubys were Huguenots and the Huguenots in the Palatinate were so badly persecuted by both the French and the Germans that they finally decided to move out either to America or to Switzerland. The biggest exodus of these Palatinate Huguenots occurred shortly after the winter of 1708-09 which was so terribly cold that the rivers froze solid, wine casks froze solid, too, and even birds on the wing froze and fell dead. It is supposed to have been the coldest winter that Europe ever witnessed. The Trubys emigrated to Switzerland and stayed there for some time. The dates of their move to Switzerland and the date of their later move to America is unknown but it is thought that their children were born in the County of Bucks in Pennsylvania near Newton.
It is not known either how many Truby families came to America. We have traced just the one family, that of Christopher Truby, but there were other Trubys in and around Philadelphia about 1750. Christopher died on Nov. 6, 1753, and the executor of his will proved to be a crook. The children had to go to court to gain their rights to the estate of their father. These court records are recorded in the Bucks County Court at Doylestown, Pa." (HIR, 1966)
