William Douglas replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners"Thank you. That ties up some loose ends.
The story of the princes of Deheubarth – once rulers of much of south west Wales – is a fascinating mix of ambition, rivalry, castle-building and cultural awakening. Formidable characters…"

Mary Dorthea Lundeen replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners" Many of these sites call her Catherine Roundtree Cooke. That doesn't sound like she was born Cooke. Rather, it sounds like Roundtree was her maiden name. and Cooke the name of her 1st husband. .Or that…"

Susan Van Deren Helme replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners"Hi Bryan,
I am writing a genealogy of Johann Michael Schaffert (Shoffner, Christian was a mistake), so I have too much information to impart (46,000 + words and a Tree of 1000s). Best if you ask me specific questions. Pls let me know your…"
Mary Dorthea Lundeen replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners"Actually, her being Roundtree makes sense, because it would explain how Martin met her. She could have been a young bride living in Alamance County, and when her husband died she might have gone back to her parents in Duplin, and then Martin…"
Brownie MacKie replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners"Probably not. I helped a Cousin with a family book, and it cost more to do than we could charge for it. Also, usually family members come out of the woodwork wanting free copies.

Susan Van Deren Helme replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners"The marriage record is below. I have not been able to find her parents, but I do not think it was John cook and Catherine Kierman, as they lived in Tryon NY and unlike the Shoffners were Loyalists, nor John Cook and Christian Faire, although they…"
Mary Dorthea Lundeen replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners" most,I'm a direct descendant of Michael Shofner/Margaretha Fogleman. My grandmother was Mary Emma Shofner. Her line went back this way: Robert Christopher-Wilson Brown-Christopher-Martin-Michael.
My interest is in Catherine…"
Brownie MacKie replied to Susan Van Deren Helme's discussion Shofners"You might not find a record of birth. But surely in all the above records there's a hint somewhere that Michael C. Shofner was his father....like the family tree of someone else for example. Look up all the records on all his…"

EVELYN DAVIS COURTNEY said… - Hello, cousin! Our common ancestor is Michael Christian and Margaretha Fogleman Shofner, Sr. Here is my line: Michael and Philabena Duerr Shofner, Jr > Daniel and Elizabeth Warren Shofner > Marticia D. "Tisha" Shofner and Nelson Walton > Cordelia Ann Walton and Charles B. McHenry > William Thomas McHenry and Louisa Frances Wakefield > Tommie Grace McHenry and Ollie P. David > me. I think the latest descendants of Martin and Katherine Cooke Shofner that I have in my database is about 1912. Hope you will share what you have and can correct some of my errors. My regular email is elcourtney @ earthlink.net. I do not post information about living individuals on the internet but will share with relatives and fellow researchers. Hope to hear from you.
