Notizen zu dieser Person
8. ISACC3 SCHAFFER (MARIA CATARINA2 BERNHARDT, JOHN PETER1) was born June 04, 1760, and died 1800. He married (1) EUPHEMIA STINSON March 02, 1785, daughter of ARCHIBALD JR. and ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG. She died May 09, 1785 in New Jersey. He married (2) MARTHA LINN March 13, 1786, daughter of JOSEPH LINN and ELIZABETH KIRKPATRICK. She was born June 04, 1760, and died March 27, 1800.
Notes for ISACC SCHAFFER: Isaac raised and commanded a large company of militia and in order to have good music on parade, he procured the services of Mr. Peter Belers who had been a drum major in the Rev. Army residng at the time on the other side of the Blue Mountains. He was the most expert performer on the drum-head I ever witnessed; Nothing could exceed the beauty of his motions performing some of his most difficult pieces, the buttons of his drumsticks being confined in the meantime within the compass of a dollar. Cousin Joseph and myself and little Archie caught the inspiration and were placed under his tuition, and commencing with the first rudiments of 'Daddy mammy', etc. and engaging with ardor in our new vocation, we at length attained some tolerable proficiency in this department of military music. The height of our ambition then was to flourish in 'Red Coats' and lead the march of the regiment on parade days.
At the time of the Western expedition, in the fall of 1794, father [Abraham] and his troop of horse volunteered in the service and marched with the army to Fort Pitt to quell the 'Whiskey Boys." At Bedford, on their march, all the field officers had the honor of an introduction to the 'Father of his Country," who there met them to review the army, and give counsel to the officers. They were three months engaged in this expedition, my father returning home in December.
