For those interested I have a copy of a document written by Magdalena Hess (presumably by her own hand) in which she declares her birth date and her childrens birth dates. It is written in German and transcribed by a man named John Eby. This document was handed down to me from Christian Carroll Stouffer, originating from David McNeely Stauffer.
Jim -
I'm not a direct descendant - Magdalena was married to my 7x grand-uncle, but I'd still love to have the document. If you have a JPEG, you can send it to david@halbstein.com. Thanks!
This is very cool. If you have a scanned copy you can post it at:
