The VII before Susanna's name indicates that she is in the seventh generation.
Susanna was the daughter of Henry B. Stauffer (born 1 January 1807, died 27 May 1892)
and his wife Elizabeth Bauman. They married on 14 February 1836 and had six children,
four sons and two daughters, of whom Susanna was the youngest daughter and next
youngest child.
Henry B. Stauffer was the son of Henry Stauffer (27 January 1779 to 18 August
1856) and his first wife (of three) Barbara, the daughter of Garret and
Rosena Betchel. They are buried at the Mennonite Church in Hereford, where he
was a deacon. Henry was the fifth of eight children of this marriage (three died
as infants), and his father had four children in his second marriage. The father Henry
was the son of Abraham (born 1737) and Susanna Stauffer. Abraham's father
Daniel Stauffer came to Pennsylvania from Switzerland as a child and settled in
what became Colebrookdale Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He sold his homestead,
his farm, to his son Abraham, who later sold it to his son Henry (b. 1779). Daniel
was the son of Hans and Kinget (or Kungold) (Heistand) Stauffer of Valley Forge,
Chester County, the immigrant ancestors.
