#162 William Henry Stouffer◊ ( Jacob Stouffer◊ )
Other names for William: William Henry Stauffer◊.
William was born 18 Jun 1854 in Bradenville, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He died 24 Mar 1932 in Latrobe, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania from pneumonia. He was buried 26 Mar 1932 in Bradenville, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.
He is in the group picture «here».
On the 1860 Federal Census he is living with his parents in Unity Twp., Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.
By the 1870 Federal Census he is in Unity Twp., Westmoreland Co. and is working as a laborer on the farm of John & Mary Fergerson.
On the 1880 Federal Census he is in Ligonier, Pennsylvania working as a wagoner. On the 1900 Federal Census, the 1910 Federal Census, and 1920 Federal Census of Derry, Pennsylvania he is a coal miner. There were 15 to 20 different mines operating in New Derry and Bradenville. The records were pretty well lost when the mines were closed, so we have no record of which mine or company employed him.
We find him on the 1930 Federal Census in Derry widowed, retired and living with his son, Harry. His last name is given as Stauffer, as it is on his death certificate. The informant was Harry, whose name is written the same way. I'm uncertain if Harry changed the spelling, or if the family spelled it various ways at various times, or if the registrar who filled out the form just misheard.
∞ William married #163 Mary Jane Dando◊. She is the daughter of Jonah Jehosophat & Jane (Swatkins) Dando. She is an ancestor in the Dando Line.

They married Abt 1872. |
Other names for Mary: Mary Jane Stauffer◊, Mary Jane Stouffer◊.
Mary was born 4 Dec 1854 in Llanfrechfa, Monmouthshire, Wales. She died 7 Dec 1924 in Derry, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania from apoplexy. She was buried 9 Dec 1924 in Bradenville, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.
She is in the group picture «here».
Unfortunately, Mary Jane's birth registration is the difficult one to find. There is a Mary Jane Dando registered in the beginning of 1855 but it is in Pontypool, which is about seven miles away from Llanfrechfa. Alternatively, there is Isset Mary Dando who is registered in Abergavenny as Mary Jane's older sisters are, but the date of registration is Jul-Sep 1853, which is before her birth date.
Some papers have her middle name as Ellen.
She appears with her parents on the 1861 Wales Census of Llandaff, Glamorgan, Wales and the 1870 Federal Census of Derry, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.
On the 1880 Federal Census she is in Ligonier, Pennsylvania with William and the three oldest children. On the 1900 Federal Census, the 1910 Federal Census, and 1920 Federal Census of Derry, Pennsylvania she is living with William and a gradually diminishing number of children.
