   Stauffer, Johannes (b. 6 AUG 1715, d. JAN 1767)
   
   Note: Johannes Stauffer, b. 6 Aug 1715, Wartenberg, Bayern, Germany. d. Jan 1767, Warwick Township, Lancaster County. He married Catherina Schenk, daughter of Michael and Anna (Rasy/Rassi) Schenk in the fall of 1738. He arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Virtuous Grace" on 24 Sep 1737 with his older brother Christian Stauffer. He warranted 194 acres next to his father-in-law Michael Schenk, Thomas Falkner and Christian Palmer (Balmer) which he patented on 28 Aug 1756. He was one of the administrators of his brother Christian's estate in 1747. Johannes borrowed money on his farm in 1756 from Johannes Brubacher of Manor Township. His wife Catherine died on 29 Nov 1760, at which time he listed in his Bible all his children by her. He wrote concerning his just deceased wife, "May God give her grace on Judgment Day. They have produced in peaceful marriage the following children". He then lists his children with their birthdays and adds, "May God to whom they belonged before they were, and who through His eternal goodness permitted them to exist make them an example of His mercy. May He bless them and their descendants and permit their seed to possess the gates of their enemies". He also wrote in his Bible that he was born at Wartenberg but raised on the Mückenhäuserhof. Johannes married secondly another Catherine. He had two daughters by his second wife that are not listed in the Bible. Johannes died in January of 1767, as he wrote a codicil to his will on 2 Jan 1767 and his will was proved 17 Jan 1767. He was a Mennonite and lived at Warwick Township. His widow Catherine married secondly Hans Oyer (Eyer), by 23 May 1768 when John Oyer and his wife Catherine of Earl Township quit claimed their part of John Stauffer’s land to Christian Erb. In the orphan court of Lancaster dated 6 Aug 1787, it showed that John Eyer (Oyer) was late of Warwick Township and his widow Catherine was now the wife of Peter Delebaugh (of Londonderry Township, Dauphin County). On 7 May 1767, his executors Michael Shenk, miller of Lebanon Township and Jacob Erb of Warwick Township sold his 194 acres to Christian Erb of Warwick Township for 1,100 pounds, because John’s two oldest sons Christian and Jacob Stauffer did not want the land. Johannes’ grandfather Daniel Stauffer (1657-1721) was the tenant at Mückenhäuserhof in 1706 and 1710 and after 1721 his uncle Christian Stauffer (c1695-11 Jul 1743) was the tenant.
