Sarah Adelaide Pfaff (abt. 1836-1917)<BR>

Miles Alexander Pfaff (1839-1861)<BR>
Virgil H. Pfaff (abt. 1844-aft. 1860)<P>

Previously we listed John Sidney Pfaff (1847-1925) as the last child in this family.  He is actually a grandson, son of Martha Rebecca Pfaff born prior to her marriage to Solomon Cline.  His marriage license names his father as Jacob Transou.<P>


We would like solid proof that Paulina is the daughter of Christian Pfaff and Elizabeth Dull.  A record from the Moravian Archives stated that she was the daughter of Isaac Pfaff and Maria Margaretha Volck, but in view of Maria Margaretha's age, we believe this is incorrect, and that they are probably her grandparents instead.  <P>

Children of John Sidney Pfaff and Lucy Clodfelter<BR>
Charles Harry Pfaff (1875-1947) m. Minnie Yokely (1875-1901) <BR>
Sallie (or Lillie?) Pfaff (ca. 1879?-bef. 1900?)<P>


John Sidney Pfaff married Lucy Clodfelter in June 1874.  In the 1880 census, they appear with Hattie Nissen 13, "daughter of wife" who appears to be Lucy's daughter from a previous relationship.  Hattie later took the surname Pfaff, and her death certificate names her parents as J. Pfaff and Lucy Clodfelter.  <P>

The rest of the household in 1880 is questionable.  The image is poor, and the transcriptions by the Forsyth Co. Genealogical Society and the LDS are substantially different.  Both renditions suggest several additional children.  However, the household divides over two pages of the census, splitting the children into two groups: Hattie, Harry and Sallie are on the bottom of one page, in age order, and at the top of the next are three more boys, ages 7, 5 and 1.  Their names are open to several possible interpretations.<P>

We suspect these three boys may not be theirs at all, and that perhaps there was a missing census page, or a page out of order, so that these are missing children from some other family.  The primary reason for thinking this is that in 1900, Lucy says that she is the mother of three children, of whom two are living.  The living ones must be Hattie and Harry, who are living with John Sidney and Lucy (along with Harry's wife and two children).  If this is correct, then the third child, who must have died young, is probably the last one on the first of the two census pages, transcribed by the FCGS as Sallie age 4, and by the LDS as Lillie, age 1 month.  <P>
