Maria Elizabeth Schaeffer was born in Germany in about 1664. Specifics of her origins in Germany are not known.[1] She emigrated to America in 1710 as part of the large-scale emigration of Protestants from the German Palatine region. An adult man named Johannes Schaeffer who is listed on some of New York Governor Robert Hunter's records of Palatine immigrants is inferred to have been Maria Elizabeth's husband; he apparently died during the sea crossing or shortly after arrival in America.[2] The name of Maria Elisabetha Schafferin first appeared on the Hunter Lists on 30 June 1710, with 4 persons over 10 years of age and 2 persons under 10 in the family
