Research Notes:
Many researchers show Michael Kauffman as a son of John Kauffman and Elizabeth Stoner, as we do here. However, some secondary documentation suggests that he might be a son of John B Kauffman and Anna Long. We seek further evidence about the ancestry of this Michael Kauffman.
Mennonite card file. A card file lists this Michael with the birth and death dates for this Michael with mother Anna and disagrees with our notes about the siblings of Michael. [5] However, the card file cites the Kauffman Genealogy at page 62, which is the family of John Kauffman (A34) and Elizabeth (not Anna) Stoner. [6] This family lists a son Michael (A345 and A579) whose description agrees with the Michael that we show here.
Mennonite card file for sibling Maria, spouse of Christian Frantz lists Maria's parents as John B Kauffman and Anna Long. This card file cites the Kauffman Genealogy, page 481. [7] John B Kauffman (C11) and Anna Long are listed in the Kauffman Genealogy, page 481, with daughter Maria (C111) and other childrenn including Michael Kauffman (C116, 1767-1839).
