looking for information and family of Sara Ann Paff married to Joseph Sevits.

Emma Paff m. Iden Monroe Hittle Sr

JosephAHittle — 4 Sep 2006 2:02:31 GMT

Emma and Iden were my grandparents. I am a son of their youngest son. I'm 40 years younger than my father and he was close to being that much younger than grandpa.

So, I never met my grandparents.

Emma passed away in 1949 and is buried in Salem Cemetery, about 4-5 miles north of Hebron, Indiana. b. March 28, 1878; d. February 24, 1949; m. Iden Hittle September 30, 1893, Berrien County, Michigan

Her father appears to be Jacob Paff. b. June 13, 1840; d. September 26, 1901; m. Margaret K/Cramer July 9, 1866, Lacrosse County, Wisconsin. Jacob is buried in Berrien County, Michigan.

Her grandfather appears to be Heinrich Paff, grandmother Elizabeth Hikelsberger. These 2 probably lived and died in or near Orbis, Bavaria.

I never met my grandmother. I also have never knowingly met any of my Paff (or other surnamed) cousins. My understanding is that Emma did have siblings.

I wouldn't mind having the opportunity to put that void into the "filled column" of my life. If you are, or know of anyone who would be interested in meeting lost cousins, please let me know!

William P. Paff

jerryyda61 — 5 Aug 2003 2:21:09 GMT

Born in 1826 in New York. His parents were both of German heritage. After spending many years in the merchant marines, he moved westward (Sedalia, MO) in 1867. There he became Sheriff, and later died (1883). He was a very wealthy man for his time. Was is a self-made wealth? Who were his parents? Frederick Paff was in New York about the time of his birth (1830), but is gone in 1840 (William's parents took him back to Germany when he was 14). Any ideas?
