See father, Martin SCHAUB, for other notes. Christian Schaup married Barbara (unk) and settled on 150 acres along the Big Beaver Creek, about 2 miles north of the present-day town of New Providence, Lancaster Co. The creek is the border between Strasburg and (then) Martic (now New Providence),Townships. The estate was actually in Strasburg Twp. Christian purchased the land from Jacob Groff, grandson of immigrant Hans Groff, but died before the deed was filed. Christian's will, written in 1748, three years before his death, left the estate to his four sons, John, Christian, Martin and Henry. The will was rejected by the court, since he couldn't transfer property that wasn't officially his. Jacob Groff, a close family friend, agreed to sell the land to Barbara, and in 1756 she in turn sold it to son John in exchange for her perpetual care. But John married (Elizabeth Bean) and in 1762 sold the land back to Barbara and moved to Donegal Twp where he died in 1783. Barbara then willed the land to son Christian (Elizabeth Schenk). Her son Martin died in his minority, never marrying.

From Dave Shaffer 3 Nov 2005
Immigrant Martin Schaub's (Sr) son Christian Schaup remained in Lancaster Co, PA. He was the progenitor of three major lines of Shaubs/Shaups by sons John, Christian, and Henry. His fourth son, Martin, died young without issue. I am descended from son John Shaub, as follows:
Martin Schaub
Christian Schaup/ Barbara
John Shaup/ Elizabeth Bean
John Shaup/ Elizabeth Gochenour
John Shaub/ Elizabeth Bair
John Shaub/ Susan Scott
Sarah Shaub was the thirteenth child of John Shaub and Susan Scott. She was my grandmother.
My father (Shaffer) was born out of wedlock to Sarah Shaub. I never found a clue as to who the father was. Likely he died during WW1.
Born in 1944, I graduated from the Engineering school at Temple University in Philadelphia. Fran, my wife and I spent a career in the military service, then as a mechanical engineer, but have not been working due to worsening pain from being disabled in Vietnam. I needed something to do that was both challenging and fun. Every day I learn something new.
