Listed between Catharine's parents, John & Polly SHAFFER, and Samuel LYON and his family. Samuel was born in Ireland, so I have to assume his living next door is a coincidence. If not, that is, if he's a later immigration of the same family, then we have the wrong origin for Harvey's immigrant ancestor.
