Excerpt from The Genealogy and Historical Sketch of the Stouffer Family While the direct genealogy of persons bearing the family name is lost for a considerable length of time, there is no doubt that the family and name survived, and there is also strong reason to presume that the modern Stauffer or Stouffer are direct descendants of those early Stauffers who attained Imperial dignity. The genealogy can be taken up in 1630, from which date our family record can be positively traced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
