Frederick David Schaeffer (15 November 1760 – 27 January 1836) was a German-American Lutheran clergyman.

Biography

Frederick David Schaeffer was born at Frankfurt am Main in Hesse, Germany. In 1768 he was sent to the gymnasium in Hanau. When both of his parents died, he left the gymnasium.[1] In 1776 he emigrated with an uncle to the United States, but shortly after their arrival the uncle died, and he was left destitute. After teaching in York County, Pennsylvania, he studied theology with Rev. Jacob Goering (1755–1807).[1] He was licensed by the Pennsylvania Ministerium in 1786 and ordained in the Lutheran ministry during 1788.[2]

Schaeffer became pastor of Lutheran congregations at Carlisle (1786–1790);[1] Germantown (St. Michael's; 1790–1812), and from 1812 to 1834 was the colleague of Rev. Dr. Justus Henry Christian Helmuth in Philadelphia. He received the degree of D.D. in 1813 from the University of Pennsylvania.[1]

In 1834, in consequence of the infirmities of age, he relinquished the ministry, and moved to Frederick, Maryland.

The last named died at 25, leaving a son, Charles William, to become a Lutheran clergyman.[1]
