Family #53 in the 1834 Grimm census.
Family #56 in the 1857 Grimm census.
The 1857 census lists him as a nephew of Georg Jakob Schäfer by an unnamed brother, but the 1834 census clearly says he was the son of Georg Heinrich Schäfer who passed away prior to 1857.
I've added missing brother Georg Heinrich, Anna Margaretha's husband, to this entry to show his relationship to the seven children starting with Child #4. She is likely the mother of all seven children. Brother Ernst is listed below Georg Heinrich's children. Georg Heinrich's youngest child was born in 1845, so he probably died between 1845 and 1850; his death was listed in the 1850 census. His unnamed wife may have remarried but left her children with their father's family, or she, too, may have been deceased.
