A German church record shows that Johannes Heinrich Schaaf, a son of Johannes Schaaf (1767-1844) and Anna Maria Gonter (1783-1859), was born in Oberkleen, Hessen, Germany.

Johannes Heinrich married Anna Christina Rühl on December 23, 1830, in Oberkleen. Seven children were born in Germany:
- Peter (1832-1842)
- Elisabetha Margaretha (1834-1901)
- Anna Katharina (1836-1840)
- Konrad (1838-1839)
- Johannes (1840-1840)
- Katharina "Catherine" (1840-1924)
- Heinrich "Henry" (1843-1926)

Johannes, Christina, and their three surviving children (Elisabetha, Katharina, Heinrich) immigrated to Canada West (now Ontario) in 1846. They settled in Waterloo Township, making their home at Waldau (now located at the intersection of Trussler Road and Highland Road West, Kitchener, Ontario).

Two children were born in Canada West:
- William (1846-1910)
