With this line of ancestors complete, we will now take our Weidman line back several more generations.
We will now back up and complete the "Weidman" lineage of this report. As covered earlier, Ezra A. Weidman's parents were Noah Weidman and Nancy Willman. Noah Weidman was the son of Peter A. Weidman and Eve Miller and was born on April 26, 1820 at Beaverdam (now Berne) Albany, Co., NY. His date of birth is found on his July 1820 baptismal record at the Dutch Reformed Church in that town. He died around 1873 in Middleburgh, Schoharie Co., NY. This date is assigned because he shows up in the 1870 U.S. census of Middleburgh and is absent from the 1875 state census of Middleburgh that listed his wife and children. He is surely buried in Huntersland, Schoharie Co., NY because that is where his wife is buried per her death certificate. As of this date we have been unable to find either of their burial spots. Based on census records, he was a farmer by trade. These families seem to be living in Huntersland, Middleburgh, Berne, Schoharie - small rural towns all within several miles of each other, but in three different counties. Noah Weidman married Nancy Willman around 1850 based on the age of their oldest child - Reubin, born in 1851. They probably married in Middleburgh, NY based on her place of birth and the place of birth of their children - all Middleburgh. Their connection is found on the marriage record of their son,
Ezra, in 1885 where he names his parents as "Noah Weidman and Nancy Wilhman." Also, the marriage record of their daughter, Martha Weidman in 1886 names her parents as "Noah Weidman and Nancy Wilhman."
Noah and Nancy appear in the 1855 census of Middleburgh, NY with his age 37, farmer, and her age 30, Reuben age 4, and Ezra age 2. In 1860 they are listed with children Reuben 9, Ezra 8, Mary 3, and Hannah 2. In the 1870 census of Middleburgh the children are:	Reuben,	age 19, Ezra A. 17, Hanna A. 12, Almon
8, Martha 5, and George W. 1. In the 1875 state census	of Middleburgh	is	Nancy
Weidman age 56, Reuben 24, Ezra 22, Mary 19, Hannah 18,	Almon 13, and
George W. age 6. In 1880 we find Reuben Weidman age 28, Mary (wife) 18, son Jerome 1 mo., Nancy Weidman 51 (mother), and George 11 (brother). They were living in Broome, Schoharie Co., NY that year.
Nancy Willman (also spelled Willmann, Wildman, Willmon, Wilham, Wilhan, etc.) was the daughter of Conrad Willman and Mary Elizabeth Bateholts. She was born in Middleburgh, NY according to her death certificate filed in the town of Middleburgh. The record also said she died in Huntersland, NY on Sept. 21, 1887 at age 60 (1827) and is buried in Huntersland Christian Cemetery. This record names her parents as "Conrad Willman and Mary E. Willman." In the 1880 census of Middleburgh, she is age 50, living with her daughter Hannah Castle and in 1880 she is again living in nearby Broome, Schoharie Co., NY	with her son,	Reuben
Weidman and his family. The children of Noah and Nancy	Weidman are:
