birth as 1857, various censuses all indicate she was born in 1858. We feel the census is probably correct. The record also says she lived last in Duanesburg, NY but died in the Schenectady County Nursing Home in Delanson, NY on January 29, 1940. She is buried in the Grove Cemetery in that town without a headmarker. The record said she was the widow of Lucius Castle and her parents are also named. Hannah is listed in the 1860 census of Middleburgh, NY with her family. She is age 2 (born 1858) that year. She is still with her family in the 1870 census of Middleburgh at age 12 (1858).
She and her husband, Lucius Castle, are living with her mother in the 1880 census of Middleburgh. She is age 22(1858). She is also found in the 1900 census of Duanesburg, Schenectady Co. NY as born in "May 1858" with her husband and two "nephews", Herbert Weidman, born July 1886 and Stanley Weidman, born January 1890. These are, of course, sons of her brother, Ezra A. Weidman. Based on her obituary notice, no children are mentioned. With this and no children listed in the census records, we can assume she had no children.
V.	Almon Weidman - born in 1862 in Middleburgh, NY as found in the 1870
census of that city where he was living with his family. He is also found in the 1875 state census of Middleburgh with his family at age 13 (1862). He next appears	in the 1880 census	of Gallupville,
Schoharie Co., NY	at age 17	(1863) living with	his sister, Mary
E.	Weidman in the home of John Hotaling and his family. Both Weidmans are listed as "laborer" for their occupation.
Almon appears in the 1900 census of Albany, NY as born in "May 1862", married 13 years, with wife "Anna A. Weidman" and son "Allan A. Weidman," born	May 1896.	In the 1905 state	census, he is listed	in
Albany, NY at age	41 (1864)	with wife, "Nannie	Weidman" and son	"Allen
A.	Weidman", age 8. They are living in the home of Fred B. Keller and family with no obvious connection.
In the Schenectady city directories, Almon is listed next to "Allan B. Weidman." Allan B. Weidman is listed again with wife "Ann
F.	Weidman." Then, in the January 21, 1938 edition of "The Enterprise" of Altamont, NY, we find Allan B. Weidman is advertising probate for "Almon Weidman, late of the city of Albany." Thus, Almon died in 1938 in Albany, NY.
There is an Alonzo Weidman, born in 1875 based on the 1920 census of Middleburgh, NY. In 1920 he was "widowed" and was living with "Levi Weidman", age 33, his "nephew". This Alonzo is clearly the son of Jacob J. Weidman, and brother of Ephraim Weidman, who had a son called Levi that was born on June 15, 1887. Some have misidentified this Alonzo as our Almon.
VI.	Martha Weidman - born in 1865 as listed in the 1870 census of Middleburg, NY where she was living with her family. She next appears in the 1880 census of Wright, Schoharie Co. at age 15, servant, in the
