II.	Elizabeth Weidman -	born on November 20,	1780 as found in the old
Bible. She married	Peter C. Warner	(son	of Christopher Warner, Sr.
and Elizabeth Engel) on April 23, 1801 at the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Schoharie, NY. She was confirmed at the Reformed Church in Berne in June 1798.
III.	Pster A. Weidman - born on November	10, 1782 in Berne, NY as already
covered. Peter and	his two sisters	were	all baptized at the St. Paul
Lutheran Church in Schoharie, NY.
Adam Weidman (Sr.) married a second time to Elizabeth Schaeffer (daughter of Martines Schaeffer and Sarah Martin Rickert). Elizabeth was born on September
10,	1757 according to the Family Bible. The Bible says she was first married to Jacob Zimmer who was killed by Indians on July 26, 1781. The Bible has her death in "Deem 1830" at age 73 yrs, 1 month, and 6 days. Adam A. Weidman and Elizabeth Schaeffer had the following children:
I.	Martin Weidman - born July 28, 1784 as listed in the Family Bible.
He is listed in the Bible as died on Oct. 29, 1869, age 85 yrs, 3 mo,
1 day. Part of this date was hard to read, but we feel certain this is correct after studying the original handwritten copy. He is also listed in the Bible as "Mathias Weidman."
II.	Hannah Weidman - born on May 1, 1786, and died February 24, 1790
according to the Bible. Her baptismal record list her as "Annatje" which is a Dutch name for females.
III.	Adam Weidman, Jr. - born on April 5, 1787 and died on March 24, 1877.
It was through his "Bible" that we have been able to verify many Weidman's connected to this family. While the current owner of this Bible, Walter Weidman, did a great service by making this information available to the public, care should be taken using his typed version. With the original handwriting in some places poor or faded, he made a few errors. We suggest using the original handwritten copy for any research. He married three times:
1)	Marie "Mary" Schoolcraft on January 29, 1809
2) Martha Fowler on September 3, 1825
3) Susannah Shepard on February 12, 1838 who was a "widow of Wm Cribb, & late widow of Samuel Hopkins."
By his first wife, Marie, Adam Weidman, Jr. had:
A. Elias Weidman - born on July 23, 1809.
B. Cady Ann Weidman - born on November 26, 1811
49
