IV.	Lany Weidman - born December	19,	1791. The old Bible	lists her as
"Lany Cass, died May 24, 1868."	Her baptismal record	shows her as
"Lena." She is listed in the 1850 census of Middleburgh, Schoharie Co., NY as "Lana Cass, age 59" in the home of David Cass, age 27, no others in home.
V.	Eva Weidman - born August 18, 1794. The old Bible lists her as "Eve Hallenbeck died Jan. 20, 1870." She is listed in the 1850 Census of Palermo, Oswego Co., NY as "Eve Holenbeck, age 56" with husband John Holenbeck, age 58, and one daughter, Harriet Holenbeck. Next door appears to be a son, David Holenbeck, age 30, with wife and one child. The name is also spelled Halenbeck, Hallenback, etc.
VI.	David Weidman - born October	29,	1798. He appears in	the 1860 census
of Seneca, Ontario Co., NY. He is age 62 with wife, Charlotte, age 59. We found the death record of Helen L. Catheart on January 31, 1908 in Muskegon, Muskegon Co., Michigan. The record shows her parents as David Weidman and Charlotte Hilligan.
VII.	John Weidman - born June 28,	1801 and died on January	30, 1874 as found
in the original handwritten copy of the Family Bible.
It should be noted that this Weidman Family Bible contains many names and dates that we have not listed here because of time and space. Most of the above children can also be found in the Baptismal Register at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Schoharie, NY.
Adam Weidman (Sr.) was the son of Jacob Weidman (Sr.) and Maria "Elisabeteh" Dietz based on information found in the Weidman Family Bible mentioned above. From this point, we will somewhat rely on other's research. We simply do not have access to the research material that others had at their disposal. We will list the pertinent facts from those researchers that we feel are the most logical and credible, especially Mr. Harold H. Miller. We also relied heavily on "More Palatine Families" by Henry Z. Jones, Jr., 1991 and "Families of Herkimer, Montgomery & Schoharie, NY" by William V.H. Barker, 1999. Both of these sources are excellent and well researched. Anyone wishing to do a more detailed study should have no problem doing so with the information presented here.
Jacob Weidman was born on October 22, 1720 in Steinmaur, Zurich Canton, Switzerland to Felix Weidman/Weidmann and Anna Surber. From this point we will use the double "nn" on the Weidmann name as that was the more common spelling in
