I believe the Henry you may be seeking was the son of Henry Hallman B. May 1716, D. Oct 1803, buried in Lower Skippack Mennonite Church, Skippack, PA. If this is the correct Henry, he was born on 24 Mar 1745 (I do not have a death date). He has a sister Anne Catherine Hallman B. 7 Aug 1739 and she married Jacob Griesemer. Perhaps with the German ancestry/language the spellings have changed a bit. Henry also had a brother Anthony B. 8 Nov 1742 D. 3 Dec 1794. He married Mary Streyper. My records were obtained from the Hallman Family Association in PA. It has also been my pleasure to visit the Lower Skippack Mennonite Church and see the graves of many Hallmans, including our original Hallman, Anthony, who came to America some time around 1724 and settled in Montgomery County PA. I hope this is helpful to you.
