Faith, thanks for the posting of Clark's Hallman History. It is so interesting. And thanks to Walt and others who answered my query about Henry Hallman. I feel that the Henry who was born on 24 Mar 1745 is the one who migrated to North Carolina, but evidently I am not able to nail it down. Does anyone know of another Henry who was born in Pennsylvania around that time? If I am connecting Henry to the wrong family, I want to find that out. I did not have his birth date before I heard from Walt and Doris. Thanks to both of you, and all who answered my posting. The facts I know: A Henry Hallman appeared in North Carolina in the 1760's. He bought property, and one of the deeds says he was from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He sells the property to Anthony Hallman, also from Pennsylvania. An Anthony Hallman was married in Rowan County NC in 1774. Both these men had extensive land holdings and were prominent in court proceedings of the day. Who were they? Were they father and son, or some other relationship? If Henry was born in 1745, and his son married in 1774, they both married very young indeed. Possible, but not too probable. By the way, is there still a Hallman Family Association? Nancy in Texas
