My ancestor, Henry Hallman, appeared in North Carolina in 1767 when as Henry Holdman, Jr., he bought 225 acres of land in Mecklenberg Co., and 320 acres of land in present day Lincoln Co. He is mentioned in several other land transactions and also was appointed a Justice at the first sitting of the court of Tryon County in 1768. In one of the deeds it specifies he was from Pennsylvania. He died in Lincoln Co. in 1820 - I have his will. I have not been able to locate the burial places of either Henry or his son Anthony, but subsequent generations are buried at the Salem Lutheran Church cemetery near Lincolnton. In addition, Henry's sister Catherine migrated to North Carolina. She was married to Jacob Creasamer, and they are both buried at the Salem church cemetery. These early generations are enumerated in Jo White Linn's book, "Ancestry of Sim/Hallman Families". The book was published privately in 1994, but I understand it is now available. It is on her newest book list. There was an earlier book "Hallmans and Related Families in America", published in 1974 by Isaac Powell Hallman. The North Carolina branch is mentioned in chapter 5. It was this book which was the springboard for my genealogy research, and our discovery of the Pennsylvania connection. In 1993 I met Mrs. Linn, and was able to contribute some of the facts she used in her book. She has been an invaluable help to me in my research, and a good friend. Hope to hear from someone who can give me more information about Henry. I have never been able to find his birth date, for instance. Anybody have it? Hopes this helps someone. Nancy
