Hello All, My name is Clark Hallman. I live in Franconia Twp. Pa., near Skippack. I operate a business called Hallman's Creamery. Genealogy-wise I have traced my roots on many branches, most much farther than the Hallman line. I do not think there is a connection between Anthony Hallman and myself,even though I live near Skippack. There were Hallmans in this area before Anthony emigrated from Germany in 1710. Most of them are of Swedish descent. I have been in contact with some Hallmans from Sweden and Finland through business, (I do not have a definite link there either). They tell me the Hallman name went from Sweden to the palatinate region in the early 1200's during the Swedish conquest of Europe. My further historical research corroborates this. My furthest definite Hallman link is as follows: Israel Hallman b. 5/17/1828 m. Maria A Schmidt b. 12/22/1834 Jesse Hallman 10/20/1855 m. Susan Shelly b. 3/14/1858 Henry S. Hallman b. 8/11/1883 m. Emma L. Heller b. 10/30/1881 Lester C. Hallman b. 6/24/1902 m. Marian A. Kidd b. 2/13/1910 Lester C. Hallman Jr. b. 12/5/1931 m Joan Keller b 10/11/1935 Clark Hallman 9/18/55 (me) m. Sheryl A. Clancey b. (she does not let divulge the date) Israel and Jesse Hallman, as well as their wives are buried at the East Swamp Mennonite Church in Milford Twp., Bucks County Pa., just outside of Quakertown.
