Faith: Your information is the same information I have for this Jacob Hallman, son of Henry Hallman. Further, from my recent visit to Lower Skippack Mennonite cemetery the stones indicate he (Jacob) was married to "Maria" who was born in 1757 and died in 1827. I believe Edie was looking for another Jacob who was the son of Benjamin Hallman and Franconia Gotwals. He was born on 5 Sep 1799 and died on 28 Feb 1856. This Jacob was married to Mary Shoemaker. Best wishes and keep up the great work.
