I was reading your email because of the Berger (not mine), when I realized that Halleman is the name of the cemetery near Coventry, PA in which my ancestors, Jacob and Sarah Updegrove are supposed to be buried. I was also told Seventh Day Baptist. The Chester Co hist soc told me thay had never heard of it. The Seventh Day Baptist national headquarters couldn't give me any help. Can you?
