Last Will and Testament of Christian Haldeman (Halterman)
The Shenandoah Deeds Vol O and Q, also Shenandoah Will and InventoriesBook F 1802-1807 The will in the book shows an account of Christian Halterman's estate.His wife and children are listed.Book O, p 454 - 7 Oct 1805

Between Christian Haltiman and _____ his wife, Jacob Haltiman and _______ his wife of Lancaster County in State of Pennsylvania, George Grandstaff junr. and Barbara his wife, Abraham Haltiman and Sarah his wife, David Ross and Mary his wife, Jacob Graibill jun. and Eve his wife, Henry Haltiman and Peggy his wife, Adam Clem and Magdalene his wife, Elizabeth Haltiman, John Haltiman & PETER Haltiman all of the State of Virginia [to] Henry Walter junr. of Shenandoah County ... consideration of ______ current money to each ... parcel of land containing seventy six acres ... lying & being in Powels big fort ... being granted to Christian Haltiman (now deceased) by Patent the 4th Oct 1800 ... the said Christian Haltiman departed this life Intestate and the tract of land descended to all his children ... Corner to Jacob Copperstone and Philip Munch ...Corner to George Hawn's late survey... Wit: none Jacob HaltermanGeorge (X) Grandstaff

Also Bk Q, p396 - 9 Jan 1809 - more of the same and also lists Eve Haltiman as widow and relict of Christian Haltiman relinquishing her dower rights at an Indenture of Bargain and Sale. The above last will and testament confirms the children of Christian Halterman (Haldiman, Haltiman, Holtman, whatever) and Eve (allegedly Bradigan). Some research sites I have found, do not list John Halterman, our ancestor, as a child of Christian and Eve, but this last will and testament does. Woo-hoo! It's always nice to get that last bit of confirmation which verifies information.

NOTE
Eve Haldeman (190923269)

Suggested edit: Eve ????? [last name unknown] married to Christian Halterman 1745-1804

Thank you for working on the Christian Halterman family.

My research in Lancaster, PA and Shenandoah, VA shows that Christian Halterman 1745-1804 married Eve ???, however there is no documentation known yet of her maiden name.

There is an Eve Elizabeth Bradigan 1747-1809 L15J-X8F on familysearch.org shown married to the 3 following persons: Christopher Halterman 1741–1814 • L8WP-LVC, Christian Haldeman 1743–1785 GZFP-MXZ, and Jacob Christian Haldeman 1743–1790 LHZN-ZFJ.

None of these men are the same Christian Halterman, 1745–1804 LDBN-DDS, that is shown on this findagrave listing.

I suggest that Eve Elizabeth Bradigan NOT be connected to Christian Halterman, 1745-1804 until further research is conducted.

Thank you so much, Debbie Halterman Taylor
