THE WEDAMAN'S:Information about Mathias Whitman Weideman
Mathias Whitman Weideman (b. 1677, d. Abt. 1745)
Notes for Mathias Whitman Weideman:
The Whitman(Weidhmann,Weidman) Family is from Durlach,Baden,Germany. Through Mathias (1680-1734),who settled in Lancaster County (then Chester County) Pa. in 1733.
The name Weitman/Whitman/Wedenman/Weedingman/Wedaman are all possibly related from the Burk County or Lancaster County Pa. area settlement.
According to the Wideman Family in Canada and United States; a
genealogical record 1803-1955 by Norman E Wideman & Enoch Martin Widema
Mathias arrived in Philadelphia August 22, 1733 on board the ship
"Elizabeth". he settled in Hempfield Township, Lancaster County, on a
100-acre farm which he bought on December 3, 1761. he sold it February
6, 1767 and moved to Codurus Township now in York county where he
purchased 192 acres at the Forks of Condorus Creek on the west side of
the Susquehanna River. It is probable that he was of Swiss origin but
when the family left Switzerland they fled to the Palatinate and latter
Philadelphia.
NOTE:
I can not see this being the elder Mathias of the Ship Elizabeth.It seems unlikely a man would buy 100 acers at age 84 or 85.Would be quite an accomplishment just to live that long, more or less to farm it another 6 years. Additionally, he is pro ported to be dead abt 1743-1745.Just does not make since unless it is the son Mathew Whitemanage 34 born 1699 or the Grandson Mathias Whiteman "Weidtman".Far more likely to be the Grand Son who would have been 35 at the time.
