7	Anthony's birthplace has not to date been determined. However it isknown that he emigrated from Germany some time prior to 1730 when he was naturalized in Philadephia (Rupp, p. 434). According to Muhlenberg's Journals, he was a Church Warden in the Augustus Lutheran Church in Trappe, PA, and his name (Antonius Heilman) is on the date stone of that church.It is probable that his extended family emigrated to the Colonies about the same time. This would include daughter Dorothea and her husband Johannes Heizer, who had a practically newborn son whom they left behind in Germany. the son was sent to join his parents later. This would pinpoint the move to the Colonies between the birth of Dorothea's son and her husband's purchase of land in 1727, Phil. Co.Children's name are taken from their father's LWT.	Anthony Hallman
8	Benjamin Halman, was born September 18th, 1783, in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County, Pa., where he followed farming. During the great financial depressions from 1816 until 1827 many of that calling in Montgomery and other counties failed financially, and in order to save their creditors from losing any money, the distressed farmers sold their farms at a great sacrifice and paid their debts, and with whatever little balance left they wended their way to Canada where land could be had cheap and thus made another attempt to gain a free home. And as a rule all these parties in a very few years were possessors of valuable farms. Such was the case with Benjamin, our Canadian progenitor. He suffered financially during the great crisis as aforesaid, and finding things to his advantage, he moved to Canada with his family in 1825. They left Montgomery County, Pa, on the 6th of May with two double horse teams and one single horse team. They crossed the Niagara River from Lewiston to Queenston on a large "Flat Boat." Then they wended their way up to Dundas and through the Beverly Swamp to Waterloo County, arriving at Jacob Rosenberger's near Preston, where they made a stay of three days. Thence they moved on a farm two miles west of Waterloo. Here he resided until spring (1826) when he moved to North Dumfries Township, about one mile east of Roseville, where he had purchased a most beautiful farm of about 200 acres, then nearly all forest. This farm is now (about 1910) in possession of Ephraim, son of Menno H. Hallman. Here the old Grandfather died full of years, September 10th, 1869. He was a member of the Mennonite Church, and lived a strictly moral life. His principles of Christianity were always a foremost in his dealings with his fellowmen. His advice to his grand children, of whom the writer was one, was always good. Our earliest recollection of him is when he held us on his knee and instructed us to be a good boy. Three of his sons and a number of Grand sons and Great Grand sons entered the ministry, On September 2nd, 1802, he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and Margaret (Harley) Detweiler. She was born August 8th, 1784, and died August 9th, 1856. To them was born a numerous family, all of which were born in Montgomery County, Pa., save the youngest, Hannah and Wendel, who were born in Waterloo County, Ontario.	Benjamin Hallman

His family consisted of twelve children, all of whom, save the youngest, are of the first wife. He was one of those firm minded men of whom not a few were to be found among those old fathers who came from Pennsylvania. Though of a kindly disposition and high moral principles, when once his mind was made up, it was difficult for him to change it. He was a member of the Mennonite Church, and adhered strictly to these principles to his death. His life and conduct were such as would make an impression for good on his fellowmen and family. Though he was inclined, perhaps, to discount the views of others if they did not agree with him on religious lines, yet, we have reason to believe he was honest in his convictions. He lived on the old homestead.	Joseph Hallman

Active, faithful, disinterested and self-sacrificing devotion for the teaching of that which he regards as truth and Gospel teaching, are marked features of his character. Like some others, his firmness and extreme conscientiousness would perhaps at times put a discount on the faith of others who did not see eye to eye with him, but no one could doubt his sincerity and honesty. He has always been highly respected by those who knew him best. He sought to teach his family the principles so prominently manifest in his own life, and to bring them up in the fear of the Lord.

He left on a Sunday afternoon without any money and only a little bundle of clothes. He earned his way as he went. When, after two years of a stay he had earned some money he returned home, where he remained till the following spring, when he persuaded his father and mother and remainder of the family to go back with him to Canada. Sometime after his arrival he was married to Eva, daughter of Christian and Polly (Ruth) Strome. She was born Sept. 9th, 1805, and died July 11th, 1886. Soon after their marriage they moved on their farm of about 200 acres, in Wilmot Tp., about two and one half miles north of New Dundee, where they resided until their deaths. In 1837 he was called to the ministry of the Mennonite Church, which body he served faithfully for over forty years. His sermons were always plain, practical, and accompanied with a strong appeal to the younger members of the congregation to live up to the teachings of the Scriptures. His great and only desire was that he might pass the rest of his days in the humble yet honorable service in the ministry of the Lord, to which he was so sincerely attached. His companionship was always pleasant. Even in his last months of suffering, when the writer was privileged to take his turn with one of his grand sons, once a week to watch over him during the night, he always had an encouraging and instructive word for us boys. How blessed these memories are to those of us who are following them to the same future home. What lasting impressions for good they have left. He died March 23rd, 1878. His family consists of six children.	Jacob Hallman

In __ he moved to Berlin, Ontario, where he is still living (written about 1905-1910). Nearly 40 years ago he was ordained to the ministry of the River Brethren (Dunkards) denomination. As a father he always sought to give his children wholesome advice. He was always very strict in training his children, sometimes we children thought perhaps a little too strict, but the writer at least does not think so now. As early as the writer can recollect, the family was gathered together every morning, and while we were all quietly seated father would read a chapter out of the Bible, followed by an earnest simple These moments made and left a deep impression on the minds of the children, and must certainly have been a source of strength to those who were followers of Christ. His most earnest desire has always been that all his children might be saved. As a minister he is well liked by his congregation and others. Immigrated in 1907, naturalized. U.S. Census 1910, Fremont Twp, Sanilac Co, MI (widowed, living with daughter and son-in-law, Sarah & Noah Donnenworth)	Wendell Hallman

They remained there until in the spring of 1836, when they purchased a farm of about 150 acres one mile west of New Dundee. Here they resided until their deaths. The earliest recollections of this dear old aunt by the writer, are her kind words with which she always welcomed us as children to her home. She always had something to give to the children to make them happy. It was like going to one's own mother to come to her comfort and advice. Strictly moral and upright in her life, she sought to teach her family according to her own convictions. Her admonitions to her own and others were always of a religious nature. Many a happy day did the writer spend at their home when a boy. They were both members of the Tunker (River Brethren) Church. He died March 2nd, 1893. They had a family of ten children.	Veronica Hallman
