Lt. Hiram Michael Waltman

Historians and genealogists are not sure that Hiram is the son of Michael Waltman, son of Conrad. There is just as good a chance that he is the son of Michael, who was the son of the immigrant Emanuel Waltman.

Michael was another son who broke away from the rest of the family. Was he another one that could not get along with his father: He went to Maryland, and his sons went to Indiana. A prominent line. A soldier and pensioner.

CHAPTER XX

DESCENDANTS OF LIEUT. HIRAM MICHAE L WALTMAN2 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord."— Psalms, xxxvii, 23

LIEUT. HIRAM MICHAEL WALTMAN2 was the eighth child of Conrad Waltman. He was named Hiram for his father's grandfather, Count ^J Hiram von Frundsberg. He was always called by his second name, Michael, and enlisted under that name. The records show that just previous to the war he owned real estate in Philadelphia near his brother William. He joined a Maryland regiment and after the war he lived and died in Frederick County, Maryland. He died in 1829 and was buried in the Apple's Churchyard, in Maryland.

He was in Captain Stull's Company of Col. John Gunly's Regiment of Maryland Troops. He enlisted for three years and was at White Plains and Valley Forge. His name first appears on a company roll dated at WhitePlains, September 9, 1778, and last appears on a list from the Commissioner's office, November 2, 1784, showing the issue of a certificate for money due for services rendered. After this chapter was set up, came a last minute note from D. Russell Talbott, the State Commissioner of the Maryland Land Office, Annapolis, saying he had found it recorded that this Micfiael Waltman had served as a Lieutenant of Maryland Troops. Nearly all of this chapter has been written by Rev. Walter V. Waltman, a high A. S. L. official of Michigan. Occasionally a note or a date has been added. Otherwise it is entirely his composition.

REV. WALTER Y. WALTMAN'S HISTORY O F LIEUT . HIRA M MICHAEL WALTMAN'S LIN E In preparing a family history, I confess that I am inexperienced. Mrs. Lora S. LaMance has asked me to prepare a history of my branch of the Waltman family, which takes us back to the days of Hiram Michael Waltman, one of the sons of Conrad Waltman, who was the founder of the Waltman family in America.

He married Mary (Polly) Prutzman when he was about 35. There were four sons, Thomas, Michael, Jr., Peter and Jacob, and four daughters, Roxy and Margaret, Mary Elizabeth and Caroline Rebecca. Michael was named for himself; Peter's full name was Peter Hiram, after his father's great-grandfather and his uncle Peter. Jacob was named for Lieut. Michael's brother-in-law, Jacob Kuder. Margaret was named for her aunt, Margaret Yonce. Two of Lieut. Michael's sons, Thomas and Michael, Jr., went to Brown County, Indiana, in the days of the big land rush, 1837. Old letters that are still preserved in the family show that their sisters and their brother Peter kept up a correspondence with them. Here are the facnniles of one of these brothers and of their sister, Caroline Rebecca Waltman Zimmerman.

Direct your letter to Utica Mills, Frederick County, Md. Written by Caroline Rebecca Zimmerman. Here are the only records of six of the children of Michael and Polly Waltman's children. The order of births not known. But as Michael Waltman Senior was born about 1750, and was married about thirty-five years later to a wife at least ten years younger than himself, we can see that his widow, Polly, nearly or quite ninety when the letter of 1850 was written, was indeed old and feeble. The children born before 1800 were Jacob/ Mary Elizabeth/ Peter/ Roxy3 and Margaret.3 After 1800, the children were Caroline Rebecca/ Thomas/ born 1804, and Michael Junior/ born 1808.

JACOB WALTMAN. 3

An elderly man in 1850. Apparently never married. He had his home with his brother-in-law, William Long. MARY ELIZABETH WALTMAN / married William Long. They not only made a home for her bachelor brother Jacob, but raised the three younger children of her brother Peter, after his wife died. No children known of their own.

PETER ( HIRAM ) WALTMAN. 3 His wife was Nancy. They had a son Michael4 and a daughter Susan/ sizable children in 1838, and Susan was married and had a child before 1850. When the wife Nancy died in the 1840's, there were two younger boys old enough to go to school, and a little daughter. Their aunt, Mrs. William Long/ took them and raised them.
