SOURCE: "HOLDEMAN DESCENDANTS" by Edwin L. Weaver, Vol I, page 9
Nicholas Haldeman came in 1727 to Pennsylvania from the canton Bern, Switzerland, by way of Holland, accompanied by his two brothers, Hans and Michael, as well as by his wife and children. Hans Haldeman and Michael Haldeman each purchased 150 acres of land in Chester County, the deed for the purchase of the latter being recorded February 8, 1734, and for the former May 7, 1737 (Pennsylvania Arhives, Third Series, Vol. 24) They undoubtedly boutht other tracts later. The land obtained by Michael was in Coventry Township.
Nicholas Haldeman purchased a tract of land in Salford Township, in the vicinity of Skippack, Montgomery County, which was then and until September 10, 1784, a part of Philadelphia County. The records of the original homestead are entirely complete, dating from the William Penn grant in 1695, through the several successive ownerships before being conveyed to Nicholas Haldeman. The land was deeded to him August 13, 1728. He held the property fourteen years, and in 1742 sold it to his son, Nichoals, Jr., who in 1765 transferred the title to Isaac Markley for the sum of 800 pounds sterling. All records are clear through four additional transfers, the last being made in 1882 from Abraham Landis to Franklin S. Tyson, Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Nicholas Haldeman was one of the trustees in the founding of the Lower Salford Mennonite Church in 1738. His name heads the list of those to whom the meetinghouse, and tract of land on which it stood, was transferred by the ministers and deacons for the congregation. (See "Perkiomen Region", April 1932, Page 69). He was also one of the seventy-seven signers to a petition to Governor patrick Gordon, dated May 10, 1728, in which the inhabitants of the frontier asked for protection from the Indians. The signers called themselves "the back inhabitors about Falkner's Swamp and New Goshenhoppen (See"Perkiomen Region", April 1932, Page 75). The name of Nicholas Haldeman is included in a list of German, Dutch, and French inhabitants of Philadlephia County who owned land and paid quit rents prior to 1734. One hundred acres are ascribed to him (I. D. Rupp, "Thirty Thousand Immigrants", Page 477).
At a session of the supreme Court of Pennsylvania, held April 12th and 13th, 1743 in Philadelphia, a number of persons were naturalized who had conscientious scruples against taking the oath. Among them were Nicholas Haldeman of Chester County, and Nicholas Haldeman, Jr., and Christian Haldeman, both of Philadelphia County. The latter two were sons of Nicholas, and had been born in Switzerland.
After Nicholas Haldeman had sold his farm in Salford Township, Montgomery County, then Philadelphia County, he removed to Chester County, where he purchased on April 12, 1743, a tract of land containing 200 acres ("Pennsylvania Archives", Third Series, Vol. 24).
