No work has been done on this page. It will be a collection of information about one or more Peter Eddleman who have not been identified. Most refer to USA, but some are notes from Germany. I have begun with eg680 and will remove the data from this page that is found to refer to "John" Peter Edelmann of PA.
EGL note: (Harold Eddleman): I do not know anything about this Edelman of PA. James Groce supplied most of these notes from the WHE Collection. I have merely collected the messages from EDL which may refer to this Edelman. If you are a descendant of this John Peter Edelman please volunteer to edit this page. bohon@shrsys.hslc.org is the e-mail address for the Easton Public Libary which sits on the graveyard where (see below) is buried. HLE will write again to see if the family history is still at the Library. This is an early draft - - much of the material below almost certianly belongs to other Peter Edelmann. EGL has misplaced some notes on Maria Elizabeth Tommer (Pommer) Edelman.
Introduction by James Groce

Eddleman, Dorchester, Massachusetts during the period 1957-1964. "John" Peter Edelman and his wife, Maria Elizabeth Tommer Edelman arrived in Philadelphia on Sept 5, 1730. See the remainder of James Groce's letters below.

Dear EDL, here is a "draft" which introduces this Edelman
family and which is based on the correspondence between
Ms. Donna Elaine Edelman, Easton, Pennsylvania and Mr. William H. Eddleman, Dorchester, Massachusetts during the period 1957-1964.
"John" Peter Edelman and his wife, Maria Elizabeth Tommer Edelman arrived in Philadelphia on Sept 5, 1730.
They were among the earliest settlers in the area of Williams township, near Easton, PA. Donna wrote "according to my recollection Dad said that my grandfather traced John Peter Edelman to Seilbach, in the County of Hachenburg, and was recognized as a member of the Reformed Church." "I understand my grandfather's information was gotten from the church book of the Congregation of the Forks of the Delaware (Lutheran)". This church was located on Old Philadelphia Road, "Mammy Morgan's Hill", at present day Easton, PA.

<Snip>
I'm researching the family of a Peter Eddleman in Rowan County, NC and though the details of my information differs somewhat from that sent by KDCimini there are enough similarities that I feel we could both be researching the same family. I'll give some of the details of the first three generations as I have them and let KD decide if we need to discuss this family further.
Most of this information is from a research paper written by Mary M. Ward about 1960 and was forwarded to me courtesy of Dr. Bill Eddleman when I first joined the list.. I haven't confirmed the accuracy of any of the details but hope to do so soon and to compile a descending genealogy on all of Peter's children.
Peter Eddleman was born Ca. 1716 in Erbach, Hesse, Germany. He arrived in Philadelphia about 1749, married Catharina Gehric in 1751 and settled in Northampton County (formally Bucks County) PA. They had three known children all born in PA. The family migrated to Rowan County, NC about 1768 and settled in the area of the Organ Lutheran Church.
1. Catharina Elizabeth Eddleman born on 13 May 1761. I have no further information on her.
2. John Eddleman married Kitty Bliss on 5 Jan 1789 in Rowan County. They had 7 known children: Catharina in 1791, John in 1793, Elizabeth in 1795, Adam in 1799, Joseph in 1804, Sophia in 1807 and Thomas in 1811. (The names of these children are from the IGI and I have no further information them).
3. Peter Eddleman Jr. married Catherine Earry on 31 Jan 1787 in Rowan County. They had 3 known children: 1. Philip born 19 Nov 1787 married Sarah (surname unknown) and died 7 Dec 1854. 2. Peter born about 1789 married Polly Linn on 17 Dec 1812. 3. Catherine born 17 Feb 1791 married John Casper on 20 Jan 1813 in Rowan County. Catherine Earry died shortly after the birth of the third child and Peter Eddleman Jr. married second Elizabeth Cruse about 1792. They had 6 known children: 1. Adam born in 1793 married Catherine Lippard on 8 May 1815 in Rowan County. This family migrated to Carroll and Attala Counties in MS (I have considerable information on several of their descendants). 2. Elizabeth born in 1797 married Jacob File on 13 Mar 1817. 3. Sarah born 4 Feb 1799 married Adam Goodman on 20 Sep 1816. 4. Suzannah born 9 Sep 1803 married Henry Ludwick (Luttrick). This family migrated to MS and eventually to Henderson County, TX (I have some information on their descendants). 5. Sophia born 29 Dec 1805 married Conrad Casper. 6. Henry born 5 Feb 1795 died young.

What is the source of your information about the birth and marriage? I have a lot of information on this family, and I had Catherine Gehrig as the wife, and had never found a marriage date. Other researchers had assumed old Peter was born in Germany, and this pre-dates any known Edelman/Eddleman immigration by 15 years. Rowan Co. deeds prove that there was at least one other son--John--who lived in Cabarrus Co., NC later.
> >John Peter Eddleman, born October 10, 1758. Married Catharine Earey on >January 31, 1787 in Rowan County, North Carolina. I only know of one of their >children: Philip Eddleman.
Where did you find the birth date for John Peter? Organ Lutheran Church records and his estate settlement papers document his other children. Apparently Peter and Catharine had 3 children (Philip, Peter, and Catharine). Catharine died (Pastor Storch records list his preaching a funeral for Peter Eddleman's wife), and Peter remarried Elizabeth Kruse/Cruss. They had additional children.
> >Philip Eddleman, born November 19, 1787. Married Sarah H. Duke. Children were >Simon Peter, John A., and Alexander. Philip died on December 7, 1854.
Again, I had never found Philip's wife's surname. What is your source?

The above information is based on sources believed to be reliable. Certainly, mistakes are possible and regretted where they occur.

Msg#: 338711 To: Indbio Re: Peter Eddleman Dear HArold,
Peter of Philadelphia; Joe Kenworthy Eddleman ancestor
The information I tried to send before is as follows: Peter Edelman
Sr. who was born cir. 1698 in Germany and came to this country on Sept
5, 1730 aboard the Alexander and Ann arrived with 45 other Palatine families.
He first settled in Horsham, Pa, living there as a "yoeman" He
owned a tavern in Northern Liberties when he died. His first wife Regina
died between 1745-1750 with whom he had at least three children. He married
second Christina Buda on August 26, 1750 in Germantown, Pa. Christina according
to a letter by William H. Eddleman said she bore no children by him. The
Reverand Muhlenberg visited Peter during his last days when he was sick
before he died.William eddleman did quite a bit of research in Germany
before he died but was never able to tie down the birth place of my Peter.
A Different unknown Peter Edelmann of Ober-Sensbach
[William H Eddleman ] did locate records for another Peter Edelman
in the marriage register of Ober-Sensbach, year 1717 page 145 " 1715,
January 7, in the house of....? there was married by the priest after the
usual public notice Hans Peter Edelmann, son of the late Hans Nicolaus
Edelmann, inhabitant of Huettelthal with maid Eva Catherinea....?, legitimate
daughter of the late Adam Schaeffler, inhabitant and miller of Ober-Sensbach.
In documents there are mentioned the children of the above mentioned married
couple: 1716, July 17, Tuesday night about 8 o'clock there was born to
Hans Peter Edelmann, here by Eva Catharina, his wife, a little boy, who
was baptised on the following day. 1717, Febr, 25, in the morning around
4 o'clock there was born a Rose Baerbel 1722, July 24, in the evening at
7 o'clock there was born a Hans Pete According to these documents according
to a German researcher Dr. H.F. Weber from Darmstadt for William Eddleman
"the family Hans Peter Edelmann must have lived without any doubt
in Ober Sensbach. The head of the family should be identical with the Peter
we are looking for. According to the marriage register from 1715, this
Peter Edelmann will probably have come from Huettenthal and married into
Ober-Sensbach. There are no more documents found, especially about the
emigration of the family of Peter Edelmann from Ober-Sensbach to America"
This resaercher [WHE] found mention of other Eddlemans 1. in Finkenbach
near Rothenberg a certain Velten Edelman (1557) 2. In Schneppenhausen near
Darmstadt: Adam, Peter and Wendel Edelman (1622) Michael Edelman (1588
and 1640) 3. In Graefenhausen near Darmstadt-Anna Maria Edelman daughter
of Velten Edelman (1640) In 1958 Dr. Weber suggested that they look for
my Peter Edelamn [of Philadelphia] arounf Beerfelden. As I may have mentioned,
I have a good bit of German research information but much is disjointed,

Msg#: 338684 To: Indbio Re: David Eddleman Dear Harold, Do you have information
that
Gorg Heinrich Edelman was Christened 3/24/1761 the father
of David and Catherine Edelman. The Sponsers were Gorg Heinrich
Conrad and Elisabeth. My notes indicate that the source of this information
ws from Lancaster county, "Source 11387(Lischy records) " I don't
know what this means. If you are not aware there is excellent reference
material on German Research at www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3816/how/2.html
which has a good article on sponsorship. I hope this is the right address.
If not let me know and I will try to confirm it. Sincerely, Joe Eddleman
