These papers shed light on the Weidman family and other families in Lebanon and Dauphin counties, including Hoke, Lineaweaver, and Mitchell. The papers include items on land transactions in Lancaster, Dauphin, and Lebanon counties, papers from the law offices of Jacob Barge Weidman and his son John Weidman, and a few items on Grant, Mason, and Morris Weidman.
Materials include surveys and warrants for surveys, receipts, copies of land office records, indentures and bonds, notes for cases handled by the Weidmans (including that of the German Lutheran Congregation of Lebanon versus Jonathan Ruthrauff, 1844), miscellaneous genealogical materials assembled by the later Weidmans, and correspondence. There is also a small group consisting of Grant Weidman's school papers, 1849-1850. A third section includes all undated material, divided into legal papers; accounts; speeches, essays, and poems; and genealogical materials.
Also included in the collection is a memorandum of the title of the real estate, 1781-1830, which provides information about property owned by John Weidman. The volume contains briefs of ittle and surveys for land owned in Philadelphia, Dauphin, Lebanon, and Lancaster counties. |
