Had a busy day today. Drove up to Washigton CH, Ohio where Eddie Halterman and his wife Barbara live and spent over 4 hours going over all the ancestors and stories. Daniel L. Halterman , (who was my Great(X4) Grandfather), moved from Pa. to Pike County Ohio in the early 1800's and of all the kids he had one son was Levi and one was Jacob. Levi was my great(X3) grandfather and Jacob was Eddie's.

They live between Washington CH and Jefferson which is a town of 1200 people and Eddie started getting things organized to build a memorial to the veterans. He was able to get it done and it cost about $150,000 but when he started he told them it would be alot less otherwise it never would have gotten started.

The other picture above is a lane leading up to where some of the early Haltermans had a place. I didn't go up because there was a cable accross the lane.

Need to get to bed to get up early to head for Pa. Just south of Harrisburg in a state park. I will leave this for a home base and go into Lancaster and make a trip to East Strausburg. I hope to have enough time to see Gettysburg so not sure how long I will be there. Eddie said he did hear that there was a Halterman Church somewhere around there also.

This is also the area that Major John Cessnie lived after the revolution in the late 1700's. There is a memorial on him that I have the location on.
