Lehman - Hans Lehman arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Charming Nancy in 1737. His tenth child, Abraham, married Anna Burkholder, and at least four of their family came to Upper Canada - Elizabeth Lehman, married to George Braunsberger, Veronica Lehman, married to Abraham Ramer, and Abraham and John Lehman, the latter two who came to Markham in 1807, from Lancaster Co., Pa., with their families. They probably came from the same district as the Ramers, Mount Joy.
John Lehman, 1773-1833, married Hannah Sullivan, b. 1774 in W. Virginia and d. 1848. As far as is known the family was: Abraham Lehman, 1797 1829, married Catherine, 1801-61, and lived on lot 28, conc. 8 (1851) with son John, b. 1828, and his sons Matthew, Isaac and Luke; Jacob Lehman, 1803-80, married Anna Wideman; Anna Lehman, 1805-46, married Andrew Wideman, 1805-68; Elizabeth Lehman, 1810-42, married Henry Wideman, 1810-71.
Abraham Lehman, 1785-1859, married Susannah Grove Ramer, 1789-1866, daughter of Abraham Ramer, 1760-1846, and in 1815 bought lot 29W1/2, conc. 7. Their family was: Anna Lehman, 1808-61, ), married to Christian Hoover, 1798-1885; Jacob Lehman, married to Anna Machlen (Macklem?),
1812-71; John Ramer Lehman, 1818-61, married Maria Steckley, 1824-1911, and lived on lot 33, conc. 6, (1851); Peter Lehman, b. 1828, married Christine Heise, lived on lot 23W1/2, conc. 8, (1851); Abraham Lehman, 1824-1900, married Veronica (Fanny) Barkey, 1827-1905, on lot 29, conc. 7, (1851); Susannah Lehman, 1825-1899, married Henry Wideman, Samuel Lehman, 1829-1885; Daniel Ramer Lehman, b. 1830, married Catherine Kendrick.
Another Abraham Lehman came in 1825 and died in 1827. He is buried with his wife, Mary Stewig, in the Wideman Cemetery. Tradition has it that son
Daniel came first, trading his horse for land, and may
have done this more than once. Daniel Lehman, 1805-67, married Susannah Byer, 1818-83; their son, Samuel Byer Lehman, after 1880 operated the Almira
Flour and Woollen Mills. Samuel Lehman, 1807-36, married Mary Ann Cook, 1812-75, who later married Jacob Wideman, 1814-82. John Lehman, married Anna Wideman.
Yet another Abraham Lehman, b. 1810 in Pennsylvania, and living on lot 33, conc. 7 (1851), seems to have come to Markham in the 1840s, as his son Peter was born in 1845 in Pennsylvania, but son
Jacob was born in 1849 in Canada. This Abraham and
his son Henry were coopers.
Nigh (Neu) - Two brothers born in the United States, John Neu, 1780-1853, and Frederick, 1782- 1873, were on lot 33, conc. 5, and lot 30, conc. 3, 1850, and listed as Lutheran and Mennonite respectively. They had come to Markham circa 1812, and
leased land from the Crown.
John's family born in Canada: Sarah (PalmerJonathan, b. 1813, William, b. 1816, married Mar- garet Gower; Margaret (Anderson), Christina (Spof- 49
