Individual Details
Daniel HERMAN
( - )
Harman/Harmon is the same surname as Herman and its various spellings.
There were many Hermans in Upper Paxton Township and the adjacent townships of Lykens and Mifflin Township in the late 1700 and early 1800's. An examination of the Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church records in Killinger, Upper Paxton Township, in Dauphin County and St. John's Lutheran Church near Berrysburg, Mifflin Township, in Dauphin County reveals many Herman baptisms and a couple confirmations. An examination of the estate records shows only one estate record for a John Herman whose wife Ann was named administrator of his estate since he died intestate before 1787. It also names three children under fourteen years of age: Elisabeth, John, and Daniel. All these children would have been born after 1773. Deed indexes were examined for Herman with the first name of Daniel, John, and Jacob. The pertinent deeds were then downloaded for furthers study.. It appears from the examination of the above records that their were three Herman men in Upper Paxtang Township in the 1770's and 1780's with children: John, Jacob, and David. Both John and David had a son named Daniel so it is not possible to determine which may have been the father of John Harman from the extant records.
