Abt 1791 - Sarah Zeisloft Was Born
She is thought to be the daughter of Heinrich & Hanna Zeisloft, but no source is given
Daniel & Anna Margaret (Labar) Weidman were the parents of John Weidman, the subject here, who married Sarah Zeisloft. They also had a daughter, Martha Magdalena Weidman - sister to our John. Magdalena Weidman married Jacob Zeisloft, thought to be the brother of Sarah Zeisloft who married our John Weidman. If this is all accurate, and Sarah is the daughter of Heinrich and Hanna, this is another DAR eligible line - Heinrich served in the Revolutionary War. "Some suspect that the above Jacob (bn. ca. 1791) who moved to Columbia Co. was the son of Mathias Zeisloft.This Jacob married Magdalene Weidman (Oct. 23, 1794 in UMB-1886) daughter of Daniel & Anna Margaret Weidman."

===============================================================
Children of John & Sarah Hannah Zeisloft:
Both Jesse or "Jepe" & Lewis are listed in John's will, but I can find no baptismal record for them. Lewis is specified as "My son", but Jepe is not.
"My son Lewis Wideman shall have his full share and one Sorrel mare and Bay yearling colt, three yearling colt, or Bay Stud Horse and the said Lewis shall be deducted out of his share for said Horses, fifteen dollars and receive no money from me as Guardian, Jepe (Jesse) Wideman shall have his full share and the yearling Sorrel Colt for money received as guardian for him,"
Both J.H. Battle's "History of Columbia & Montour Co., PA," Chicago: A. Warner & Co., 1915, p. 184 and J.H. Battle's "Columbia & Montour Co., PA," Chicago: J.H. Beers Co., 1915, Vol. III, p. 935 state that Catherine (Weidman) Hagerman's parents were John & Hannah Weidman of Northampton Co. who died 1840 and 1870 respectively.
