Jacob ALTERMAN born circa 1772, came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Jan. 10,
1789 on the ship 'Patsey Rutledge' from Hamburg, Germany.

PA Early Census Index
Jacob and wife Rosanna were married in Rowan Co NC on 22 August
of 1796. Jacob died May 23, 1824 in Grayson County, Virginia. He owned 427 acres on Burks Fork when he died. One or two acres of the farm land is reserved by John Owen
Alderman.
Jacob and Rosanna lived in the Moravian settlement of Bethabara
in North Carolina before moving to Grayson Co, Virginia. Jacob was apprenticed
in the art of blacksmithing while in NC. Also they lost a child, five days old in 1797. He is buried in lot no. 47 in Dobbs Parish graveyard, made for the non-Moravian settlers. This cemetary
which was built in 1759 and is located south of Bethabara Mill was commonly referred to as the "strangers graveyard".
Also aboard the ship "Patsey Rutledge" was a Henry Alterman who settled in Philadelphia
as well. The ALTERMAN spelling remained in this family into the 1900's. Variations are Alderman and Olterman.
"The Germans who came to Rowan from Pennsylvania and settled along Second Creek were members of the Reformed and Lutheran
churches. Being too few in numbers to erect houses of worship for each of the two denominations, they united in building a
temporary structure on the lands of a Mr. Fullenwider. This church was called the Hickory Church and stood on the site now
occupied by St. Peter's Lutheran Church."
Jacob ALTERMAN married Rosanna FADENLAND? I truly
do not think this was her maiden name. Something closer to Ferncler was transcribed as her maiden name on the record of death
of their son who died in 1797 in Bethabara. Fercler/Farnsler/Fansler was a known family name from Germany, originally spelled
Förnßler. These German immigrants were in early PA, Shenandoah VA and NC. I estimate that she was born about 1776
