Halteman: For Carol Stevens. Under Marriages, p. 57; under the year 1740:
"May 13. Jacob Halteman and Maria Catar. Boin, Moden Creek."
Not clear to me if Moden Creek is a PA locale or a VA locale; most of the entries in the book are PA locales. [Note: "Moden Creek" as listed by Rev. John Casper Stoever is actually "Muddy Creek" in Lancaster County, PA]

Before 1758 Jacob with his family together with his father's family migrated with a colony of Mennonites to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to a place called Hawksbill Settlement (Brock's Gap) in Rockingham Co., Va.
Several conflicting versions of the August 1758 Indian massacre at the Hawksbill Settlement one of which (Samuel Kerchevel's) states "The same Indians killed Jacob Holtiman's (Halterman) wife and her children, Holtiman (Halterman) escaping. One account tells us that the family while at breakfast was attacked by the Indians, the wife Maria and the two daughters were tomahawked, the baby girl was picked up by the heels and its head dashed against the log wall. The Indians were amused at the futile defense put up by the three small boys so they were carried off into captivity.
The settlement of Jacob's father's will in Lancaster Co., Pa. in 1764 stated that Jacob's share was distributed to his representitive confirming to us that Jacob had passed away. Jacob's share of this will finally reverted to Michael Kauffman, his brother-in-law to whom Jacob owed a debt.
Jacob and Maria were Mennonites as were their parents.
