???? Important Clarification (Why This Matters)
There are multiple Daniel Lehmans in early?19th?century Pennsylvania:

Daniel Lehman Born Died Parents Line
Daniel Lehman 1801 1885 Jacob Longenecker Lehman & Rosanna Shank Longenecker–Shank Mennonite
Daniel Huber Leh. 1808 1886 Peter Lehman & Esther Good Huber Lancaster–Franklin Mennonite
They are not the same person, though they lived in overlapping regions and communities.

???? Ancestral Context
The Longenecker–Lehman family traces back to Swiss Mennonite immigrants of the early 1700s
This line is separate from:
The Amish Lehman line descending from Benedict Lehman (Charming Nancy, 1737)
The Huber?connected Lehman line of Franklin County
