Carol: Don't forget that census takers spelled surnames their own way. There are no Weirs or Werrs in AR in the 1850 census index BUT there are: WEER, John Lawrence Co. AR Page 110 Spring River Twp 1840 census I have the name of a researcher that can tell you about a Weir-Bennett marriage in 1839 in Lawrence/Randolph Co. Let me know if you would like her address. Hope this helps, Nan
