I've never heard of Shirley Ashton, Loretta, and her name is not among the contributors to "Big "Blue." The Weaver family is not covered in "Genealogies of MCAR Families 1811-1900," but here's some info that may be helpful. These may not all be kin, but they're all the Weavers I've found in the sources I have here at the house. MCAR 1850 census - White River Township: John Weaver 60 GA. Nancy 45 TN.

Because of some of the townships these Weavers lived in, I'd guess some of them were removed to Baxter Co when it was formed in part from Marion Co in 1873. There are two web pages for Baxter Co. http://www.mtncom.com/noarweb/baxgen and http://bsd.pastracks.com/states/arkansas/baxter And because the John Weaver family apparently lived in Ozark Co MO before moving to AR, and because some of the other Weavers were from or were born in Ozark Co MO, you might want to check there too. You can access the Ozark Co MO web page from http://www.usgenweb.com. Start with "State Pages" and just 'follow the yellow brick road.' Good luck in your search.
