Surnames: WEAVER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ethnic.natam.nations.choctaw.choctawnat/2837.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The following is from Jackie Matte's book on the MOWA Choctaw of Alabama, "They Say The Wind is Red", pg. 23: "According to family stories, as documented by government and church records, Cecile Weatherford first married Saustiene Chastang who was born at Twenty-seven-mile Bluff, the first site of Mobile on the Mobile River. They had two children, Jerome and James, who were born at Fort Stoddart, located on the northeast side of present-day Mt. Vernon. Cecile then married Dave Weaver and has at least ten more children, some of whom were born at Cold Creek and others near Mt. Vernon: Thomas, Lorinda, Ellen "Tiny" Bretina, David Crockett, Emma, Eliza Jane, Mathilda, Albert, Alfred and George W. Perhaps, Nancy Fisher, mother of Cecile, eventually married Philip Chastang because in 1847, Philip left his land to his wife, Nancy, and after her death, to her granddaughter, Fotenay Weaver. One of the witnesses to this will was William Byrd, son of Anna Weaver and Lemual Byrd, refugee Cherokee/Creek from Georgia. pg 24:" Lemuel Byrd, his wife, Anna Weaver, and her brothers, Dave and Jim Weaver, joined this community of refrugee Chocdtaw sometime between 1820-1830. Their mother, Linney Weaver, and their sister Edy, who married Joel Rivers, a Methodist minister from Virginia, stayed with him at Claiborne in Monroe County. This family came to Alabama as part of the exodus of Creek and Cherokee who fled Georgia during the Florida (Seminole) Wars." There are several more references to Dave Weaver in this book.
