Well, Cary, you missed Suzanne Matson's great presentation on the First Colony Families (including the Hoffmans) who settled in present-day Madison County and who married into Second Colony families, at the Germanna Research Group's Inaugural Conference on Oct. 1 in Madison County! But we did hire a videographer and soon you will be able to order a DVD of the conference. Hey, I'm a Weaver! You're right, it's hard for any descendant of the Madison County families to not have Weaver blood.

Virginia, Long ago, I put together from various sources the marriages of the grandchildren of both men and there was quite a bit of such. By the time of the great-grandchildren one couldn't tell if it was a Weber or a Hoffmann. [I tend to exaggerate, but as I age and add more new lines, I just didn't have time to finish that project.] Really lost interest as the focus didn't seem to include those families over of the other side of the highway. A number of late comers. I even see the Hebron group is now longer listed in the list of Germanna 2 colony settlers. There went my Walk connection to Germanna! That was how I became interested in the first place. I did so enjoy the visits to Flinsbach where Walks still live today. Had two opportunities and it was great. See a cow barn with milk cows in the middle of the village even today is striking. Cary

Do any of you know if the Weaver family migrated to Guilford Co., NC. My half siblings mother is a Weaver. They were a fairly big family in the mill village here. I have tried to find something on these Weavers but don't seem to get far.
