I am interested in the family of Bernard Weaver, who was censused in Franklin Village in 1850. His name also appears much earlier (1836) as a witness in the probate proceeding of my 3rd great-grandfather, Abraham Deem. Bernard had a son, Joseph, who may have been the first husband of a multi-great aunt. Family lore has it that Joseph Weaver owned or was in some way involved in a general store business. Would you have any information about the prioprietors of the stores in Franklin? Thanks again, Susan
