What a sad ending to a long and undoubtedly industrious life. If my records are correct, this John Weakland was the son of James Weakland and Ruth Farrell - but that's the extent of my information on this Weakland branch. Whom did he marry? How many children? And who was that son last heard of in Texas? (Probably up to no good with his cousin James who, deserting wife and children, was last heard of in California.) Can anyone help me out?
