There is now a mailing list for descendants of Robert Weakley (or anyone interested). WEAKLEY-ROBERT mail list: The purpose of this list is to promote exchange of information among descendants of Robert Weakley, a pioneer settler in Southern Virginia. He had three sons and one daughter, as follows: William, designated by the letter A, being the eldest, who it is believed never married; Robert, designated B, b. about 1720, m. Elinor Stewart; James, designated C, b. about 1728, m. Hannah Coffee; and Jean, designated D, b. about 1730, m. John Stewart. The authoritative source for the earliest information about these families is "The Southern Virginia Weakley Families and Their Descendants", the 500 page, handwritten book by Samuel Anderson Weakley, Nashville, Tennessee, 1963. Descendants of Robert Weakley are scattered all over Middle Tennessee, with a heavy concentration in Davidson, Cheatham, Dickson, Montgomery and Robertson counties, plus in about every other state in the USA. Members and friends of these families are invited and encouraged to participate in these discussions. One of our aims is to enlarge our family acquaintance and, perhaps in due time, to meet together in a family reunion.
