There is always a possiblity. Peter W. Weaver, born April 6, 1812, Habersham County, Georgia and died December 25, 1877 in Winston County, Alabama is one of my brick walls. He did have two daughters born in Tennessee (I don't know what part) after 1870 (Sarah Jane born c. 1871 and Rosetta born c. 1873.) He was in Winston County by 1858 or 1859 and supported the Union during the Civil War. In the Winston County, Alabama, 1867 Voting Registration and Loyalty Oaths, he listed Habersham County, Georgia as his place of birth. The 1870 Winston County census lists South Carolina as his birthplace. I haven't located him in either the 1850 or 1860 census. Family stories state that he went to California during the 1849 gold rush and returned in 1850 or 1851 because his wife and father had died and he needed to care for his children who were staying with family members. One son was named Henry, who stated on the 1867 Voting Registration and Loyalty Oaths that he was born in Lumpkin County, Georgia on November 26, 1842. Peter's daughter was possibly named Martha (some say Nancy.) He married a second time to Armindia Martin, possibly in Forsyth County, Georgia, but I don't have a marriage record because of the inevitable courthouse fire that burned the only book in which their marriage would have been listed. Armindia Martin Weaver was born January 29, 1833 and died Octiber 14, 1910. I did find Armindia in the 1850 Forsyth County, Georgia census living with her parents, Peter H. Martin and wife Mary.

Benjamin and Mary were born in Georgia and Nancy was the first child born in Alabama. I did find find a marriage record for a WEAVER, Peter marr. DICKSON, Margaret 09/10/1835 in Habersham County, Georgia (none in Lumpkin or Hall Counties) but I cannot verify that this is my Peter W. Weaver. I descend from Peter and Armindia through their first son, Benjamin Weaver, born December 30, 1852 in Carroll County, Georgia and died August 10, 1915 in Winston County, Alabama. Benjamin married Anna Baughn (no record of marriage found yet) and their daughter Mathilda Jane Weaver Lovett was my great-grandmother. She told me that the Weavers came from South Carolina to Georgia and then to Alabama. She died in 1984. I would love to find out who Peter W. Weaver's parents were. There have been so many Peter Weavers and even Peter W. Weavers. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [LCT] Peter Weaver >I am a Weaver...
