SULLIVAN COUNTY NEWS Thursday May 13, 1999 WEAVER linage dates to before Revolution I stated earlier that John Weaver was quite a colorful man; while John was still married to Ann "Beeler", Weaver was accused of having an affair, with a Sally A. Jones for about ten years. Weaver sued John Weaver for divorce and won the case. Shortly after divorce, John Weaver married Sally A. Jones and before John Weaver died, he wrote a deed and gave his home and property to Sally A. Weaver. After the death of Lucinda "Feathers" Barker, William H .Barker married Sally A.
