Sherry: The following passage is from Wier/Wear From Here & There To the White House by Olga Jones and Joann Wear Spore. Delilah, daughter of George Wear, born about 1827, married 4 Feb. 1847, Johnson Co. MO Erasmus Darwin Wallace. He was the son of John and Elizabeth (Walker) Wallace. The children of Delilah and Erasmus were: Rose Ann who married Robert S. Grill. Finis R. who married (1st) Nellie Elliot and (2nd) Minnie House. Both Children were born in Johnson Co MO and are on the 1850 Johnson Co. Census with their parents and living with their grandparents George and Sarah Wear. The other children of Delilah and Erasmus were: Dora; Mollie who married D. Mahoney; Lou J. who married Douglas Lain; William T. who married Mary Goulden; Octavia who married Jno. P. Graves; and George W. who married Flora McMillan. As stated before, George Weir/Wear is shown living next door to his father John on the 1799 and 1801 Washington Co. TN Tax lists. Then, in 1820 we find him on the Limestone Co AL Census with 4 males 0/21 and 1 over 21 - the females were 6 0/21 and 1 over 21. In 1840 we find him in Johnson Co MO with 1 male 0/5, 2 5/10, 1 15/20, 1 20/30 and himself age 50/60 - the females are 1 10/15, 2 15/20, 1 20/30 and Sarah age 50/60. these two census records would indicate that George and Sarah may have possibly had other children we have not identified or it culd be grandchildren. The foregoing was at the end of a 4 page outline of George Wear and his children. The children were : Margaret, John, Sara Angeline, Mary Eliza Barnett, Nancy A.B., Lucinda, Archibald Smiley, William D. Robert Bell and Delilah. There is a short blurb about each of them in the book. George Weir/Wear born 2 Feb, 1777 died 5 Dec 1865 as shown on his tombstone. He is buried in Greeville "Old Carrollville," a small place out of Booneville, MS in the Lebanon graveyard. If you will provide your mailing address, I will send you a copy of these pages. However, I am leaving town on a business trip, and will not be able to get copies in the mail until Monday, Aug. 24. The book also mentions that George Wear applied for land Patents in Johnson Co MO. Missouri is one of about a dozen states where Bureau of Land Management documents can be found on the Internet. You can look them up, view copies of the actual documents, down load them and print them out from the following web page http://www.glorecords.blm.gov Hint: Just put in his name and do the genealogy search. You may have to try both Weir and Wear in order to find him. Hope this helps. Larry in Texas I am also a Weir/Wear descendant, but not for certain if there are any ties to George.
