Dear Ware List Members, In response to a query I made through this list I was referred to a resource entitled "Weir/Wear From Here & There to the White House" by Olga Jones Edwards and JoAnn Wear Spore. While many of you are probably quite familiar with this work, I thought I'd go ahead and give it plug for newcomers like myself. So often our reference materials are out- of-print and the authors no longer within reach. I'm happy to say that just received a copy from JoAnn, herself, and am delighted to find a great deal of information about my late husband's Weir/Wears. The book is a spiral bound compilation consisting of 244 + pages of information and updates on the descendants of Hugh Weir, Sr. b.?- d 1779 in Rockbridge Co. VA. His descendents are shown settling in TN, MO, AL, and MS among other places. It includes will text for some folks, specific references to historical documents and census data, and a great deal of information passed on by family members. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, JoAnn can be reached at [email protected] I will be happy to check my copy to see if your family members might be included. If you are related to this line of Weirs/Wears, I would say it is a must for your library. Thanks again to L. Wilson who first made me aware of this book and JoAnn.
