I am searching for a connection to George Washington through my Weaver line. I have always been told that George Washington's brother was a direct ancestor though I have been unable to find any proof of that. My great grandfather was Dudley Saunders Weaver born about 1875 in either MS or TN. He lived in Memphis all his adult life and was married to Anna Johnston of Memphis. Supposedly his parents came to MS or TN to farm from Virginia. I would love to hear with from anyone with any information. Thank you.

Anyone have any information on ADAM WEAVER (1764-1825) who married Rutha Terril (1779-1855)? We think they were married in Delta, PA but have no date. They had at least two sons, SOLOMON (1820-1891), who married Elizabeth Dutton (whose Indian name was Running Deer), and JOSHUA. SOLOMON had a son, CONARD (1851-1927), who was born in Pickens Co., SC and eventually lived in Georgia. (Conard is my great-grandfather.) Would like any information on ADAM, SOLOMON, and/or JOSHUA WEAVER. Margaret Lynn Weaver Owens Blount Co., TN

My gfather Joseph Weaver, b. 22 Sept 1868, Noble Co. IN married Jennie Green, b 25 Sept 1870 in or around Noble Co. Joseph was the son of Joseph WEAVER and Lucinda BRADFORD WEAVER. Joseph WEAVER and Lucinda were the proud parents of 10 children, of whom I have: Louisa Alice Albert Joseph Frank Grace Lucinda was also a direct descendent of Gov. Bradford of Plymouth Colonies. My biggest problem is finding the background of my gmother Jennie. Her death certificate shows no parents and only that she was born in Ohio. I have a photo taken in 1899 in So. Whitley, IN of Jennie and her sister Rosella. Could there be ANY connection to tear down this brick wall? Thanks for any info. Harold Williams Mesquite, TX (Dallas suburb) willhn@flash.net

I am envious also of you Mohawk Valley descendants. The Weaver's are numerous in Union, Anderson and probably were in Knox prior to Anderson Co being formed. Some of these Weaver's were born in the 1700's, in VA & NC. I think they are the same Weaver's. Some went first to NC and some came direct to TN or what would become TN. They have the same names, Lydia, Jacob, John, James Elisha, Elijah, Nancy, the names are identical? Does anyone know of the Weaver's who came to NC and TN.?? Although some came from VA to TN. Ann in Florida but native of Tenn. elderbrooks@msn.com

Greetings, Weavers! I am so envious of you Mohawk Valley descendants; just think of reaching cousins. I would like to find a cousin who could give me some information on John Weaver who was living in Jefferson Township of Scioto County, Ohio, in 1820. I think he was the father of Lydia Weaver who married my gr-gr-gr-grandfather, William Nice/Niece in that county in 1812 after he served a term in the War of 1812. In the Marriages of Scioto County a John Weaver is listed as the father of several brides who were under age. Since Lydia was of age, she didn't have to have consent, and no one was listed with the couple. Later censuses say that Lydia was born in Virginia. Any takers? Shirley in Missouri

I am in possession of a great study of the Palatine Weber/Weaver familes entitled "Weaver Families of the Mohawk and St. Lawrence River Valleys" by Aline F. Weaver) Nicolls, Victoria,BC 1987. Her extensive research lists what is known of the original immigrants, Jacob & Nicholas (brothers), Valentin Weaver, Johannes Weaver and Wigand Weber and their descendants. In addition, there is a sixteen page index of descendants and related families. I would be happy to do a lookup for any of the list members. For those who would like to purchase the book, I will respond to your e-mail and provide you with her address. Snail mail only, no e-mail address. My cousin Bob and I went to Vancouver Island in August, had lunch with her and had a great visit. She is our sixth cousin. L.K.Weber, CDR, USN (Ret.)

I am seeking information on the ancestry of one CHARLES S. WEAVER (b. abt. 1830) who married RACHAEL WHITWORTH (b. abt. 1830) on March 2, 1848 in Scott Co., IL. Charles and Rachael had one son REUBEN SAMUEL WEAVER (b. Oct. 27, 1848). Charles and Rachael were living with the SAMUEL WHITWORTH family (Rachael's parents) in Scott Co., IL in 1850. Rachael apparently died in the early 1850's and Charles remarried one MINERVA JANE HARRIS on Oct. 5, 1854. Any information would be appreciated.

Douglas - Thank you for this information... They do make up some of my tree... I am a decendant of Othanial Weaver. My grandfather WC Weaver whom married Lillie Mae Green date unknown (both birthday's and marriage). Leanne Davis (the Sponsor of Weaver-L), is my half sister. My father RC Weaver is her father. WC is my Grandfather. I have no information on my father's parents (WC and Lille). Nor their parents and siblings either. I found some information from a website on Othanial Weaver, but that just had dates of birth, marriages, deaths, and decendants. I am in search of any information on the parent's of WC's parents and siblings. I am going to be filling in some of my new information on my tree. Can anyone help? I read someplace that the Weaver's came from Germany can anyone confirm that? My mother, Patricia Ammann, April 30, 1939 - November 23, 1997. My mother's mother, Gerda Herl married Frank Ammann. Mom's side of the family is from Germany and Czecklosovakia. Can anyone give me some advice as to how to seek family from Europe? Thanks....

Yes, the M.B. Penrose book on early Mohawk families is available from the Genealogical Publishing Co. Its a 2 volume set for $55.00. Here is a link that will take you there. It is item number 4558 and has a description of the content. Its sources are extremely well documented. Its a must if you have Palatine ancestors from the early Mohawk valley area. http://www.genealogical.com/newyork.htm I have not seen the "Weaver Families of the Upper St. lawrence & Mowhawk River Valleys" book by Nicholls. I would also be interested in hearing from those that have read it. Is there still some place I can purchase it? Do any of my Mohawk Valley Weavers link up to your tree? Generation No. 1 1.

Howdy! I've a question, here, for Douglas Weaver ... but am asking here, as I'm sure others on this list will be interested. Doug, you mentioned, earlier this evening. a book, entitled "Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families - Vol.2". Could you tell me more about this book? Is it still available anywhere? I have read - and have just ordered - "Weaver Families of the Upper St. Lawrence & Mohawk River Valleys", by Aline (Weaver) Nicholls. If anyone has read BOTH ... a "comparison report" would sure be helpful! Thanks, Doug ... and anyone else with info' to share! Al Henderson alanita@mail.perf.bc.ca

Can't answer your specific question but perhaps this information from the "Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families" Volume #2 by Maryly B. Penrose will help ... Weaver, Nicholas, b. 10/8/1765; m. Elizabeth Zullnerin, 6/13/1791; d. 11/15/1824. (Elizabeth Weaver, b. 1764; resident of Fulton Co., NY. on 1/18/1841.)

[Gertraut and Margretha Weaver were the only two children not living in 1844] Nicholas performed his military duty as a private in the Tryon Co. Militia during the war.

Karon Mazie wrote: WEAVER, John L., listed on the 1880 Fed. Census as born in Ireland, was listed on marriage records as being born in New York. John L. WEAVER was the son of William Weaver and Alpha Houghton. His age was not listed. He married Lucratia Cramer of Maple Creek, Nebraska, age 17, on August 12, 1870. The 1880 census lists four children, Lealand, m, 9; Alpha F., f, 5; Ruie E., f, 3; and Lottie, f, 1. In 1894 they apparently lived in South Dakota, as a newspaper article on her fathers death said she would be returning to Hill City SD. I found a reference to a John L. Weaver in SD, Vol 4 Issue 3 Page 111 of the South Dakota Quarterly and it shows a John L Weaver on the 1890 Civil War Veteran's Census from Custer County, SD. Data showed that he served from New York and at the time of the census, he has a residence in Hermosa, S D. This is possibly the same John L Weaver. I would like any information anyone out there might have on this family. The 1900 Census of Pennington County, SD Rockford Precinct lists Lucratia as Head of the house, and Lottie is 21, Myrtis (it appears to be) 19 and a son born in 1895, his name is difficult to read, it could be Bernie. John Weaver, a son is boarding with his uncle Orestes Charles Cramer, 17 years old, and they lived in Pennington County SD, Mountain City Precinct. I would appreciate any information you have on this family. Lucretia (Lucratia) Cramer WEAVER was my great aunt. Thank you much! Karon Mazie Okanogan, Washington karonm@televar.com

I'll try again and see if anyone knows about my grgrgr grandmother, Mary Ann Weaver. I've tried three times and can't seem to get any responce. Once I didn't even get honorable mention on the list. Mary Weaver was born in Baltimore, Maryland on Jan. 30, 1797. She married Philip Antony Caro on May 15, 1839. She had a brother who was an engineer aboard Admiral Faragut's flag ship. The met when the Admiral came into Mobile Bay. Mary's relatives lived in Philadelphia for her son and my gr gr grandfather, Philip Taylor Caro died in Philadelphis while visiting his mother's family. He died in April of 1877. Mary died October 5, 1885. If anyone can shed some light on the subject it would be greatly appreciated.

My gr gr grandparents, Mary Elisabeth STINER and Henry WEAVER, were married on 29 May 1853 in Stark Co., Ohio, and believed to be born in PA. The minister performing the ceremony was named George WEAVER, and the initials "VDM" followed his name. Does anybody know what those letters mean? My ancestors were Church of the Brethren. Also, I don't know if the minister was related, but sure would like to know anything about him that might give me a clue. I'm HOPING to find out that he is Henry's father. Thanks, Judy

I recently found an article in the publication "Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage", April 1989 edition, by Jerold A. Stahly, entitled "The Family of Jacob Oberholtzer (1704-1755) of Brecknock Township, Lancaster Co., PA". I have posted this under OBERHOLTZER on the GEN FORUM, but since I know a lot of WEAVER researchers are also looking for OBERHOLTZER information, I wanted to post it here too. This article says that Jacob Oberholtzer was born ca. 1704 in Dirnheim, Germany. He died 1755 in Lancaster Co. PA. JACOB'S first wife ______?, died in Germany before Jacob travelled to Pennsylvania in 1732. With him were his first two children: Elisabeth, b. August 27, 1724; m. BAUMAN Samuel, b. ca. 1729; m. HAUSWIRTH. JACOB married his second wife, Barbara ca. 1736 in PA. Their children: Johannes, b. Abt. 1739; m. BRAND Christian, b. August 10, 1740; m. MUSSELMAN Anna, b. Abt. 1743; m. GOOD Barbara, b. January 14, 1745/46; m. HEUCHER Maria, b. June 25, 1750; m. MARTIN Jacob, b. Abt. 1751; m. LEHMAN Magdalena, b. Abt. 1753; m. Jacob WEAVER, b. June 8, 1748, d. Nov. 1820 Veronica, b. Abt. 1755; m. GUTH The article included other information and also each of the above couples' children. I will be happy to share the information with others as requested. I am interested in finding out more about Jacob, b. 1704, as well as his daughter Magdalena Oberholtzer WEAVER who is my gggggg grandmother. I hope this is helpful to others researching this family.
