Kathhy Hoeldke's list of Webers from Switzerland is most interesting. It is my understanding that the name is as common in Germany as Smith here and that there are thousands of them from all over Germany, Holland and Switzerland. I do believe her JACOB6 may have been the Jacob I to whom Aline Nicolls refers in her book, "Weaver Families of the Mohawk and St. Lawrence River Valleys." Written and published by Mrs. E.F. Nicolls of Victoria, BC, B.A., M.Ed, this excellent work is a product of nine years of intensive research into the Palatine migration and the history of our family. It is a valuable addition to the library of anyone researching Weaver/Weber families, or those others mentioned below. I have found it invaluable in my research in learning of Nicolaus, my original immigrant ancestor.. Many of the Weavers/Webers were Patriots in the Revolution, remaining in the Mohawk Valley, but a number were Loyalists (Tories) who formed the nucleus of the large Weaver families of Ontario, Michigan, North Dakota and the western states and Canada. The heritage of many families is set forth in this valuable work, in descending order of appearance: Weaver/Weber/Webber, Bellinger, Johnston, Hanes, Smith, McCurdy, Edick/Ittig, Frank, Pearce, Rodgers, Meyer(s), Harter, Dachsteder/Docksteader, Alguire, Bowman/Bauman, Mills, Snyder, Archer, Marselius and others. The book tracks the Weavers in their travels from the Tar Camps in the 1710's through Schoharie, Schenectady and German Flatts to their homesteads in Burnetsfield, Herkimer, Deerfield, Utica and other towns in the Mohawk Valley. The post-Revolutionary trail follows both Patriot and Tory families into the western States and Canadian provinces. In her subsequent eleven years of research, Aline has found many other Weber lines, notably those of Jacob I who moved to Pennsylvania. If you will write to her (snail mail only) she will respond. The book is offered at the price of $20.00 US plus $2.00 postage and handling. You may send your check or money order with this page to: Mrs. Aline F.
