I GOT CURIOUS and checked Jeff's site for Isaac. Below the links is a little from there. <A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/jweaver300/weaver1.htm">The English Weaver's of Virginia Descendants ...</A> http://members.xoom.com/jweaver300/weaver1.htm <A HREF="http://members.tripod.com/~rosters/index.html">EARLY NC - TN - SC- RECORDS - MILITARY- MARRI...</A> http://members.tripod.com/adm/popup/roadmap.shtml Grant * The families of William Weaver, Sr. and Captain Isaac Weaver, Sr. have been well known and documented for years, and dead-ended with Joshua Weaver. All theory about the ancestry came to a dead end. There is no immigration record for a William, Isaac or Joshua Weaver that will fit the circumstances of the Weaver Family in the New River Valley of North Carolina and Virginia. * The Ashe Co., North Carolina genealogist, Wade Eller, a great collector of family data, and a good source of clues, gave the parentage of Isaac and William as one Joshua Weaver. His souces were often unverified from public records, but that was apparently not intentional. * The 1787 State Census of North Carolina lists Isaac, Joshua and William Weaver in Wilkes Co. The age of Isaac Weaver is listed between 21 and 60 and there were 3 white males under 21 or over 60 and 3 white females of all ages. William Weaver is listed with himself between 21 and 60, 3 white males under 21 or over 60 and 2 white females of all ages. Joshua Weaver was listed with 2 males under 21 or 60+ and 2 white females of all ages. I suspect that Joshua was 60+ and living with a servant, boarder or unidentified son. This record indicates one daughter and that Joshua was born in 1727 or before. Joshua is not listed in the 1790 U.S. Census for North Carolina. He signed a deed in October 1789 and probably died between those two dates. * Joshua Weaver and Isaac Weaver were on the 1782 tax list for Wilkes Co., NC. No Family information was included on these tax lists. William and a Thomas Weaver were listed on the 1782 tax list of Surry Co., NC, adjoining Wilkes Co., NC. There were no Weavers on the tax lists for adjoining counties in Virginia in the 1780's. * On March 4, 1778, Joshua Weaver became one of the first men to legally enter land west of the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina in Wilkes Co. * In the families of William and Isaac we find that both had sons named, Isaac Weaver, William Weaver, Joshua Weaver and John Weaver. There has been a strong tradition of carrying down family names in Appalachia. * The name Thomas Weaver does not reappear in succeeding generations of William and Isaac's families, although from other clues it is known that Joshua had numerous relatives named Thomas. Was the Thomas listed in the Surry Co., NC tax list of 1782 another son of Joshua? I suspect that he might have been and that his descendants migrated back into Virginia, specifically Franklin Co. * Isaac Weaver appears on several militia rosters for Montgomery Co., VA in CPT Enoch Osborne's Company. It is known that after the Revolution Isaac was appointed as Captain of a militia company in Wilkes Co., NC. This appointment gave him the common appelation by which his descendants know him, Captain Isaac Weaver, Sr. While serving in CPT Osborne's Company he served as a private soldier and may have participated in campaigns against the Cherokee and/or Tories. One tradition indicates that this militia unit fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, though there is no evidence to indicate that Isaac Weaver was on this mission. Joshua Weaver was found to have received $108 from Revolutionary War Army Pay Accounts. This does not mean he served in any way, but rendered some assistance to the Revolutionary cause for which he was compensated. William Weaver, Sr. is listed on the same pay voucher for receiving 9/2s. No record of actual militia service has been found, nor is one expected to be found, for William Weaver, Sr. or Joshua Weaver. * In 1772 Joshua Weaver and Isaac Weaver appear on a Boutetourt Co. VA Tax List. This area became Fincastle District in 1774 and was renamed Montgomery Co. in 1776. In 1789 Wythe Co. was formed from Montgomery and in 1792 Grayson Co. was formed from Wythe. Grayson adjoins Ashe Co., NC which was formed from Wilkes Co. in 1799. Wilkes Co. was formed from Surry Co. in 1778. * In 1771 Joshua Weaver appears on a tax list for Boutetourt Co., VA. The heading for the district in which he was living lists him as living near "the head of the Holstein River." This area appears to be present-day Smyth Co., VA. Living near Joshua was a Michael Weaver. Who was this Michael? From other research, it appears that Michael was German, unrelated to Joshua, and that he later migrated into Washington Co., VA and possibly into Upper East Tennessee. * In 1770 Joshua and Isaac were on a Botetourt Co. Tax List near Evansham, later Wytheville, VA in the Middle New River Valley. * In 1767 Joshua Weaver, Isaac Weaver and Moses McDaniels appear as neighbors on a Pittsylvania Co., VA tax list. Pittsylvania Co. was formed in 1767 from Halifax Co. In 1814 William Weaver, Sr. signed as an heir of Moses McDaniels. This Moses McDaniels later appears on Boutourt Co. & Montgomery Co. Tax Lists. He also appears on the 1787 NC census as a resident of Wilkes Co., NC as a neighbor of William Weaver, Sr. and Joshua Weaver. Moses also appears on various militia rosters for CPT Enoch Osborne's Company of milita. In some records his name is recorded as Magnuss McDaniel, Magnus McDonel, Moses McDonnel, etc. All efforts to trace his ancestry have revealed nothing. * In 1768, Rachel Weaver, possibily Joshua Weaver's wife, was involved in a law suit in Pittsylvania Co., VA. The results of this suit are unknown at this time, and perhaps for all time. I could not locate the ajudication of the case in the Pittsylvania Co. Court records. * On June 24, 1768, Samuel Patterson bought 400 acres between Colonel Calloway & Joshua Weaver on Chestnut Creek in Pittsylvania Co. This is the last reference I have found in Pittsylvania Co. for our set of Weavers. * On January 3, 1767, Joshua Weaver entered 400 acres on the North Fork of Chestnut Creek and 400 acres at the Mouth of Beating Mill Branch in Halifax Co., VA, soon to become Pittsylvania Co. * On October 21, 1766 Isaac Weaver entered 400 acres on the Lower End of the Long Ridge leading to the Stinking River in Halifax Co., VA. * On April 9, 1765, Joshua Weaver had 60 acres surveyed for himself on Chestnut Creek in Halifax Co., VA. * On July 28, 1764, Joshua Weaver entered 400 acres on Dogger's Branch, Halifax Co., VA. * On February 17, 1763 Joshua Weaver entered 400 acres, near an old survey, on Chestnut Branch, Halifax Co., VA. * 1752 Halifax Co., Virginia was formed from Lunenburg Co., VA. * 1764 James Weaver, John Weaver and Thomas Weaver are found on a tithe list for Cornwall Parish, Halifax Co., VA, (Now Charlotte Co., VA.) * 1750 Joshua Weaver is found on a tithe list for Lunenburg Co., VA. * 1749-52, Thomas Weaver was on the tithe list for Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co., VA. No information in the Cumberland Parish register added any detail to this history. * 1736 Samuel Weaver, Sr. is found on a tithe list for King William Parish, Goochland Co., VA. Samuel Weaver, Jr. & Sr. appear as purchasers for various Goochland Co. estate sales. * 1777 a Samuel Weaver, probably another son of our Joshua, served in various militia units on the Virginia frontier. In his pension application, he states that he was born in Halifax Co., VA in 1759 and served at Womack's Fort in Fincastle District. He was paid 4/16s for 72 days service between 8/26/1777 and 9/24/1777 and a like amount for service from 10/24/1777 to 1/24/1778. This Samuel was active in land transactions of Ashe Co., NC up until about 1809. He then disappears from Ashe Co., NC records. Conclusions:
