This was posted to the Randolph Co and Monroe CO forums, but I mention it here as well because of the Weber and Weaver names. Judy- I don't have the information you are searching, but I am searching for Weber/Weaver families in Randolph Co also. I am looking for information on a Johann Michael Weber born 12 June 1806 in Bavaria, Germany. He is the sone of Johann George Weber and Maria Catharine Rudolph. His marriage record shows him as John Weaver (Weber) marrying Catharine (Rosine Baumann) Scholl (born 12 February 1808 somewhere in Wurttemberg, Germany) on 27 July 1837 in Monroe County, IL. Johann Michael Weber died Oct. 27, 1856 in Red Bud, Randolph, IL. Their children include Jacob Weber (14 Mar 1840), Elizabeth Weber (b. 18 Mar 1841), William Weber (b 25 Aprl 1844), Margareta Weber (B 7 Apr 1846), William Weber (B 7 Apr 1846), Margaret Weber (B 7 Dec 1847), and another child (B 1854). All were born in Monroe or Randolph counties; it appears that some may not have lived as shown by repeated first names of younger children. Is it possible that your Nancy Weaver could be a wife or a daughter of one of these children? Who were Nancy's parents?

Weaver from that date who was found hanged in her cabin in Chester, IL. She had many children who probably attended school there, James/Joseph, Willis, Arvil, Betty, Rindy, and possibly a set of twins who would have been 10 yrs. old. Any help will be appreciated.
