I am searching for a missing sea captain. I do not know the first and middle name of a ship captain WEAVER, b: abt. 1820 (place unknown) who lived in Philadelphia until approximately 1870 when he retired from the sea and became the overseer of a bronze factory (I think across the river in NJ). I do not know when or where ship captain Weaver died. He was the captain of a Barque that sailed between Manchester England and Philadelphia. There is a possibility that his first name could be William or Edwin. Ship captain Weaver had a Quaker sister (name unknown) and a brother George. Ship captain Weaver's first wife (name unknown) died in 1855. Ship captain Weaver had three children by his first wife. 1. George Augusta Weaver b: January 1851 in Philadelphia: d: January 31, 1946 in NJ; m: April 9 Hoboken NJ to Margaretta Veldran. 2. Mary Weaver (married Harry Walker). I do not know when or where she was born, but it was probably Philadelphia. I do not know when or where she died. Harry Weaver who went to sea as a young man and married a woman from Manchester England and he eventually died there. Ship captain Weaver had a second wife (name unknown) who was a widow he met on his ship and they had one child, Nellie Weaver, a Philadelphia artist, who never married. Carl Weaver redeye6@aol.com
