    2. JaSEn
    3. Okay, can someone help me with this: the information below was given to me by a cousin (I do not know where it originated). Read through it please I have questions at the end. The following is from a copy of the family birth record brought to America from Germany by Jacob WEAVER and his brothers John and Joseph when they imigrated to America landing at Jamestown VA in the early 1800's. From there they went to KY where John made his home. Joseph & Jacob went on to Indiana and entered land near Leessville, Lawrence Co.,IN. in 1831. Jon WEAVER b: Mar 4, 1745 d:Jun 29, 1818 Ann WEAVER b: Dec 31, 1747 Cath~ WEAVER b: Dec 31, 1765 Fra= Weaver b: Jun 4, 1768 Susan WEAVER b: Jan 23, 1770 d: May 7, 1790 Jermia WEAVER b: Apr 2, 1772 d: Jan 11, 1826 Tilghm=WEAVER b: Aug 28, 1774 d: Jan 29, 1812 Molly WEAVER b: Jan 2, 1777 Eliza WEAVER b: May 21, 1779 Ann WEAVER b: Nove 23, 1781 Sarh WEAVER b: May 27, 1784 John WEAVER b: Jan 27, 1788 Jacob WEAVER b: Oct 9, 1790 Joseph WEAVER b: Mar 22, 1793 Since there is a recorded death on the list - it is should follow that they came to America after Jan 11,1826. Okay, so far so good - the story is that they were the first WEAVER's in Lawrence Co.,IN. No problem - I have found records of land entries in Lawrence Co.,IN for Joseph in 1828,1834,1837,1838,1841; for Jacob in 1837 - fine this fits the picture........but I also found land entries in Lawrence Co.,IN for John Weaver in 1824 as well as 1835 and 1837. The later ones do bother me - KY and IN are not too far apart to hold land in each. But - does it not appear that maybe John came to America before Joseph and Jacob? I have tried to locate ships coming into Jamestown from Germany within the 1826-1828 time frame but have had no luck. Can anyone tell me where I might find this information? I check every immigration and ship site that I have come across............ Also, by any chance does anyone else connect with this WEAVER line? Most of them changed the spelling to WEVER shortly after settling in Lawrence Co. and several migrated to IL. Janet
