Hello :) I am new to this list and have a lot of Weaver information that I'd like to list here. Some of it is my direct line, some of it is information that was gathered by my dad's Aunt in order to Join the DAR in Laurel Co., KY. The early information is sparse to say the least and I cannot personally verify it. It is said that originally there was a Weaver family in England, headed by James Weaver of Strangford, England. This is a direct quote from the book my great aunt put together "Owned a large estate in Hereford County then moved to the village of Scooly in Eastern England. Then seeking religious freedom he and his family left England for Holland, except the four older sons. James remained in Holland for a few years then they moved to Hamburg, Germany were they became manufacturers and acquired a modest fortune." James died in Hamburg, Germany. The wife of this James is not known, but here are the four sons who stayed in England. James (Peter) Weaver again the direct information from the book - "He was a student at Oxford, then came to America, sailing with a group bound for the Virginia Colony. Commonly known as Peter, he was a teacher and a preacher, he obtained a large farm near Petersburg, Virginia. He grew tobacco and other farm products. He came from England with his brother Samuel. James (Peter) died possibly in Petersburg, VA. Samuel Weaver Joseph Weaver Isaac Weaver - Somewhere I have information that said that Isaac Weaver became a surveyor and went into KY and TN, later he moved to NY. The wife of James (Peter) Weaver is not known, but I have information on two of his sons. Daniel Weaver b. 1724 He settled briefly in Rockingham County Virginia and then in Cumberland County were he made his home. He was the father of seven children, he was born in Virginia He lived at least until the Rev war. Son Samuel Weavers pension file talks of going home during the war. I have a copy of his son, Samuel Weavers Pension file and have seen this information myself. Unfortunately at the moment it is buried in my boxes from moving and I haven't found it yet. David Weaver There is a paragraph in the book that says David moved down to NC. He settled briefly in Rockingham County Virginia and then in Cumberland County were he made his home. He was the father of seven children, he was born in Virginia Samuel Weaver b. November 26, 1755, Rockingham Co., Virginia, Cumberland Co., Va (not sure which one) d.
