I also have a Weaver in my line, my great aunt married John L Weaver, son of a William Weaver, thought I would send you the information, do you see any possible chance of a connection? Ancestors of John L. WEAVER Generation No. 1 1. John L. WEAVER, born Abt. 1841 in New York; died Bef. June 1900. He was the son of 2. William WEAVER and 3. Alpha HOUGHTON. He married (1) Lucratia CRAMER August 12, 1870 in Dodge Co., NE. She was the daughter of John K. CRAMER and Frances B. WEST. Notes for John L. WEAVER: 11-28-97 email message from GenieNEBR@aol.com, Bob Oltmanns, states John L Weaver was born in New York, no age listed. Census record for 1880, Fremont city, 1st and 4th Wards states he was born in Ireland. No age listed. ***** 11-28-97 a listing in South Dakota Quarterly on John L Weaver, may or may not be the same one, states he was on the 1890 Civil War Veteran's Census from Custer County, SD, Data showed he had a residence in Hermosa, SD. Information obtained from Maurice and Florence Krueger, who looked it up in the Quarterly, Vol 4, Issue 3, page 111. <mkrueger@iw.net> 178 Southshore Drive, Mina, SD 57462 605-226-0707 ***** 5-2-98 Received a copy of 1885 Fremont City Census listing John and family, and they have 2 more children than I knew before. ***** 9-21-98 I received a copy of the 1900 Census for Pennington County. It lists Lucratia as the head of the family. I assume John died before the census in 1900. ***** Notes for Lucratia CRAMER: Lucratia lived in Hill City, SD in 1894 when her father passed away. In the 1900 Census, Lucratia is listed as the head of the house. She was renting a home, she had Lottie, Myrtis and Bernie? living with her. It appears to state she had 6 children and 1 is living, but I believe 6 were living and one passed away. This is an assumption because she seems to have had 7 children, if Bernie? is her son, as listed. She lived in Pennington County South Dakota, Rockford Precinct, Enumerated on 27th of June, Enumeration district # 40, Sheet # 27, line 77-80. Children of John WEAVER and Lucratia CRAMER are: i. Lealand WEAVER, born Abt. 1871. ii. Alpha F. WEAVER, born Abt. 1875. Notes for Alpha F. WEAVER: Alpha was named after her father's mother. iii. Ruie E. WEAVER, born Abt. 1877. iv. Lottie WEAVER, born Abt. April 1879. Notes for Lottie WEAVER: Lottie is listed at home with her mother, in the 1900 census. She is listed as 21 years old ***** v. Myrtis WEAVER, born Abt. May 1881. Notes for Myrtis WEAVER: In reading the 1900 Census, it appears Myrtis is the name of this child. I already had the initial M. She is listed as 19 years old, living at home with her mother. vi. John WEAVER, born Abt. May 1883. Notes for John WEAVER: John Weaver boarding with Orestes Cramer, he is 17. On the 1900 census for Pennington Co., SD I found that information. He is listed as a common laborer, he can read, write and understands English, according to the census. vii. B WEAVER, born November 1895 in Pennington Co., SD. Notes for B WEAVER: I am unsure of the last two listings in this family. The 1900 Census lists John Weaver as boarding with Orestes Cramer, and 17 years old. It also says Lucratia had 6 children. I am unable to make out the name in full, it looks like Be_ _ _ ie ***** Generation No. 2 2. William WEAVER. He married 3. Alpha HOUGHTON. 3. Alpha HOUGHTON. Child of William WEAVER and Alpha HOUGHTON is: 1 i. John L. WEAVER, born Abt. 1841 in New York; died Bef. June 1900; married Lucratia CRAMER August 12, 1870 in Dodge Co., NE.
