According to the will for Henry Wimer I (Pend. Co. Will Book 4, p. 73), Henry lists his wife as Catherine but gave no children's names. The will was written 29 Dec 1824 and was proved in court 2 Mar 1825. Catherine's estate was settled in 1829, (Pendleton co. Inventory book). This Henry first appeared on the tax lists in 1794. He is on the muster roll of Pendleton militia in Capt. William Janes' Co. Here's an interesting tidbit of information. In a newspaper article in the Clarksburg Sunday Exponent and Telegram, 25 Jun 1933 entilted Jacob P. Wimer represents Fourth Generation of early W.Va. Pioneers, describes Henry Wimer the immigrant as follows: "Henry Weimar, one of the four brothers who came to America from Germany, was the ancestor of the West Virginia Wimers. He settled in Pendleton county east of the Allegheny mountains and fought through the Revolution as an American soldier. His mother died at sea as the family was crossing the Atlantic ocean on the way to America. "Eccentric in passion, this pioneer held the members of his family in such terror as to make them afraid to speak to him at times. There is a legend that when he was at work in the field; members of the family carried him his dinner and put it on a stump where he could see it, but dared not tell him anything about it. This story was told by a daughter, Barbara Weimar Life, the latter part of her life many years ago." I hesitate to mention this newspaper article because none of the information was documented and many inaccuracies were found. One such inaccuracy is listing the family of Henry and Elizabeth Zickefoose Wimer in the lineage of Henry. Glen Huffman (Bridgewater Va.) believes they are in the line of George Wimer.
