Hi everyone,
Seeking connections on my Weavers, especially Jacob & Matthew:
1. Jacob Weaver, a Scottish immigrant who c. 1770s lived in Frederick &
Washington cos, MD, according to Travis's Clay Co history which cites early MD
records. Brumbaugh's MD records report a 1776 listing in St. John's & Prince
George's Parishes, MD, for a Jacob & Ann Weaver with five children, 3 males
under 16 & 2 females. This agrees with family records. However, the 1790 MD
census lists no Jacob in Frederick Co. but in neighboring Washington Co. there
is a Jacob Weaver & wife with nine children: six males & 3 females. A Jacob
Weaver voted in 1796 in Frederick Co, MD. Family records list Matthew, son of
Jacob & Ann Weaver, as our ancestor. His siblings' names are unknown.
2. Matthew, b. 1756 in MD or NJ; m. Sarah PARRISH abt 1795. Matthew died
1856-1857 in Canton, IL. He established the Weaver line in Clay Co, IN.
Matthew and Sarah's children:
William, b. 1803 in Va
Jacob, b. 1806 in VA or Clermont Co, OH
James, b. 1808 in Dayton, OH
Ann, b. 1810
Mary Ellen, b. 1815
John O., b. 1813 in Louden Co, VA
Sammuel Warren, b. 1818 in OH
NOTE: If the above birthplaces are correct the family went from VA to OH to
VA to OH to Clay Co, IN. Birthplaces are from family records and haven't
been verified.
3. John O., Matthew's son, m. Nancy CORNWELL in OH abt 1836. Their children
were:
David Warren "Warren," b. 1836 in Clermont Co, OH; d. 1921 in Clay Co, IN; m.
Martha Ann TRIPLETT and Elvira NICHOLS
Silvin, b. abt 1839; d. 1860 in Clay Co, IN; m. Mary E. RARDIN
George W. Weaver; m. 1867 Martha Ann DILLEY in Clay Co, IN
Maria Weaver; m. James M. PRICE, M.D.
3. Samuel Warren, also Matthew's son, m-1 Magdalene VON GUNDY in Hamilton
Co, OH in 1846. Their children:
Lila W. Weaver, b. abt 1847 in KY; m. 1866 Webster NANCE in Clay Co, IN
Sarah Catherine Weaver, b. 1848 nr Covington, KY; m. 1871 Matthew W. NANCE
Josephine A. Weaver, b. 1851 in IN; m. 1871 John A. DOWNING in IN
Franklin Pierce, b. 1852 in Clay Co, IN; m. Rhoda Catherine "Kate" WEBSTER
Mary Magdalene Weaver, b. abt 1855 in IN; m. 1874 Montgomery OLIVER in IN
Samuel Warren m-2 Phoebe J. WINN in 1860 in IN. Their children:
Charlie, b. 1861; d at age 3-1/2
Daniel W., b. abt 1866
I have more data on Weavers in Clay Co, IN which I'd be glad to share. Would
love to learn more about their ancestors Jacob and Matthew. Can anyone help?
