General Notes: Husband - John William Weaver, Jr.


He removed with his family to what is now known as Weaver's Mills, Cook township, in 1812, where he purchased a farm of three hundred acres of land, most of it heavily timbered, and resided there until his death. Several years prior to the purchase of the above mentioned farm, a grist mill had been built thereon, and he continued the milling business in connection with farming throughout the active years of his life. He was a man of giant strength, and weighed three hundred pounds. His wife, also, was of extraordinary size and strength, and weighed upward of two hundred pounds. Their children all lived to maturity, and were of more than average size. They are buried side by side in the cemetery near the site of the old Dutch Reformed church, two miles south of Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
