General Notes: Husband - Jacob Weaver

---

He was born in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, and after the death of his father was brought to Washington County, Pennsylvania, by his mother and other members of the family, and they settled on a portion of the land later owned by his son, John H. Weaver. At that time the forest growth was heavy and before they could erect a cabin a clearing had to be made. For many years conditions of living were hard with the little pioneer colony, but all dangers were finally overcome and the rapid development of that part of Amwell Township was much the result of the Weaver family. As may be imagined, Jacob Weaver had but meager educational opportunities but he grew strong and robust physically and lived to the unusual age of ninety-four years. He served as one of the first school directors of the township and he was very active in the founding of the Lone Pine Christian Church of which he was long a member. In politics he was a Jacksonian Democrat.
