General Notes: Husband - David B. Weaver

---

He was born near "Weaver's Old Stand," in Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. At the age of eight years, after his mother's death, he went to reside with his oldest sister, with whom he remained until he was apprenticed to Abraham Frick to learn the trade of blacksmith. After completing his apprenticeship he worked at his trade for many years and by careful management and hard labor he acquired considerable property.
In politics he was always a democrat until later years, when he changed and became a prohibitionist. He at one time owned "Weaver's Old Stand," after whom it was named, besides owning several valuable tracts of land and other desirable property. He was a member and deacon of the Regular Baptist church.

He and his wife were the parents of eight children.
