> Richard,
> My George Frederick Weaver(Weber) arrived in America in 1755. He married
Eva Catherine. HIs son Frederick Weaver was born in Maryland 1775 and
married Elizabeth Maugans at St John's Lutheran Church in Hagerstown. They
moved to Clermont Co Ohio early 1800 with other families in the area. Are
you researching the same line? I have more information on my line and would
love to share with you if that is the line you are interested in. Have a
great day.
