I'm not having any luck finding Nicholas and Dorothy, but find a Hamilton
Weaver 19, Lidea Weaver 20, and Noah Roush 21, living with a Joseph &
Margaret SIEGREST in Mason Co., VA. The date of enumeration on the page is Aug.
10, 1860. There's also a Noah M. Roush age 21 indexed and enumerated with
parents Mark & Mary ROUSH 2 houses away. The handwriting is hard to read
and the census transcriber has her indexed as "Lideo", 10yrs. old, but it
looks like 20 to me.
I tried numerous combinations of spellings with birthplace/birthyear as
well as the soundex index
and still can't find anything. I looked up Nicholas and family in the 1850
census and noticed that the SIEGRIST and ROUSH families were their neighbors
so I looked a couple pages forward & back for the WEAVERs in 1860 but still
didn't find them. Maybe they were missed by the census taker or they were
traveling or something.

According to the biography pasted below, Nicholas and Dorothy (Dolly) Weaver
may have been living in Meigs Co., OH in 1860 because their daughter Lydia
was married there in 1860 to Noah J. Roush. Nicholas Weaver b. 1803 PA and
wife Dorothy b. 1812 OH were living in Mason Co., VA in 1850 and in Mason
Co., WV in 1880. I cannot find Nicholas and Dorothy in 1860 or 1870 but have
found some of their children no longer living with them. In 1850 their
children were Eliza age 18, Margaret age 16, Decatur age 14, Levina age 12,
Hamilton age 10, Lydia age 6, Elizabeth age 4, and Nicholas age 2. In 1851
they had a son Adam H. and in 1854 another son Andrew J. These last two sons
should be with the parents in 1860. Would very much like to find Nicholas
and Dorothy (Dolly) Weaver in the 1860 census.
