Sarah (Sally) Weaver, b. 1797, (wife to John Middaugh) is my third great
grandmother. According to
Lucius E. Weaver in History and Genealogy of a
Branch of the Weaver Family (The Du Bois Press. Rochester, New York. 1928),
she is the 17th great granddaughter of Humphrey Wever, the "first Weaver"
in our line to use
the Weaver (Wever) surname.
|
The Weaver's are ostensibly descended from the kings of
Wales. The first "king" in this line is Cunedda. I
have documented this line elsewhere. [Cunedda
to Humphrey Wever].
On these pages I have documented the Weaver's, mostly as found in
Lucius Weaver's work. So far, I only have fully transcribed the
descendents of William Weaver (b. 19 Dec 1695 in East Greenwich, Kent, RI,
son of William Weaver and Elizabeth Harris). He is the 16th generation from
Humphrey Wever. From this William, I have completed the documentation
of my direct ancestor
line back to Humphrey Wever (with but a few of the ancillary lines
included.) I am slowly working my way more fully through the
earlier generations of Weavers.
The Weaver's who are in my pedigree line are identified with the ^ symbol
directly following their name, making it easier to track
through the pages.
Lucius Weaver published his work in 1928. He often refers to
people in the present tense, such as "He is a farmer in Wilna,
N.Y." I have taken these entries to mean that, to Lucius
Weaver's knowledge, the individual was alive "abt 1928," and
my entries reflect this assumption.

Lucius Weaver's work is available online at Genealogy.com
online library. This is a subscription service. This
is a scanned copy, and a few mis-scannings have been so far
identified.
A hard copy reprint of the work is available from
the Higginson Book Company, 148 Washington St., PO Box 778, Salem,
MA. Tel 978-745-7170.
As I have indicated elsewhere, I periodically upload
my database to Rootsweb.com,
where it is fully searchable. This database is mirrored at Ancestry.com
