General Notes: Husband - William Weaver


He resided at home at the time of his father's death, took charge of the mill, and lived with his mother until his marriage. He was what may be called a four square man, strong on all sides, of sterling honesty and integrity, and a leader in the community in which he lived. He was a staunch Democrat all his life, his first presidential vote being cast for General Jackson, and he never failed to record his vote at the elections. He served as a school director for many years, and was a commissioned officer in the militia of the state. He was a member of the Pleasant Grove Presbyterian church from his early man­hood, and served as a ruling elder for more than half a century. He was widely known as a churchman, took a scholarship in the organization of Wash­ington and Jefferson College, represented his church in her several church courts at Presbytery frequently, and was several times a member of the synod. His seat in the church was seldom vacant, and as a Bible reader he had few equals among the common people. At the death of his father in 1828 he took charge of the grist mill and continued to operate it until 1842, when he became the owner of the same, the property having been partitioned and he taking that part at the valuation placed upon it, his brother Isaac accepting the remainder. William continued the business until March 4, 1861, when his son, Jacob G. Weaver, succeeded him. He resided on the old homestead until his death.
