General Notes: Husband - George Weston


He spent his early life in Huntingdon County, PA. Late in 1846 he and his wife moved across the mountains to Lawrence County, settling at Neshannock Falls, near New Castle, where they remained until their removal to Venango County in 1854. Coming to Irwin Township, he secured part of the farm later occupied by his son S. Reed Weston, paying about four hundred dollars for fifty acres whose only improvements were a log house and stable. Fifteen acres had been cleared at one time, but had been allowed to revert to a wild state, so that the Westons had to do practically all the work involved in reclaiming the tract. But this did not discourage Mr. Weston, who was a great worker. As a young man he had been employed around furnaces, cutting cordwood, etc., and he was accustomed to industry. His well directed efforts had their reward in time, for he not only put his original holding under cultivation, but added another fifty acres to it, retaining most of this land until his death, at which time the farm covered eighty-nine acres. He brought the property into excellent condition in every respect, and kept it up with solicitous forethought, providing well for the future and laying his plans intelligently, to be carried out systematically. [CAB, 637]


General Notes: Wife - Anna M. Hall


She spent her early life in Huntingdon County, PA, having been reared in the town of Huntingdon. She survived to the age of eighty-seven, after the death of her husband, making her home with her son Reed until her decease.
