General Notes: Husband - John [2] Weibel
He came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1790 and settled at what is now known as East Liberty. After his marriage he removed to O'Hara township, Allegheny County, where he purchased land from the government and developed an excellent and very extensive farm. He was a great advocate of the free school system, even long before it was a popular measure. In his descendants' possession was an article of agreement, dated 1823, in which, with Charles Abbott as teacher, John Weibel and some neighbors agreed to educate their children in the English language.
He was from pure old Swabian German stock and a strong adherent to the faith of his fathers, the German Reformed, of Calvinistic principles. Politically he was an ardent Whig.
