General Notes: Husband - John Frederick Weaver

---

He was born in Haines township, Centre County, PA, and being the youngest of seven sons, according to the old saying, “should be a doctor.” Strange enough, he naturally possessed a talent for the medical profession, and from youth was called “Doc­tor.” Although he never studied medicine, he used to bleed many people when the custom was in vogue, and manufactured and dealt in medi­cine, selling throughout the township. He was reared to farm labor, but when quite young learned stocking weaving at New Berlin, PA, and later engaged in general weaving, manufact­uring carpets, bed spreads, cloth, etc.

He and his wife began housekeep­ing in Haines township, Centre County, PA, where he had erected a small dwelling on a couple of acres of land, and there followed his trade of weaving until the spring of 1834, when he removed to a farm he had purchased one mile east of Aaronsburg, compris­ing sixty acres. This he cultivated in connection with weaving, and added to the original tract until he had 128 acres of excellent land. Al­though his father's estate was quite large, it had to be divided among so many children that each received only a small amount. According to the provisions of the will, the next to the youngest son received the farm, and was to pay each of the fourteen children $200, at intervals of two years each, beginning with the eldest, so that it was thirty years before Frederick received his $200. He therefore had to start out in life with no capital, and the success which he achieved was due to his own unaided efforts. His political support was given the Dem­ocratic party until the formation of the Repub­lican party, when he joined its ranks. Religious­ly, both he and his first wife were consistent members of the Lutheran Church.

He died in January, 1885. [CBRCP, 242]
