General Notes: Husband - Rev. John William Weber

---

He was one of three brothers who emigrated from Holland to America prior to the Revolution. They settled for a time in New Jersey, where two of the brothers, John and Henry, joined the Continental army. Henry was killed during the war.

He received his earlier education in Westphalia, Germany, and took a course of theological studies in Stockholm, Sweden. He emigrated to America in 1762 and settled in New Jersey. He had charge of Reformed churches in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, in 1782-3. Reformed people from the eastern counties, as well as from Maryland and Virginia, came as settlers to Westmoreland County some years before the Revolution, and thus in 1782-3 we find a request was made to Rev. Coetus for a Reformed minister. Answering their petition, Rev. John William Weber was accordingly sent them, and he entered upon his work in the beginning of June, 1783. He preached at Harrolds and Brush Creek, in Hempfield township; at Kintighs, in Mount Pleasant township; at the Ridge, in Unity township; and he was the founder of the German Evangelical Lutheran church at Sixth and Smithfield streets, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where most probably no stated services or organized congregation existed before he came, as there were less than one hundred rude log huts outside the fort at that time. His pastorate over these churches extended over a period of thirty-three years. On his arrival he had to find a home in a rude log cabin until he secured a more suitable place. He purchased a farm on the Sewickley creek, afterward owned by Colonel Israel Painter, and here he passed the remainder of his life. He was buried in Milliron cemetery, and a suitable monument marks his last resting place.
