General Notes: Husband - Capt. Samuel Weir

---

He was born near Ballymoney, County Antrim, Ireland. He came to America in 1775, and located in the township of Derry, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. A year subsequently we find him in the army of the Revolution as lieutenant of infantry, rendering important service at Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, and Germantown. At the close of the war he removed to a farm he purchased near Harrisburg, but shortly after, in 1787, began merchandising in that town, and became one of the most prominent business men of the borough. He assisted in organizing the Presbyterian Church at Harrisburg, and was one of its first ruling elders.
