General Notes: Husband - Samuel Weir

---

He is descended from Scotch-Irish ancestors. In the latter part of the eighteenth century he and two of his brothers first landed on American soil. They crossed the ocean together, and soon after their arrival in the United States settled near the head of Chartiers creek in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Samuel made a permanent settlement on a farm in Washington County, where he followed agricultural pursuits and distilling, the latter industry being then a common occupation.

In the latter part of the eighteenth century he came with a brother from Scotland to America, the family finally making a settlement in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In the fall of 1813 he purchased, of John Sargent, 200 acres of wild land on Ten Mile creek, to which he afterward added 180 acres. He was married and they then settled on the Stephen Post farm, where they passed the remainder of their days. He was a lifelong farmer, eminently successful in his vocation. For many years he was a consistent Presbyterian, in which faith he died. In politics he was an active Demo-crat.
