He came to America as a small child with his father settling in Upper
Salford Township, Bucks County, PA. He served in the Revolutionary War
and several enlistments in the Cumberland County Militia.  His war

ways. His records show service from 1779 to 1782 (Ref. SE1a).
After the Revolution he and Sophia settled first in Elk Lick Township
and later in what was then Quemahoning (now Paint Township) (Ref.

PA, on 9/3/94, who gave us directions to the property. ; Ellis
Berkebile purchased the property from Robert H. Seese around 1988.
To reach this gravesite, take SR 601 south off SR 56. ; Go to top of

a hill.
Mrs. Berkebile is the great-granddaughter of Jonas Weaver, for whom
the farm is named.  The now board horses and still farm the land.
