There are several WEAVERs in the Martins- burg, West Virginia Cemeteries who may or may not have any connection with Christopher's line. They include 2 Casper WEAVERs in the Greenhill Cemetery. There is also a John J. WEAVER who died Dec. 13, 1855.) !MARRIAGE Possibly 20 JAN 1751 in the Germantown section of Philadel- phia to Anna Elisabeth LINTZIN - see page 601 - RECORD OF THE MARRIAGES IN THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CONGREGATION IN PHILADELPHIA COMMENCED ANNO 1745. The marriage record reads: "Weber, Christoph./Lintzin, Anna Elisabeth; m. January 20 in my room in Germantown. Witness. Matthias Lintz and many farmers." (The word "possibly" is used since thus far no evidence has been found to prove that this Christopher and our forefather were one and the same. We know that Chris- topher's wife was Elizabeth, but, again, is this the same Elizabeth?). There is also the possibility that Christopher had a second wife by the name of Elizabeth CHAPMAN. !DEATH: BEF 15 APR 1788, the date the will was proved "at a court held for Berkeley County". !RESIDENCES: Sleepy Creek, Berkeley County VA.

Weaver, Jr. descendant of both Christopher Weaver and a William (Billy) Chapman. Nancy Chapman, daughter of Billy Chapman who married Henry Weaver, grandson of Christopher (sr), was born in New Jersey 16 Apr 1786.

He inherited from his mother, the daughter of Baron Thomas Culpeper (1635-89), governor of Virginia, estates in Virgi- nia constituting one-fourth of the entire colony. In 1735, when the possibility arose that the grant would be revoked by the Crown, Fairfax visited America, had the lands sur- veyed, and defended his claims, in which he was confirmed in 1745. He settled in Virginia in 1747 and built a home in the Shenandoah Valley on lands surveyed by George Washing- ton. During the American Revolution, Fairfax remained a firm Loyalist.

Signed sealed and declared as my last will and testament Christopher Weaver (LS) in presence of William Rankin Mathias Swain & William Hixson(?) At a court held for Berkeley County the 15th day of April 1788 this last will and testament of Christopher Weaver deceased was proved by the oaths of William Rankin and William Hixon two of the witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded. Examine Testr. M.V. Hunter ClCt (The above will was hand copied from the original hand-written will at the County Court House, Martinsburg, West Virginia, by the compiler - law jr. Because of the age of the paper, it could not be removed from the book to be photocopied.) !REFERENCE(1): THE PENNSYLVANIA-GERMAN SOCIETY - page 601, RECORD OF MARRIAGES IN THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CONGREGATION IN PHILADELPHIA COMMENCED ANNO 1745 - The marriage record reads: "Weber, Christoph./ Lintzin, Anna Elisabeth; m. in my room in Germantown. Witness. Matthias Lintz and many farmers." !COMMENT: While the above is not proof of relationships, it is a strong indication that Matthias was the father of the bride. It is also an indication that this marriage was that of Christopher WEAVER and his wife Elizabeth. Since we know from his Revolutionary War pension application, their son, William, was born in the same county as Phil- adelphia about 5 miles out; Germantown approximates that description. Chronologically the date of marriage seems correct. Photocopy of this marriage record may be found in this compiler's file folder #19 - MARRIAGES. !ANOMALY(1): One source states "m. in my room in Germantown" while another says "at St. Michael's and Zion Church in Philadelphia, PA." !ANOMALY(2): The deed of purchase of Sleepy Creek land gives date of 16 Feb 1779. The Berkeley County Land Book is marked 1782 -1795. !ANOMALY(3): In the Berkeley County Office of the Surveyor of Lands is a document for Parcel 708, Index Map 98.41, 147 acres sum- marized as follows: 24 Jan 1769 warrent Chapman, William 1 Sep 1770 survey Chapman, George (bro of Wm) 12 Mar 1777 grant Chapman, William & Mary 16 Feb 1779 L & R Weber, Christopher & Elizabeth 28 Mar 1783 Will Weaver, Christopher (Jr) & Mary (son) 27 Sep 1794 B & S Weaver, John (Rebecca Cartmell) This brings forth problems - Mary, wife of William Chapman? - John's wife was Catherine Peckinpaugh (proven), so why was Rebecca Cartmell mentioned where wive's name were on the document.  !MISC.
