!BIRTH:
ABT 1730 near or in Philadelphia PA
!PARENTS' FAMILY MRIN:
#215 (This gives his father's name as Casper von Weber - a
supposition that has never been proven to the satisfaction
of this compiler. 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

Nancy Chapman, daughter of Billy Chapman who married Henry Weaver, grandson of Christopher (sr), was born in New Jersey 16 Apr 1786. This would indicate the probability that this William Chapman and her father were not the same person since this land transaction was in 1779, before her birth.)

appanage - in France, primarily before the Revolution, the provision of lands within the royal domain, or in some cases of pensions, to the children of the royal family so that they might live in a style corresponding to their position in society.

!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.

ernment in 1995 is Morgan County, West Virginia - 39 40 01 N
