The biography for James Lee Weaver is empty. What can you add?
Lee was born in 1943 in Langdale, Chambers, Alabama. He was the son of James Curry "Ted" Weaver and Sara Weldon Burke. Lee lived in Langdale until June 1950 and attended kindergarten 1949 and first grade 1950 at Langdale School. The Family moved to Brookhaven, Dekalb, Georgia for one year where Lee attended 2nd Grade at Jim Cherry Elementary School and in June 1951 they moved to St. Petersburg, Pinellas, Florida. Lee attended third through sixth grade at North Shore Elementary School. Then Mirror Lake Junior High School and began 10th grade at Northeast High School. In December the family moved to Curlew, Pinellas, Florida and Lee Attended Tarpon Springs High School. He studied at the United States Armed Forces Institute, Florida Keys Junior College, Navy Photography Schools in Pensacola, FL, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of South Florida, Auburn University, Clayton State College and worked at Georgia Tech Navy Recruiting Station. Lee joined the Navy June 27, 1960 and retired from the Navy on June 23, 2003. Lee traveled the world as a Navy Photographer and served in three combat areas as a combat photographer. Lee worked as an electrician, painter, shrimper, crash fireman, photographer, pilot, teacher, Delta Air Lines, Piedmont Hospital, Commemorative Air Force and retired in 2012. Lee began his genealogical research in 1952 when he joined the Methodist Church in St. Petersburg and received a Bible with a blank family tree between the Old and New Testaments. Lee's been working on this tree ever since. He wrote is own program to keep up with his database on a Sony CPM machine in the early 1980's, then switched to Personal Ancestry File when LDS provided that program and Lee still uses it, in addition to many others over the years.
YDNA test results show Lee as being haplogroup R-M269 Lineage 2B which indicates he was a descendant of John Weaver who died 1719, Surry Co., VA. His Big Y STR result is FTA29916 which indicates Lee descends from John's youngest son, Stephen Weaver.

Just a reminder that Pre-1700 profiles require reliable sources. An online family tree is not a reliable source. You might find the England Project Reliable Sources of help.
Also, just "family tree" without any information about where the information can be found is not a source. You can find more information on the Sources FAQ.
BTW - My grandmother was a Sands and I have a long line of Knight in the South. I do not see a connection with your Sands or Knight.
Sorry for the delay in reply. I see that you had several duplicate profiles that have since been merged, but still have family tree references. The profile for Ellen Sadler, however, is clearly unsourced from some undefined family tree. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sadler-3795
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

I've been getting Wikitree emails for a long time but I had no idea what to do with them. I hope at long last we can finally have a common tree for all Weaver's.
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
