Research Note

I am putting together additional source notes. I have suspected for a few months that John Weaver and John Adam Weaver were the same person. In multiple places I have John and John Adam with the same birth date. Adam was christen 4 months later in 1758, but no Christening for John. There is some confusion about death dates. 1826 or 1833. Adam shows up in Pennsylvania, but John shows up in Ohio. We know Adam went to Ohio during the St. John's Church, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania migration to Montgomery County, Ohio.

German Names are a problem with research. All the male children could have the first name of Johann/John, the second name is usually the perferted name. Lots of records/sources and family trees commingle the sons of Johann Enoch Weber/Weaver. Adam, Jacob, Peter all have the first name of Johann/John.

This is one of those rabbit holes, I can never seem to get out of. (Tim Weaver 3/31/2020)
