NOTE:Received Weaver Family Info from Jim Johnson, Sep 1997: JHJJCJ@aol.com
Web Site: http://members.aol.com/jhjjcj/index.html. (See file for his excellent source records.)"Possible date of birth, New Holland, Earl Twp, York Co, PA. Baltzer traced his ancestry back to the French Huguenots, who on account of their religious views, were driven from their native land, and sought homes somewhere on the upper waters of the Rhine River, on the banks of a small stream called Ulm. Today the city Ulm is in southwest Germany in the Province of Wurttenberg, on the border with Bayern. The Ulm River is on the Donau River. The Iller River joins the Donau, south of the city of Ulm. Here they were also persecuted and in order to enjoy greater religious liberty, they embarked for America, landing at Philadelphia about 1700.
The residents of the Ulm and Rhine Valley were hard-working, thrifty people. They were tired of the constant war, so in 1683 when William Penn offered the Colony of Pennsylvania for all people, these Germans of the Rhine Valley were ready for an exodus. Nearly all of those who left Germany sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, to Philadelphia. These Germans were called "Pennsylvania Dutch".
Served in the Revolutionary War, probably from Berkeley Co, VA.
10 Mar 1785 purchased 296 acres from Mathias Swim. (Mathias Swim and Christopher Weaver, the father of Mary Magdalene Weaver, were mentioned as living on Sleepy Creek, Berkeley Co, Va, where they gave patriotic service during the Revolutionary War.)
