    Notes 
    • We currently list Jacob Weaver's parents as Johann Heinrich Weaver and Anna Gertrude Sasse, but it is unlikely that they are actually Jacob's parents. They are listed as being born in Zurich, although some other accounts on the web list them as being born in Virginia, which is very unlikely. Johann is said to have died in 1855 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, also unlikely if he is the father of Jacob, who was very young in 1855 and who emigrated to America in 1867. In addition, if they were parents, their names would be prominently represented in the offspring of Jacob and his wife Magdalena Oberholtzer, which is not the case. We list them as Jacob's parents, but they are likely not his parents.

  • Histories
    The Weaver Way: Zürich → Pennsylvania → Ohio
    This history traces the path of Sharon (née Weaver) Vitter's 4th great grandfather, Swiss immigrant Jacob Weaver Sr., who ventured from the canton of Zürich to Pennsylvania via Rotterdam on the ship Sally in 1767. His sons continued onward in the early 1800s to Ohio. Open questions remain about his ancestors in the old country.
