Notes for Daniel Weaver: Readers of this report must keep
in mind that the genealogical conclusions shown here about
Daniel Weaverand his immediate family are based on very
meager proof. Most of this family's genealogy is based on
circumstantial evidence and strong family tradition.The
purpose of this report is to provide the foundation for a
search for better evidence through a presentation of clues
and known facts.
In this report, which is based on the theory of Martha
Heinemann regarding interpretationof a crucial 1831 Power
of Attorney, we make these assumptions:
1. DanielWeaver was apparently married at least twice as
one strong family tradition indicates Peter, Sarah and
Nancy were brothers and sisters with no mention ofother
siblings, while another says Frances, Samuel, David, Peter,
Lucy, Daniel (Jr), and John are siblings with no mention of
Sarah and Nancy.
2. Daniel's son Samuel often lived in the same locale as
another Samuel Weaver, whowas likely a distant relative.
When locals needed to differentiate between the two they
used the terms, "Big Samuel" or "Senior" for the former,
"LittleSamuel" or "Junior" for latter. (According to
descendants of "Big Samuel," he was in fact a large man
well over six feet tall.) "Little Samuel" had a brother
John who married "Big Samuel's" sister Frances. Both
"Little Samuel" and his brother John (and wife Frances)
ultimately settled in White Co., Tennessee. Both Samuels as
well as this John served in the American RevolutionaryWar
(ARW).
3. In this report we assume three stepdaughters of Daniel
Weaver: Lucy (Weaver) Lee, wife of Robert Lee; Sarah
(Weaver) Hinkle, wife of John Hinkle; and Nancy (Weaver)
Loden, wife of John? Loden.

The LDS IGI has a record of a sealingfor Daniel Weaver of
Virginia, b 27 Nov 1733 in Virginia, a son of Thomas Weaver
and the husband of Anna Stout. Efforts to substantiate the
informationof this sealing were not successful.
--------------------------------------------------------
The "Bedford Co. Power of Attorney" (see below) lists an
1800 grant to the father of the children named in the
document, hence we assume that Daniel died after the date
of the grant.

James Weaver, John Weaver and Thomas Weaver arefound on a
1764 tithe list for Cornwall Parish, Halifax Co., VA, (Now
Charlotte Co., VA.) [The IGI (above) lists James and John
as two sons of Thomas Weaver. James Weaver is a well
documented early resident of Charlotte Co., Va.]
