JOHN WEAVER, a son of this pioneer couple, was born in Chester county, Penn., having come with his parents to Chartiers township, this county, when but seven years of age. He grew to manhood in this county, and learned the trade of a stone mason. When a young man he selected a life companion in the person of MARY McMILLAN, a native of North Strabane township, daughter of DR. JOHN and CATHERINE (BROWN) McMILLAN.
