My Dad is a Weakland from Cambria and the information that we have is that the 1st John Weaklandcame to Maryland in 1634 aboard the Dove and listed as a servant.He married an Indian Princess from the Yaocomico tribe.Their son John Weaklandwas born around 1726 and came to McGuire's settlement in the late 1700's.I looked in all of my information and didn't find any reference to a Jacob WeaklandMy Great Grandfather Harvey Weakland had a portrait of an Indian Princess in his room and while I'm sure it probably wasn't our ancestor, I believe that the story of her was true.
