WEAKLEY in Central PA Newspapers,1700s
Following are abstracts from newspaper articles in central PA in the late 1700s containing members of the Cumberland County Weakley family. These are mostly brothers. They are sons of James Weakley and Jane Wilson. The only two who are as yet unidentified (meaning I'm not sure of their exact connection to my family) are Rebecca Weakley and Benjamin Weakley. James in the below articles is Lt. James of the Revolution, my direct ancestor.
