George & Mary Weir Hill, Winston County, MS - Smith County, TX
I am attempting to locate the parents of a Mary Weir who married George W. Hill on March 9, 1846 in Winston County, MS.Both Mary and George were born in Alabama and are my GGGrandparents. They moved to Smith County, TX in 1850 and appear in the census records for both Winston County, MS and Smith County, TX. in 1850.
Living in Winston County, MS in 1850 were some others Weirs:

My Mary Weir is of the right age that she could have been Thomas Weir's daughter.Does anyone know if Thomas Weir had a daughter named Mary?I don't know how John E and Hugh G. might be related to Thomas Weir. I don't think Thomas would have two sons named John.Can you help me to find where Mary fits into the Weir family?
My GGrandfather Ezekiel Childress married aMartha E. (Betty) Weir b. April 1867 in Leake County, MS. Betty was the daughter of Charles Boyd Weir b. 1844 in Leake County, MS. Charlie was the son of John E. Weir born in Chester County, SC. John was the son of John Weir of Ireland.This information on the Weir family I got at a Weir reunion at Bald Prairie, TX a few years ago.
The Thomas Weir family prospered in the 1850s and accumulated a considerable amount of wealth by the looks of the 1860 US Census.
