Thanks, Catherine.That is very interesting.I'm not sure where the error is, though, nor certain either way, whether it was Samuel or Thomas who married Elizabeth (Torbert) Cherry.Perhaps the information her descendant supplied the Tuscaloosa book was wrong, but I'm not convinced the transcriber wasn't mistaken either, or if even the deponent wasn't mistaken.But I'll have to go back and find some old letters I received some 20 years ago from Elizabeth Torbert Cherry's descendant.This abstract in the S.C. magazine is a great find, though.
The only Thomas Wier (Weir) there, so I thought, was the Thomas Wier (Jr.) who married Mary Withrow, a brother of Samuel Wier.And he didn't have a second wife.
I've never seen it suggested that Elizabeth married both Samuel Wier and Thomas Wier, and that's probably far-fetched.
This William Lipscomb, incidentally, who made the statement in 1803 that Elizabeth Cherry had married Thomas Weir, was a great uncle of Elizabeth Lipscomb who married William Wier, son of Thomas Jr. and Mary (Withrow) Wier.She was the daughter of his brother Joel Lipscomb who married Elizabeth (Chiles).So I wonder if he might have said Thomas by mistake.Evidently he knew them all.
Notice also that Robert Ellington Torbert shows Elizabeth Torbert Cherry's second husband as Samuel Wier, and I believe he has researched the Torberts for many years:

He doesn't show Samuel Wier and Elizabeth Torbert Cherry Wier as producing any children, however.
