  • Notes 
    • !20. JOHN5 WEAVER, (William,4 (7) Clemen~~Please provide valid Source. Thanks!
      !20. JOHN5 WEAVER, (William,4 (7) Clement,3 Clement,2 Clement1) born Nov. 24, 1701, in East
      Greenwich, R. I., and he died there Aug. 12, 1756.

      He married (1) his own cousin, Mary Weaver, daughter of his uncle Clement and aunt Hannah
      (Long) Weaver. She was born in East Greenwich March 19, 1710; m. April 18, 1728, and d. between
      April 28, 1744, when she signed a deed, and Dec., 1747. He married (2) Dec. 22, 1747, Hannah
      (Bailey) Wood, a widow with four children. She was born in East Greenwich Jan. 9, 1707-8, dau. of
      Hugh and Ann (Bailey) Wood. The date of her death has not been learned, but she was living in East
      Greenwich Jan. 23, 1786, when she released her dower in certain real estate her second husband had
      owned in that town.

      He was admitted a freeman of East Greenwich April 10, 1728, and of the colony April 30, 1728. In
      1749 he removed to West Greenwich and on Aug. 29 he was made a freeman of that town. He
      returned to East Greenwich in 1754 or early in 1755. He owned much real estate.

      His widow Hannah was appointed to administer his estate Sept. 4, 1756. His inventory, Aug. 12,
      1756, amounted to œ1714-8-8, and included various silver articles, as sleeve buttons, girdle buckles,
      clasps, etc., a few books among which were "one old Psalter, one old Spelling book, a Rethmetick
      book and a Primmer." He had cooper's tools œ21 and carpenter's tools œ5. There were notes due
      him from Harris Weaver, Daniel Weaver and others.

      June 24, 1758, Hannah Weaver, as administratrix of John, filed a claim for 52 weeks board of John's
      son at twenty shillings per week and for her own "extraordinary service as administratrix." She also
      requested that Clement Weaver, son of John, be summoned before the council "she having good
      reason to suspect" that he has possession of some of his late father's personal estate. (East
      Greenwich Council Records.)
