      !22. BENJAMIN5 WEAVER, (William,4 (7) Cl
      !22. BENJAMIN5 WEAVER, (William,4 (7) Clement,3 Clement,2 Clement1) was born in East
      Greenwich, R. I., June 16, 1710. The date of his death is unknown. June 8, 1756, when his son Silas
      was married the clerk recorded him as "son of Benjamin." Dec. 20, 1772, Benjamin Weaver "son of
      Benjamin deceased of East Greenwich" was married. Somewhere between these two dates the
      father died.

      He married Mary Casey, b. in Warwick Sept. 19, 1710, dau. of Adam and Mary Casey of that town.
      She was living July 10, 1764, when her father made his will. She may have been the Mary Weaver
      who lived in Scituate in 1774 and the Mary Weaver who died in Scituate July 20, 1776.

      He lived in East Greenwich until about 1740 when he removed to Warwick, becoming a freeman
      there May 3, 1743. He returned to his native town by 1746 and it is recorded that the Council, on Oct.
      29, 1748, granted him a certificate to remove with his family into North Kingstown.

      He sold the land in Scituate which was given to him by the will of his uncle, Clement Weaver, and
      also the land deeded to him by his brother William, which was a part of the estate of his father.
