MotherMargaret McEwen (b. about 1725, d. 1779)
Pedigree Link

Family: Mary Cowan (b. 1748, d. before 1856)

DaughterEleanor Weir (b. 1756, d. 1815)
SonJames A. Weir+ (b. 1768, d. 1825)

Birth1748In Ireland.1
Death7 April 1801At age ~53 in Rockbridge Co., Virginia, British America. Robert participated in the sale of his father James' plantation in 1801 hen James died. It reads like the plantation was in Virginia.

Some have April 17, 18012,1
MiscDNA matches - good. 8/3/2024 Scott on Dessie Kimsey's DNA
15 matches on siblings.
Robert 9 matches - checked 1 both parents
Susanna - even called half, 2 checked both parents

48 matches on 3 children of James Weir b1748.
12 on Robert and 2 on Susanna. Robert is called half, Susanna full.
7/23/2024 Robert is full and Susanna is half

Scott Borgmier has 44 matches with 3 children of James Weir b 1748. 24 on siblings, called half.
MiscVarious. FS tree has James Weir (1700-1797) which makes more sense with the stories.
MiscParents - DNA. Confusion between James Weir (1748-1801) who married Mary Cowan and James Weir (1763-1820) who married Margaret Peggy Sharp. One of them was in the Revolutionary war and has LOTS of military records.

The WIkiTree entry for the James Weir son of our Hugh Weir is the other James Weir. Most because of DNA, of course I think our James Weir is the correct one. The other children appear to be correct. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Weir-457

Another one is also wrong:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Weir-685
MilitaryJames Weir is the son of Hugh Weir & Margaret Elizabeth (McEwen) Weir. He was a Revolutionary War Soldier who served with Colonel Campbell's Virginia Regiment at the Battle of Kings Mountain and at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.

MiscParents. Ancestry suggests her parents are Alexander Cowan and Mary Davidson but there are no DNA matches to confirm it, which is not a surprise how many siblings came to America?

FS tree has William James McCowan (1712-1810) and Hannah Woods (-1819) but they seem to have lived in South Carolina after immigrating to Maryland.

Another FS tree has an Alexander Cowan and Mary Davidson with a Mary Cowan born in 1733 and nothing known of her.

There is an ancestry record for a Mary Cowan born 8 May 1748 to John Cowan and Janet Berry in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland2,1

Robert Weir

M, #2654, b. 2 June 1769, d. 22 September 1843
Robert Weir and wife Sarah McCampbell settled near Georgetown, Scott Co., KY, from Rickridge Co, VA, early n the 19th century, but lost their land in Kentucky through bad title and moved to what was then known as Clark's Grant, Indiana Territory. They settled on a farm near to what is Charlestown at the present time, but "forted" for a time in what was known as "Reed's or Reid's Fort," adjoining their land and there the wives and mothers kept watch for Indians, while the husbands and fathers toiled.

Georgetown was laid out by Dr. John Hay whose wife was Nancy McCampbell, a sister of Sarah. Anna Hay the daughter became the wife of Governor Jennings, the first Governor of Indiana. She was said to have been noted for her beauty. She died young.

One grandchild remembers Robert Weir as "slight and fair, with blue eyes and regular features, gentle and patient." A nephhew, Rev. Gano Hay, remembers him as having the "softest, silky gray hair, refined features and ruddy color." He sometimes taught school after his reverses.

This large family of six sons and five daughters grew up in the midest of the hardships, deprivations and freedom of pioneer life. They were unusually fine looking, some of the children resembling the fair father and some had the keen eyes annd strong features of the mother. It seems a pity that we have not had preserved for the descendennts more of their interesting history, for the sons all developed into fine men who took a prominent place where ever they settled. They did not live to a great age, neither are there many descendents of the male line.

There was much intermarrying of the Weir, McCampbell and Tilford families, which is impossible to unravel without the complete data. These families were of the Scotch-Irish immigrators into Virginia abouut the middle of the 18th century.

Robert Weir did just a few hours after his wife, Sept. 22, 1843, and they were burried in the same grave, which is in a county graveyard about two miles east of Memphis, Clark County, Ind.

Death1779In Rockbridge County, Virginia, United States.3
MiscChildren. I am confused about the children. In the will is
"my son Abrahm Jonathan", presumably the same as "my son Abraham"
my son James (my ancestor)
my son George and Hugh
my sons John, Joseph and Samuel
my Daughters Jean Cunningham, Margret Montgomery, Mary Walker, Susanna Buchanan, Elizabeth McCutchen

So he has a son Abraham Jonathan and a son named just John?

And who is George Herbert Walker Bush descended from? There seems to be confusion, PLUS we read there were more Weirs in Virginia than just this family.

I constitute John Weir Junior and George Weir my Executors

See also the notes in the will record made by someone else.

Also read the discussion in Descendants of Hugh Wear about the varous John Weirs and confusion between them.3
