!NOTES:
SQ pg 3350: "Adam Weimer, son of Johannes Weimer, died sometime between
March 7, 1825, when he made his will, and May 21 1825, when his wil lwas
probated. Named in the will were his wife, Susannah, and their six sons:
Joseph, Abraham, Jacob, John, James and Solomon. Susannah (Sparks) Weimer is
said to have died on May 14, 1825. This date is apparently based upon a
tombstone on the Weimer (now Von Stein) farm in Bedford County, on which the
inscription reads as follows: S(js--backwards S)W was Born 1752 D Ma y14 1825."
If this stone does mark Susannah's grave, then Adam's death probabl yoccurred
shortly before the date on which she died. Adam and Susannah (Sparks) Weimer
were the parrents of six children: (here names them)."

!NOTES:
SQ pg 3348: "Abraham Weimer was a son of Johannes and Wientje (Sym onsor
Simons) Weimer, thus a brother of Adam Weimer who married Susannah Sparks.
Johannes Weimer was born in 1696 in Germany and migrated to the colony of New
Jersey where he lived for a while in Hunterdon County. He bought land in
Frederick County, Maryland, in 1761 and died in Bedford County, Virginia, in
1780. The surname of Weimer was also spelled Wemmer, Wemer, Wimmer ,and
sometimes Winner."
An examination of the book PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY, The Early Settlement of
Frederick County, Maryland 1721-1743 by Grace L. Tracey and John P. Dern (1987)
at page 191 reveals that a Bernard Weymer may have been the first German to
have settled in present day Frederick County. While his survey was not dated
until later, the first was recorded on May 10, 1738. The name was also spelled
Weimer, and Weymore. "The earliest date of a land survey for a Germa nin
present-day Frederick County was dated May 10, 1738. Called "Jacob sFortune"
the tract's 242 acres were surveyed for Jacob Mathias Minsher. As Jacob
Matthias Manser, he had arrived at Philadelphia on October 17, 1732 along with
Bernard Weymer and johann Peter Apfel. They had come on the ship John and
William, the last ship to arrive with immigrants before the 1732 winter season
closed the port. Both Manser and Weymer settled first on the west side of the
Susquehanna River along with Thomas Cresap, Michael Reisner and the others who
were claiming the land as Marylanders....Further, it is apparent tha teven
though Jacob Mathias Minsher's survey of "Jacob's Fortune" bore the earliest
survey date for a German, others must have come with him at about th esame
time: His survey had as its beginning point the southwest corner of Bernard
Wamar's (sic) land, thereby indicating that Weymer was also there then, at
least as a squater."
And at page 191: "Bernard Weymer (later Weymore) likewise arrive d at
Philadelphia on October 17, 1732, along with his wife, Barbara, and son
Johannes. He, too, lived initially west of the Susquehanna in Cresap's
neighborhood and was mentioned in the deposition of October 18, 173 5by Jacob
Lochman....Like Manser, Bernard Weymore (sic) had land surveyed in the German
Monocacy area. The servey was dated [if not actually made!] on August 9, 1738,
the day after Manser had his "Jacob's Fortune" patented. Weymer's survey was
for 211 acres and was called "Addition," a strange name for a parce lwhich was
supposedly Weymore's first. The explanation lies in the difference between
dates of actual settlement and dates of the surveys themselves. Clearly
Weymore had arrived in Maryland earlier than 1738....we have the suggestion
that regardless of the survey dates, Weymer actually settled there first!!"
This Bernard Weimer was married and the father of a son in 1732 . Henamed
his son Johannes and, in all liklihood, was a brother of this Johannes Weimer,
born in 1696. Since Johannes purchased land in Frederick County, referred to
in the above reference as the Monocacy Area, in 1761, he apparently joined his
brother who had been there almost thirty years.
