Jacob Weaver
Jacob Weaver, deceased, was born April 3, 1802, in Virginia, and when a boy, with his parents, George and Elizabeth Weaver, he emigrated to Clark County, Ohio, where they remained until about 1835, at which time they came to Pike Township, Madison County, and settled on the farm where his widow now resides. On November 7, 1837, he married Miss Mary Nagely, born September 29, 1809. To them were born seven children, viz.: Sarah, born September 3, 1838; died August, 1840; Jane, born Novmeber 20, 1842; John, born April 3, 1844; Henry, born April 20, 1847; Aaron, born April 9, 1850; Joseph, born April 20, 1854; and one child died in infancy. The parents of Mrs. Weaver were John and Elizabeth Nagely, who emigrated from Virginia to Clark County, Ohio, when she was but six weeks old. They located in Clark County about eighteen years, when they rented in Madison County. They were the parents of six children, of whom four are now living — Mary, Ichabod, Aaron and Robert. Mrs. Nagely died in April, 1850. Her husband, prior to her decease, had gone to California, from which time all trace of him was lost. Mr. Weaver had served as Trustee and Justice of the Peace in Pike Township, and was a member of the F. & A. M. After leading a life of usefulness, he quietly passed away, respected by all who knew him, on June 24, 1861. He left to his family a large estate. His widow, who has seen nearly three-quarters of a century, survives her husband, and resides on the homestead with her son Aaron, an industious young man, of good standing in his community.
