Michael G. Weymer
The Weymers (formerly written Weinmar) came from Wittenburg, Germany, to America in 1764. They located in New York,and remained there during the Revolutionary War. George Weymer was a son of this first settler in the country. He was born in New York in 1767. He married Mary Strock, and raised a family of five children. Of this family only two came to Shelby County. Michael G. Weymer was born in New York in 1811. In 1836 he married Mary Barnes, and in 1838 came to Shelby County. His father, George Weymer, came with him, and died here in 1851. Mr. W. raised a family of six children, viz., James, Mary A., Peter, Harriet, Caroline, and John. He died in 1877. His widow still survives him, and is living with her son John.
James Weymer, the eldest of these six children, was born in New Jersey in 1838, and was brought by his parents the same year to this township, where he has lived since that time. In 1869 he married Jennie Johnston. By this union they have three children, viz., Horace, Anna D., and Warren.
