Note: CITATION: HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY OHIO by Judge Evan P. MIDDLETON, Volume I, 1917 B. F. BOWEN & Company, Inc. Indianapolis, Indiana, page 158: "Practically all the first settlers of Mad River twonship came from either Virginia or Kentucky and thos who came from the later state had in most instances come originally from Virginia. There does not seem to be have been any other settlers in the township than Owen before 1801. In that year Charles Rector and his brother-in-law, Christopher Weaver located at the mouth of Storms creek, in what is now Clark county. Both those men came here from Kentucky. They were good citizens, industrious, and honest and were types of the best class of settlers. Conway Rector, the son of Charles Rector, later lived in section 12 in the southern part of Mad River townshi. Wiliam Ross, another prominent settler in the immediate vicinity with Rector and Weaver, was a man of unusual physical prowess, and was noted for his feats of strength." CITATION(2): Copied from Pages 74 and 75 of EARLY SETTLERS OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS -- VOLUME 1 - by Pat Stickley and June Kiser Feb. 2000, Champaign County Genealogical Society, PO Box 682, Urbana OH 43078-0682 (Note: Certain paragraph not pertaining to families of interest to this compiler were eliminated). Another family which settled in the Terre Haute vicinity were the Weavers. They became important factors in the early history of the township. The first poll book in 1811 listed four by that name, William, Christopher, Philip and Elijah. William Weaver married Mary Kiger in 1783 and this couple became the parents of fourteen children. In the same neighborhood where the Weavers were located was Henry Storms who was the first to settle along the creek that bears his name. !BIRTH: About 1753, if Christopher, named for his father, was the first born son of Anna Elizabeth. Place and date from brother William's RW pension application: "he has a record of his age, in his Family Bible, as taken from the Family Record of his father. - born A.D. 1759, December 24th near Philadelphia in Penn- sylvania". Note: A letter dated Aug. 20, 1925 from Office of the Quartermaster General, War Department, Washington, D.C. signed by Winfield Scott, Commissioner stated in part: "I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 17770 it appears that William Weaver was born December 24, 1759 about five miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." The present day map of Philadelphia County shows that the Germantown neighborhood fits that description. !MARRIAGE(1): MRIN20: To Mary RECTOR-140, date and place unknown, but first child, William was born at Sleepy Creek 11 May 1786, so marriage probably took place in Virginia. It could have been in a locality called "Rectortown" Hampshire County VA (now WVA - there is no Rectortown in Hampshire County in 1990 although there is one in Fauquier County VA.). Hampshire County was adjacent to Berkeley County where Christopher WEAVER lived at that time. Christopher WEAVER's brother-in-law, William ROSS-611 mar- ried Winifred RECTOR-599 in 1779 and Conway RECTOR-710 married Nancy PARKER-1761 abt 1790 both in Hampshire County. Their brother Charles RECTOR-598 who was referred to in the History of Champaign County, Ohio as Christopher WEAVER's brother-in-law also, is shown to have resided there, too, as shown in the "1782 THE FIRST CENSUS OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY - List of Michl. CRESAP 22 RECTOR, Daniel 9 22 RECTOR, Charles 2" It also indicates that the Daniel RECTOR (sr) family lived in Hampshire County although they must have left by 1790 to appear in that year's Allegheny County, Pennsylvania census. !MARRIAGE(2): MRIN21: To Rebecca ROUSE-144 6 Feb 1810 Champaign Ohio by James Montgomery JP #127 - See also Urbana Library Microfilm A-13 and REF(2). Her maiden name was Lee; the Rouse name was that of her first husband, Wilden Rouse. !DEATH and BURIAL: Death after 7 OCT.1835 (date of will) and before 11 OCT 1835, the date witnesses came to court to attest the will. Burial - BAKER FARM - MAD RIVER 1 mi W. of Valley Road - 1 mi. s. of Route 55 (this has not been proven, but an early genealogist claimed to have seen the grave) On Feb. 28, 2000, Bob and Flossie Hulsizer (1909 W Washington St. Springfield, Ohio 45506-1156) discovered their gravemarkers "on a hill beside a very old apple tree approzimately 200 yards south of the red barn at 3625 Storms Creek Road, Terre Haute, Oh". "When spring comes, visit Eubank's home on Stony Creek Road in order to see headstones in a farm cemetery. Might be WEAVER. M.A.S." For burial, see SKARDON PAPERS - Under the William WEAVER name on file at the Clark County Historical Society, 818 North Fountain Ave., POB 2157 Springfield OH 45501 ph 324-0657 (Virginia Weygandt). !RESIDENCES: Philadelphia Co.
