The small field stones in front of the memorial were the original grave stones marked with the year of death and initials.
George used the German spelling of Weber as seen on the smaller engraving but his descendants later changed to the English spelling of Weaver. George is one of the pioneers for whom the Weaverland Valley is named.
George recorded the births of his children in German script in his Family Bible. He obviously had a wife (whose name in deeds is Barbara) but he does not record her name in the Bible. That she was a Guth/Good is based on tradition rather than proven fact.
The English translation of the Family Bible record is:
1. Today, on the 13th of January, under the sign of the fish, Anno 1727, a daughter by the name of Magdalena Weberin is born to me, Georg Weber

George obtained 350 acres from the Penns in 1726. Portions were divided off through the years but the homestead farm (eventually reduced to 38 acres) was passed down from father to son through the generations. It was owned successively by George, Henry, Benjamin, Moses S., and Benjamin F Weaver, Martha (sister of Benjamin F) wife of Samuel G. Zimmerman, Harry W. Zimmerman, and Harry W. Zimmerman Jr. who died in 2020.
