Son of Benjamin Weatherby and Edith Smith.

Cincinnati Enquirer, 12 Dec 1866, page 2:
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE - One by one the early settlers of this city disppear from among us; one by one the links which connect the city of today with the village of half a century since, are broken. The last victim to the remorseless scythe of the destroyer is Mr. James S. Weatherby, who expired on Monday, at his residence on West Fourth street, near Mill, at the advanced age of seventy-six, having been a resident of Cincinnati fifty-one years. He migrated to this county in 1815, and has, since that period, been engaged in harness-making, having learned the trade in Philadelphia. At the time of his death he had a store on Walnut street, under the Gibson House, and, although very feeble for some months, he has constantly attended to business until within a few days. Mr. Weatherby was a man highly respected by all who knew him, and his loss, though not unexpected, will be deeply felt by the community, of which he has been a valuable member.
