Frederick Bynum Weaver's careers show the changes North Carolinians made between the Civil War and World War II. His father was a farmer and he labored as a child. The 1900 and 1910 federal censuses show that Bynum became a harness maker, and kept busy making and repairing harnesses. Harness makers made other things out of leather such as caps, belts, small cases for storing papers and large trunks for traveling. Early plows and combines were pulled by teams of horses, but self-propelled tractors were improving in reliability, productivity and cost efficiency. By the 1920s, tractors with gasoline-powered internal combustion engines had become the norm. The 1920 census shows Bynum as a miller at a flooring mill. Advances in medicine had increased the percentage of children reaching adulthood, so the population was expanding and needed homes.

Bynum married Lucinda Angeline "Lucy" Early (b. 2 Apr 1856 Rutherford County, North Carolina) on 1 Oct 1882 in Rutherford County. They raised a small family together before her death on 15 April 1921 in Township 10 (Knob Creek), Cleveland County. Their two surviving children were John Griffin Weaver (married Mary E Upton) and Bertha Pearl Weaver (married James Grady Blanton).

He was living in Knob Creek Township, Cleveland County, North Carolina, in December 1942 when his painful final illness took him to Shelby Hospital for four days of palliative care.
