About 1744 Magdalena married the Mennonite farmer Jacob B. Weaver in Willow, Lancaster Co., PA. They had 5 children they named: Barbara, Magdalena, Jacob & John (twins) and Peter Weaver.

Magdalena, a Mennonite, was the daughter of the Rev. John Martin Baer (b.1686, d.1758) and Anna Elizabeth Groff (b.1691, d.1757).

Her parents were born and then married in Germany about 1713. They immigrated to Pennsylvania about 1717. Magdalena's siblings were: Anna Barbara, Martin, John, Jacob, Elizabeth, Christian, Maria Anna and Fronica Baer

After much research, I believe that these people were buried in the Weaver farm graveyard which was south of Rockvale Road and West of Strasburg Pike.

In the 1930's all marked graves were moved to Longenecker's Mennonite, but they are not among them. Therefore, I strongly suspect that their remains rest in their original location. I cannot find a single early transcription of that graveyard.
