The original plantation as surveyed for him in 1726, after he had applied for it in 1721, containing three hundred and sixty-five acres (365 A.) together with the usual allowance for roads, etc., which when resurveyed and divided into many smaller farms, was found to contain a little over four hundred acres (400 A.). This entire acreage, which was owned and occupied by Henry Weber, the first settler here, and his wife, Maudlin Kendig, with the exception of one field containing about twelve acres without buildings, are today (1933 owned and occupied by some lineal descendant of them or their issue, belonging somewhere into the sixth or seventh generation from them, as will be shown by the following pages.

Joseph M. Weaver, of the sixth generation, son of Henry B. Weaver, and Mary Musser, owns and occupies the site of the first farm buildings and the land bordering on the historic grave yard, his present farm buildings being a little east from the original building site as chosen by the pioneer. This part of the old plantation was never out of the direct lineage, excepting for a period of fifteen years, when it was managed by Elizabeth Flickinger Horst, while she held it under her widow's rights as relict of John W. Horst.

Enos Weaver, of the seventh generation, son of Joseph M. Weaver owns and occupies that part of the original plantation bordering on the Conestoga. This home was for a time owned and occupied by Jonas Weaver, a member of the Jacob Weber lineage. At another time it was out of the family name, when it was owned by Martin M. Zimmerman, but he belonged to the original lineage through his great-great-grandfather, Joseph Weber.

Henry M. Weaver, of the seventh generation, son of Frank M. Weaver, and grandson of Henry B. Weaver, owns and occupies the homestead built by Heine Weber in the year 1864, he being the fourth Henry to be in possession and occupancy of this home; his wife, being in the seventh generation in the lineage of the George Weber family. This farm is about the same acreage and the original buildings remain as they were when the farm was divided in 1817, when this section was allotted to Francis Weaver, the great-grandfather of the present owner. This part of the original plantation also extends to the north side of the Conestoga, which shows that the pioneer had some object in view when he chose his boundary along the creek, which was called vacant land at the time of the survey, but later owned by the Shirk families.

Christian M. Zimmerman: Owns and occupies that part of the original plantation which was prepared and built for Christian Weber, and Magdalena Rutt, his wife. Zimmerman is of the seventh generation in the Weber family, through Joseph Weber, his great-great-grandfather, who bought this farm seat from this father in 1791, when it contained one hundred acres of land.

Henry M. Martin, whose wife, Fanny W. Burkholder, traces to her being in the sixth generation through her grandfather, Isaac Weaver, whose father, Peter Weber, lived on this farm seat, having bought it from his father, Christian Weber, in 1791. This part of the farm was out of the lineage of Henry Weber for some years, when Samuel W. Martin, a grandson of Samuel Weaver, of Cedar Run, of the George Weber lineage owned it. This farm seat is now occupied by a daughter of Mrs. Henry M. Martin, of the seventh generation in this lineage, Mrs. George Zimmerman.

Harry M. Weaver, son of Francis B., Jr., and grandson of Francis, Sr., of the sixth generation, and his son,

Chester H. Weaver, of the seventh generation now own and occupy that part of the original farm which was first set apart from the old farm seat in 1817, after the death of Henry, the third, and after four of his sons had moved to Canada, when it was allotted to David Weaver, another son and a brother of the Canadian brothers, who retained it during his lifetime, rearing a large family here. At his death it became the property of his youngest son, David B. Weaver, who sold it in 880, to his cousin, Francis B. Weaver when he with a large family of children moved to Harvey County, Kansas.

Elam N. Burkholder: This farm long the home of Levi W. Weaver, son of Bishop George Weaver, was largely carved from the farms of Joseph and Peter Weber, many years ago, Levi W. Weaver being the sixth and Elam N. Burkholder, of the seventh generation in this line age.

Earl Union School was also carved from this original plantation.

Anna Weaver Burkhart, of the sixth generation of her own family name in the Henry Weber line, by her father, Francis B. Weaver, and of the seventh generation in the same lineage by her marriage to John H. Weaver, deceased, and her present husband, Amos W. Burkhart, of the sixth generation in the George Weaver line, by his mother, Esther Weaver, daughter of Abraham Weaver, of Cumberland County, reside first after crossing the old Paxton Road, or now known as Route 5.

Clayton W. Weaver, of the eighth generation in the Henry Weber line of descent, residing in the ancestral home of his great-grandfather, Bishop George Weaver, and his great-grandfather, Isaac Weaver, resides on the last farm seat westward on this old plantation, the farm being owned by Aaron Z. Zimmerman, passing to him last spring, and another in the line of descent in the eighth generation in the same lineage through his great-grandmother Anna Weber, wife of John Martin, Spring.
