Notes for JOHN HENRY WEIR:

Mama (Louise Weir) said that John H. married Eliza Jane Brownlee and that she burned up at the wash pot. We have not been able to find Eliza Jane but we did find the following:

First Baptist Church Boaz, Marshall County, AL
Willie R. Weir May 3, 1875 Feb 9, 1899 Wife of J. H. Weir

It certainly looks like this Willie R.Weir was John H.'s first wife. She died at about the right time. And born at about the right time. They were married about 1889 as the first child was born in 1890.

John is living with his parents in Marshall Co Alabama in the 1900 census of that county. He is 30 years old being born in October 1869. He is a widower. Also living with them are his children Neils D. (9), Mary (7), Cora (6), and Vernie (4).
