Hugh N. Weir And
Rhoda D. Matthews |
1. HUGH N.2 WEIR (JOHN1) was born
1819 in Carroll Co, GA, and died Mar 7, 1848 in Vera Cruz, Mexico. He married
RHODA D. MATTHEWS Jan 7, 1845 in Carroll Co., GA, daughter of ABEL MATTHEWS
and NANCY COUCH. She was born Oct 1820 in Laurens Co, SC, and died Oct 21, 1905
in Marshall Co, AL. He was probably the son of John Weir and Isabel Black
Notes for HUGH N. WEIR:
Information for Hugh's parents comes from the book "The Holcombes. Nation
Builders" Copyright, U.S.A. 1947 by Lewin Dwinell McPherson and Elizabeth Weir
McPherson.
Hugh's parentage and history need a lot more research. Tradition says he was
born in 1819 and that Isaac was his twin. His military record says he was 25
when he enlisted so was born in 1822. Census records for 1830 and 1840 do not
show twin boys.
Hugh N. Weir enlisted in the war with Mexico in 1847 in Company organized at
Carrollton, Carroll Co. GA commanded by Capt. Benjamin McFarland Long of
Carrollton. He fought in campaigns in Mexico. He died there in service to his
country and is buried in Jalapa, Mexico.
Burial: Vera Cruz, Mexico
Isaac Weir, Hugh N.'s brother also fought in the Mexican War. Isaac died on
the way home and was buried at sea. Their older brother Samuel Black Weir named
a son after the brothers who died in the Mexican war (Isaac Hughey Weir).
Notes for RHODA D. MATTHEWS:
Rhoda D. (Matthews) Weir and her two sons are listed on the 1950 and 1960
census for Carroll co. Ga. living with her father Abel Matthews.
In 1900 Rhoda was living with her son George H. S. in Red Apple precinct of
Marshall Co. Alabama. Her birth date is listed as October, 1820 and 79 years
old. She is listed as a widow and had two children - both living.
Rhoda received a pension from the Mexican
War.
*Included with pension papers* George H. S. Weir wrote a letter to the

is a widower. Also living with them are his children Neils D. (9), Mary
(7), Cora (6), and Vernie (4).
Mama (Louise Weir) said that John married Eliza Jane Brownlee and she
burned up at the wash pot. We could not find an Eliza Jane
Brownlee 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.

William H. Weir was born Frbruary 25, 1872 in Carroll County,
Georgia. By 1880 the family had moved to Clebourne County, Alabama where
he is shown on the Census as 8 yrs. old. His family is living next door
to his uncle John B. Weir.
He is listed on the 1900 Census of Marshall Co Alabama living with
his parents. He is 27 years old, born in Feb. 1873 and a widower.
He is listed on the 1910 Census of Marshall Co Alabama as head of
household. He has been married less than a year and it is his 3rd
marriage. (This is probably a mistake as no one who knew him seemed to
know of a third marriage). He did marry Dora Stonicher in Dec. 1897 and
she died a few months later in May 1898. In 1910 he is living with his
wife Ida B. and stepdaughter Lillian who was 3 years old.
In 1927 or 1928 William H. Weir moved his family to Flintville,
Tennessee (Lincoln county) because schools were free. In Alabama every
child paid tuition and with a growing family it could be a problem.
He died April 25, 1940 of skin cancer. He is buried at Flintville
Cemetary, Flintville, Tennessee.
