    Weaver family researcher James Lee Weaver gave me information on Thomas Weaver's family and ancestry, pointing me in November 2011 to his detailed genealogy and resource site.  Information he has compiled there from numerous sources provides the Weaver famly tree, some of which I present here.  Note that this compilation expresses uncertainty about the wife of Samuel Weaver I, the grandfather of Thomas Weaver (b 1684).

    --------------------
    Samuel Weaver I was born on 3 Aug 1600 in Cardington, Shro, England. He died in 1670 in York, Va. He married Ann Jackson or Elizabeth Bygrave about 1628 in Rushbury, Shro, England.

    WEAVER and BYGRAVE: by 1623 Samwell Weaver and Elizabeth Bygrave are both listed individually in the list of Living and Dead in Virginia , Feb. 16, 1623 as living at Martin's Hundred. The Muster of 1624 again lists them, reporting that Samwell was 20 years old and had arrived in the Bonny Bess, and that Elizabeth was 12 and had arrived in the Warwick. Martin's Hundred had been hit particularly hard in the Indian raids of March 22, 1622. The initial official report said that 77 people had been killed, although it later transpired that some women reported killed were instead being held in captivity. The assault led to the temporary abandonment of the settlement. By 1623, 24 men and women were listed living at Martin's Hundred. Because of her young age, and the fact that she is listed separately, we know that Elizabeth was an orphan. It is unclear whether she was an orphan picked up on the streets of London and shipped to Jamestowne as a servant, or whether she arrived with her parents before the raid. Samwell and Elizabeth's son William Weaver (3648) was born about 1628, when Elizabeth would have been only 16. A land grant is recorded on July 2, 1635 to Samuel Weaver and is recorded in the Land Office Patents No. 1, 1623-1643 (v.1 &2), p. 198 and p. 199 (Reel 1) It was for 650 acres and though the county was not designated, it was "lying easterly upon a creeke called Capt. John Wests Creeke (John West's Plantation is cited in lists of those killed in 1622 massacre). Samuel is recorded as dying in York County, Virginia.

    Samuel Applied for permissiom to go beyond the seas as is found in the parish records of Cardington Parish in 1620 and in 1621 or 2, he boarded a ship in London as the indentured servant of William Harwood bound for Virginia. Smuel Weaver is listed in William Harwood's household in the Martin's Hundred muster dated 2/16/1623. He arrived on the BonyBess. Martin's Hundred muster dated 2/4/1624 shows Samuel Weaver listed as living with the widow Jackson and daughter who was named Ann and was the wife of John Jackson, one of the first freeholders in Martin's Hundred. John Jackson and another daughter died shortly after their arrival in Virginia
