Hilah J. Webster1,2,3,4

b. 19 April 1830, d. 14 January 1904
Birth*19 April 1830Hilah J. Webster was born on 19 April 1830 in Ohio.5,1 
Name-SpellingsHer name was spelled or transcribed as "Hilah" in some of the records we reviewed, and as "Hitah" in some others, and it is believed that her name was Hilah and not Hitah.1,3,6 
Marriage*She married John H. Willis, son of Isaac Willis and Anna Macy.3 
Census US 1850*13 September 1850Hilah and her new husband John H. Willis appeared on the 1850 census taken on 13 September 1850 in Clinton, La Porte County, Indiana. John was 27 years of age, and was a farmer with real estate valued at $1200. Hilah was 19. They had no children yet, and lived alone. The household enumerated immediately after theirs was that of the family of Eliza Jane Webster who, in two years, would become the wife of John's brother Harvey Willis.3 
Relationship Note*We also wonder about the relationship between Hilah J. Webster and Eliza J. Webster, the wives of the Willis brothers, John and Harvey. Was it another case of brothers marrying sisters or cousins? Or a coincidence that their wives' surnames were both Webster? We have found that coincidences aren't usually the answer.7 
Census US 1870*15 June 1870Hilah and John H. Willis were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 15 June 1870 in Spring Valley, Dallas County, Iowa. John was 46 years of age and worked in real estate.

John O. Webster

Research Notes1806John O. Webster, whose occupation was "retailer, commerce(s)" was listed in the 1806 Boston City Directory. His address was on Ship Street, the same street where John Bolton, the Marine Mariner, lived in 1807. If he was the same Webster that John Bolton was in business with, he could be a clue, and possibly a brother or brother-in-law of Zilpah's. We need to research this John O. Webster to see what we can learn.1

His address was on Ship Street which was also the mariner John Bolton's street in 1807. If our Ancestor John Bolton worked as a mariner in Boston, and if John O.

b. December 1877, d. 7 May 1901
Relationship9th great-grandson of John Heaton
ChartsDescendants of John Heaton of Lincolnshire, including the Immigrant Nathaniel
Father*Zachary T. Weir1 b. 1850, d. 19 Mar 1898
Mother*Virginia Heaton1 b. Sep 1856, d. 28 Oct 1901
Birth*December 1877Charles W. Weir was born in December 1877 in New York.1 
(Son) Census US 188016 June 1880Charles was enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 16 June 1880 in the household of his parents at 115 College Street, Buffalo, Erie County, New York. He was 2 years old.1 
(Son) Census US 19005 June 1900Charles was enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 5 June 1900 in the household of his widowed mother at 706 East 143rd Street, Bronx, New York City, Bronx County, New York. He was single, 22 years of age, able to read, write and to speak English, and had no occupation reported.3 
Death*7 May 1901He died from pulmonary tuberculosis at age 23, on 7 May 1901, at the home he shared with his mother at 706 East 143rd Street, Mott Haven, Bronx, New York City, Bronx County, New York,4,2 
Burial* and was buried in Section: 1 Plot: 4 Grave: 7, of Evergreen Cemetery, Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey.4 
(Younger son) Research Notes Sadly, during the 15 years between 1886 and 1901, all five members of the Zachary Taylor and Virginia M. (Heaton) Weir family passed away. Their daughter, Clara Louise, who was just 10 years old, died in 1886. Husband and father, Zachary, and son, Wallace, both died in 1898, Zachary in March and Wallace, who had a wife and child, in October. Charles died in May of 1901 and wife and mother Virginia, by then a widow and childless, died in October of 1901. Little Clara Louise was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York City, and all the other members of the family, who passed away after Clara, were buried together in the same Section and Plot# of Evergreen Cemetery in Morristown, New Jersey. Death Certificate information, which included a cause of death, was found for Wallace, Charles, and their mother, Virginia, so we know that both Wallace and Charles died from different variations of tuberculosis, and that their mother died from a gun-shot wound to her chest. We haven't learned the causes of the deaths of Clara Louise or her father, Zachary, although we wonder if, they too, had tuberculosis.2
