Cathi Clore Frost gave a summary of the Peter Weaver family. To this, I
would make only one additional suggestion.
Cathi did not give a wife for Matthias Weaver. I believe this person was
Elizabeth Finks. This was not an easy decision to come to for the simple
reason that in the church records ("Hebron") she acts overwhelming like
a Carpenter. The resolution of this delimna was provided by Nancy Dodge
who suggested that Mark Finks, Sr. was married twice. I can now see that
what happened was that Elizabeth Finks' mother died when Elizabeth was
an infant. This is always a problem for the father and I believe that
the Carpenters volunteered to care for Elizabeth. They, the Carpenters,
had no daughters and they were reluctant to return Elizabeth to her
father when he remarried. Elizabeth was raised as a Carpenter though she
never lost her identity as a Finks. Her father, in his will left her a
bequest, naming her as Elizabeth Weaver. At church she was closer to the
Carpenters and acted as though she were a sister of the four Carpenter
boys. This explanation accounts for her "strange" behavior.
