I don't know where Joseph fits into the picture -- his name is spelled Wier or Weir in all of the records I have for him -- the only connection with the Wiers family I can find is quite nebulous -- Joseph worked as a store keeper for Hannah's first husband, John McCrery -- in 1801 McCrery was witness to a marriage consent made by John Snodgrass -- Snodgrass' wife was Mary Holstein -- the Holsteins were related to the Caldwells who were related to the Wiers Source: http://genforum.genealogy.com/weir/messages/2573.html
