    From the Seneca County, Adams Township, Ohio history

    Joseph Weiker, farmer. P.O. Greenspring, was born in Union co. Penn, in 1807, and is the son of Jacob and Mary (Deal) Weiker, who came to this county in 1834 where they both died several years later. Our subject also came to this county about six years after. He was married in his native county to Nancy Hawkin, a native of Virginia, daughter of George and Hannah (Long) Hawkin. To Mr and Mrs Weiker have been born eleven children. All the boys vote the Democratic ticket, which is a source of great satisfaction to their father. His sons-in-law also vote the same ticket. Mr Weiker has more than forty grandchildren and several great grandchildren. On coming to this county he purchased land of Asa Crokett, one of the first pioneers of this county, long since gone to his final resting place. Mr Weiker suffered many of the hardships of the early days in this county, and cleared and improved many acres with his own hands. He has now 140 acres of land, after having divided liberally with his sons and daughters, also assisting them in many ways.
