George Weaver is a native of New York, born in 1811. He there married Abigail Colvin, also a native of the same county and state. In 1840, with his wife and children, he drove through with teams to Kane county, Illinois, where, he arrived in September of that year. First entering a tract of forty acres, in Blackberry township, he later traded that place and located in Batavia township, where he opened up another farm, on which he resided for some years, after which he purchased his final farm. When he purchased the land it was entirely uncultivated, but with him it was but a short time before he developed a fine farm, on which he later erected good buildings, and, buying more land, had at the time of his death three hundred and seventy-seven acres. He died there in June, 1891, at the age of eighty years. His first wife died some ten years previously, and he later married again.
