2. ABSALOM
WEESE (JACOB JR.5 WEES, JACOB SR.4,
FRANTZ3 WEISS, HANSS JACOB2, FRANTZ1)
was born May 15, 1801 in Randolph Co., (W) VA, and died February
21, 1880 in Randolph Co., (W) VA. He married MARGARET
EUNICE MARSTILLER October 09, 1823 in Randolph

MARSTILLER. She was born September 16, 1806 in
Randolph Co.,VA, and died 1887 in Randolph Co.,VA.
Notes for
ABSALOM WEESE:
There is another story of Absalom Weese once having Union
soldiers in one part of the house and Confederates in
another, the family shuffling back and forth to keep them
separated. Also, it is said that several doctors and their
families took refuge in the Weese home during a battle,
and stories have been handed down about the disposition
of the soldiers, they going door to door demanding food,
women for their dances, or anything else they felt they
needed. The Weese family survived the war intact, and
in the 1870 Federal Census Absalom Weese's occupation
is listed as a wheelwright. His son Elias, the former
war prisoner, was assaulted by Charles Hill of Elliott's
Ridge in 1873. For this offense, Hill was fined $1.00.
In 1876, the Reverend Simeon Davis married his second
wife, Hannah Shifflett, at the home of Absalom Weese.
Absalom Weese died in February of 1880. His widow went
to Elliott's Ridge and lived with her daughter and son-in-law,
Christena and George W. Hill. In May of 1886, Eunice Weese
brought a lawsuit against her two sons, George and William
Weese. In her complaint she contended that she had been
denied her dower interest in several tracts of land conveyed
by Absalom Weese in her lifetime. These tracts
were about 21/2 miles from Beverly on Dodson Run, and
one, conveyed by Absalom to George Weese, was the one
on which Absalom had resided. She contended that she had
asked her sons for her dower, but they refused her request.
This suit, like an earlier one in the family, appears
to have been settled out of court. It is not known if
Eunice Weese lived the rest of her life with the Hills.
She, like her husband and several of her children, is
buried in the small Weese cemetery just east of the present
day location of Daniels Body Shop on Dodson Run Road.
"My father
was George Washington Hill. And Mom's full name was Christena
Margaret Bosworth Weese. Her father was Absalom Weese,
my grandfather. He was a farmer and he lived about two
miles up from Beverly on Dodson Creek (Dodson Run). His
children was Uncle George Weese, Uncle Bill Weese, Uncle
Elam Weese, and Elias and Hoy. That's the boys. And there
was Mary Ellen, and Maggie, and Liddie (Lydia), and Aunt
Celie (Cecelia), and one little girl that had never been
named. They called her Sissie. She died when she was just
little. And there was Mom (Christena M.B. Weese). And
Sarah. I've heard Mom talk about a Jacob Weese, but I
don't know who he was.
"I was
at Absalom Weese's house once, after he was dead. One
of the grandchildren was living there. Uncle George Weese
got his farm from Absalom, and Uncle Bill got his farm
from Absalom. Park got his farm from Absalom. The Weese
Cemetery is on Absalom's farm. Grandma Weese's people
(Eunice Marstiller Weese's) came from Germany. Mom had
a little bit of a trunk about that long (14 inches) and
about that deep ( 7 inches). It was solid wood. Her people
brought it from Germany. She had a Bible that I guess
was from there. It was before they put the 'S' in the
alphabet. It was written in English but 'F' stood for
'S '. I had an awful time readin' that thing. Grandma
Weese died when Effie (her sister) Was just little. Effie
can just remember her dying.
"Mom remembered a big battle (Civil War) at Beverly.
They could hear the guns and cannons. The soldiers would
get use of someone's house and have dances and they would
ask the girls to come. You almost had to go 'cause if
they got insulted it was hard to tell what they might
do. You had to keep them in a good humor. She said (her
mother) one time they had the Rebels in one room of their
house and the Union in the kitchen he family kept them
apart. They was through there and come in and demanded
something to eat. The people in Beverly had left their
homes when they had that battle. The doctors and their
wives come out there (to Absalom Weese's) to stay.
Dr. Bosworth and Dr.
Tolbert. There was another child born to Absalom and Eunice
named "Sissie", she died as a baby. Absalom
had a step father, Peter Buckey, who married Sarah March
1, 1836 following the death of Jacob jr."

they had any more children or not.
vi. MARGARET
WEESE, b. April 20, 1838, Randolph Co., (W) VA; d.
June 20, 1864, Randolph Co., (W) VA.
Notes for
MARGARET WEESE: Margaret A. "Maggie" Weese,
another daughter, was courted by a Union Captain during
a war. Family legend states that his name was "Captain
Ott" or Captain Otto. The army service records
at the National Archives in Washington D.C., shed a
good deal of light on just who this individual might
have been. It seems that one William Otto was enrolled
on April 5, 1861, in Company A of the 2nd Virginia Infantry.
In August of the same year, his record states, he was
an orderly sergeant at Beverly, Virginia (West Virginia),
and was at that time commissioned a Captain. He was
still at Beverly in September of 1862. Weese family
legend states that this "Captain Otto" was
infatuated with Maggie Weese, and wanted to marry her.
But she, for some reason, was convinced that she was
dying (which she did on the 20th of June, in 1864) and
she refused "Captain Otto's" advances. The
war record of William Otto would seem to fit into this
tale, for on the 12th of March, in 1862, from the summit
of Cheat Mountain, he wrote to Lt. Col. Robert Moran,
commander of the regiment:
"In
consequence of my present position having become unpleasant
beyond my powers of endurance, l hereby tender my immediate
and unconditional resignation of the commission I now
hold as Captain...and ask that you accept the same."
Brigadier
General Milroy recommended acceptance of the resignation
and Otto was given an honorable discharge.
vii. HOY
M WEESE, b. Bet. 1840 - 1843; d. September 08, 1928,
Randolph Co., (W) VA; m. HARRIET
S. FLINT, March 27, 1880, Randolph Co.,WV1;
b. December 15, 1855, Randolph Co.,VA; d. June 14, 1928.
Notes for
HOY M WEESE: also have birth at 1843 "Faded ages"
Two tenths of a mile past the site of the Collett place,
is the driveway to the home of Rev. Robert Lowther,
of the Hart Chapel Church and Academy. To the right,
just past that, can be seen the old house that was once
occupied by the family of Hoy Weese. This section of
the road commands a spectacular view of the mountains
and valleys to the west, a view that would have changed
little since the turn of the century, if one could ignore
the communities and highway that have come into the
valley relatively recently. Hoy Weese was raised on
his father's farm on Dodson Run, and his wife Harriet
"Nettie" Weese was the actual owner of the
property on the ridge. She had been married and divorced
before her marriage to Weese, and her former husband,
Zachariah Taylor, went west. She was a daughter of George
Flint, who was the first postmaster at Glady. She married
Hoy Weese in 1880, and in 1885 they lived on Glady Fork
where Weese owned no property, but had one cow, three
calves, four sheep, three beds, and was seven or eight
miles from the nearest school. This came up in a suit
in court over custody of Clinton Taylor, a child of
Harriet Weese by her first marriage. In 1887 she purchased
the Elliott's Ridge place from Marshall Chenoweth, getting
20 acres for $50.00. In 1893 she purchased 11 1/2 more
for $100.00. Hoy and Nettie Weese had several children
of their own, among these being Asa, Elam B., Cynthia,
and Louida. Aries Hill later occupied the Hoy Weese
place and Weese returned to Glady Fork. Uncle Hoy Weese
married Nettie Flint. They lived just up the road from
us (George Hill's, Elliott's Ridge). They had Acie,
and Elam, two boys, and two girls, Cynthia and Louida,
Lodie they called her.

b. 1837.
Notes for
LYDIA A WEESE:

Notes for
HARRY W MARTIN: Another daughter of Absalom Weese, it
is said, married a soldier, this one being Harry W.
Martin. Both of these women lived out their lives with
these men.
"Aunt
Liddie Weese married Harry Martin, and they lived in
Chicago. He worked in a factory. He made good money.
He gave all the family watches as gifts. He was a soldier
stationed here in the Civil War. I don't know what side
he was on. While he was here he got acquainted with
Aunt Liddie Weese and she married him. She had a boy,
Clifford Martin, was about five years old when Harry
got back from the war. They had three boys, Clifford,
Cale, and Elwood. They didn't have any girls."
ix. CECILIA

March 17, 1919; m. WILLIAM H
BONHAM, March 27, 1894; b. 1840, Charleston,VA.
Notes for
CECILIA WEESE:
"Aunt Celie Weese married Bill Bonham. He was a
soldier in the Civil War too. Aunt Celie met him while
he was here. After they got married they lived around
here for awhile, and then moved to Charleston (111 Randolph
Street). They had Caleb and some other boys. Their girls
was Lou and Stella and Lena. They was in nursin' school.
They wanted me to come down there and go to school with
them, but Mom wouldn't let me. If I had I probably never
would have married.
Notes for
WILLIAM H BONHAM:
William H. Bonham. He was a native of the Charleston
area who had entered the service at Aultz, Virginia,
in July of 1861, being mustered in at Charleston in

Family legend also states that Elias Weese was captured
by Union troops and taken to Camp Chase at Columbus,
Ohio, as a prisoner.
"Uncle
Elias Weese married Helen Griffith. She was always jolly
and full of life. She was a sister of my Grandmother
Hill and Charlie's (her husband's) Grandmother Hill.
They had Bruce and Orville and Bernard and Dora. Uncle
Elias didn't own anyplace. He lived around. One time
he lived in the valley between Elkins and Beverly. During
the Civil War he was working on his farm up on the hill
from Beverly. They (soldiers) saw him and thought he
was a spy that carried information back and forth, and
they arrested him. They took him to Camp Chase until
after the war. While he was there he caught a disease
and almost died. He died at home. Farmed on Kings Run
and carpenter."

Notes for
LEONARD F WEESE: On the left side of the road, at about
one and six tenths miles past the site of George Hill's
family home, is where once was the home of the Leonard
Weese family. Weese was a brother-in-law of Paul Louk,
he being married to Louk's sister, Nellie. It is in
this area that the ghost of Paul Louk is reputed to
roam. Also in this area, but across the road, the homes
of French Kittle and Levi McQuain once stood. McQuain
was married to Mary, a daughter of Hiram Hill. On the
left side of the road in this area, if one is facing
south, is a large pond. A little below it is an old
chimney, the remains of the cabin of Pete Weese. Below
there the remains of a road can be seen to the left,
if one looks closely, and it leads up the hill to the
east, to the Weese Cemetery. This burial ground is all
but forgotten now, but in it are the graves of Leonard
Weese and his wife; Charlie Weese and wife Amelia; Howard
F. Weese; Eddie Blanche Teter, daughter of Leonard Weese;
Emma E.Weese, wife of Mart Weese; another Howard Weese,
who died aged 2 days; Richard Lee Weese, died also in
infancy; Hoy Weese, his wife Nettie Weese, and their
son Asa Weese. On September 16, 1879, a post office
called Files Creek was opened in the area, with Johnson
Pritt as postmaster. It was discontinued on October
31, 1881. Pritt was also surveyor of the highway on
the Beverly and Circleville Road on June 30, 1883, when
he was excused by the county for some illness. He was
replaced by Leonard Weese. Weese was allowed $75.00
out of the county levy for work on the road in March
of 1886. Len Weese lived across the creek (Hill Run)
from the road on the left. His house burned down. I
went there the day it burned and ate sauerkraut out
of a barrel that had burned off. I helped carry him
to his grave. One of the hardest things I ever did.
We went almost in a straight line from his house to
the grave. His house was this side of the divide. We
carried him to the grave by hand. Most of Mart Weese's
children went west with their grandmother.
"Levi
McQuain lived where French Kittle lived last. Past the
small house of Pete Weese. (Below the pond). Turn right.
When he (McQuain) moved to the Mount Vernon area he
sold that place to French Kittle. He (Kittle) was married
to Len Weese's daughter. When their youngest child was
born, French's wife died. Len Weese raised her. Grace
is her name. She is living (July 26, 1984)."
