Notes:

Johann Anton is the name by which he is usually identified but the Anton is a legendary name with an unknown origin. On all the documents related to his estate etc. he is simply "Hans Weber." Johann and Hans, of course, are both German forms of the English name John.

Johann "John" is the son of Heinrich Weber and Elsbeth (Ruggin) Weber. His parents lived their whole lives in Switzerland and Johann was born there.

In 1670 he lived in Muhlekram; in 1678 age 20, lived at Hamm; in 1682 lived in Hamm; in 1689 lived with Georg and Barbara in Neustadt.

John, a Mennonite and Weaver, married his wife Maria Margaretha Herr in 1680 in Baretswill, Switzerland.

The family is listed in "Martyrs Mirror" as landing in Amsterdam, Holland from the Palatinate in 1693. Shortly after that the moved on to Freidrichstadt in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Then in 1710 the family immigrated to America.

The family moved for the last time in 1717 to Weaverland, Lancaster Co., PA.

Between 1683 and 1700 they had 4 boys and 2 girls named: John, Jacob, Henry, George, Maria and Catharine Weber.

The three sons of Hans Johann "John" Anton Weber, were some of the first settlers in the Weaverland Valley but their father never lived there. He lived and died in the Pequa Valley, on the other side of the hill which divides the Pequea and Weaverland valleys. The Weber "Weizenthal" Pioneer Home is located at 1835 Pioneer Road, Lancanster Co., PA

John may be buried at Weizenthal [the name of the Weber plantation] as the first in a long line of Weavers buried in the old Weaver family burying ground there. The Weaver family stopped using this burial ground about 1850.

No longer marked, the graveyard is located in a field in West Lampeter Township. The 21 marked graves were moved to Longenecker's Reformed Mennonite cemetery in the 1930s. The other 40-odd unmarked graves remain in the field and Johann Anton is undoubteldy among them. (William Woys Weaver: Mennonite Research Journal, January, 1973, pp.10-11)
