Henry Weber," son of Heiner Weber and brother to old Christian Weber, was born in Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1728. He was married to a Miss Hershey,† sister to his brother Christian's wife. They resided in Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on the old Weber homestead. To them were born several children, namely: III Henry, III Daniel, and three daughters whose names were not received. We shall here follow the descendants of III Henry Weber who was born in 1757 and was married to Veronica Hershey.* They resided on the old Weber homestead near Blue Ball, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. To them was born a family of seven children, namely: IV Benjamin, IV Abraham, IV David, IV Henry, IV Franklin, IV Daniel, and IV John. Of the named family the three sons, David, Franklin, and John, never lived in Canada. Their descendants are to be found in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, while the remaining four sons, namely, Benjamin, Abraham, Henry, and Daniel, moved to Canada during the beginning of the present century and settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, where their numerous descendants are to be found. We shall now give their descendants in their proper order."

Notes:

Henry Weber," generally known by his descendants as "Heiner," a native of Switzerland, was born about the year 1690. His father, Hannes" Weber, was a strict adherent of the Protestant faith. After the decease of his father, in 1821, Henry, with his brothers, Christian and John, emigrated to America. It is not known where they arrived but in all probability at Philadelphia as we find they settled in Earl Township, Lancaster County. It is not definitely known where Christian and John settled. One report in the hands of the writer states that they left many heirs. Of Henry there are numerous descendants. He was married to Anna Hershi. † They resided near Blue Ball. Their family consisted of several children. The names of three of the sons have been received, namely: II Christian, II George, and Henry."
