Our Webers decend from Johann Heinrich and Elizabeth (nee Filbert) of Berks County. He arrived in this Country in 1749 and was a Captain in the Revolutionary War, who was celebrated in family reunions as late as one hundred years past his death in 1815. Both families include soldiers of the Revolution and later conflicts.
