EARLY SETTLERS OF SANGAMON COUNTY - 1876
By John Carroll Power

These biographies were submitted by a researcher and evidently abstracted from the 1876 History of Sangamon County, IL. Errors could occur, so one should always verify the correctness by obtaining copies of vitals and performing all necessary research to document what is contained herein.




WEBER, PETER S., was born in 1817, in Frederick City, Maryland. He came to Springfield in 1837, being the fifth brother, no two of whom came together. He was married in Springfield to Miss Adams. They removed to LaSalle, and his wife died soon after while on a visit to Springfield. He was married in LaSalle twice, and moved to St. Louis about 1850, and from there to New Orleans. He died in that city of yellow fever, August 25, 1853, leaving a widow and one son, GEORGE W. They soon after returned to her former home at LaSalle, Illinois.
