After George Weber's death in 1772, his Bible was passed to his youngest son Henrich. He recorded the births of his children in the Bible in German handwriting. The English translation is as follows (numbers added):
1. Today, on the 28th of March, under the sign of the scales, Anno 1763, a son by the name of Jacob Weber is born to me, Heinrich Weber.
2. Today, on the 24th of April, under the sign of the twins, Anno 1765, a son by the name of Heinrich Weber is born to me, Heinrich Weber.
3. Today, on the 21st of October, under the sign of the twins, Anno 1766, a son by the name of Christian Weber is born to me, Heinrich Weber.
4. Today, on the 28th of August, under the sign of the archer, Anno 1770, a son by the name of Benjamin Weber is born to me, Heinrich Weber. [Note* This child was born and died the same day and the name was reused with the next child.]
5. Today on the 22nd of May, under the sign of the man, Anno 1772, a son by the name of Benjamin Weber is born to me, Heinrich Weber.
6. Today, on the 4th of March, under the sign of the virgin, Anno 1776, a daughter by the name of Maria Weberin is born to me, Heinrich Weber.
7. Today, on the 28th of January, under the sign of the water bearer, Anno 1778, a daughter by the name of Elizabeth Weberin is born to me, Heinrich Weber
8. Today, on the 7th of January, under the sign of the twins, Anno 1781, a daughter by the name of Anna Weberin is born to me, Heinrich Weber.
Heinrich (Henry) lived on the farm of his father, the immigrant George Weber, a short distance north of the Weaverland Mennonite Church.
Henry is on the 1775 Earl Township List of Non-Associators and Non-Subscribers during the Revolutionary War. (Peter Force Collection, Library of Congress, Box 14 Series 9; microfilm 101, frame 597). He was not a captain in the Revolutionary War as some sources claim.
His firstborn son, Jacob, was deceased before 1787 as he is not mentioned in Henry's will written Sept. 5, 1787 (Lancaster County will E-442).
