About Jacob B. Weaver
Child of Jacob Weber but all of Jacob's children were given the name "Weaver". It is unknown if Jacob actually changed his own name during his life time. About 1744 the Mennonite farmer Jacob married Magdalena Groff Baer in Willow, Lancaster Co., PA. They had 5 children they named: Barbara, Magdalena, Jacob & John (twins) and Peter Weaver.
Magdalena was the daughter of the Rev. John Martin Baer (b.1686, d.1758) and Anna Elizabeth Groff (b.1691, d.1757). She was born during 1729 in Conestoga, Lancaster Co., PA and died in Lancaster County on 11 May 1793.

After much research, I believe that these people were buried in the Weaver farm graveyard which was south of Rockvale Road and West of Strasburg Pike.
In the 1930's all marked graves were moved to Longenecker's Mennonite, but they are not among them. Therefore, I strongly suspect that their remains rest in their original location. I cannot find a single early transcription of that graveyard.

Early History Traced Through Weaverland Cemetery
Eighteen miles east of Lancaster, two miles northeast of Blue Ball, in East Earl Township, Lancaster County. Pa., near the hard road leading from Blue Ball to Terre Hill, a short distance northwest from the Weaverland meeting houses, is a small grave yard, enclosed with a five rail post fence, which was kept and protected by such fencing nearly two hundred years by the descendants of the several families whose ancestors had planned to bury their dead in this sacred spot; but to the average resident of the community and to the stranger it was a spot of neglect, because it was often overgrown with weeds before the weary relatives thought of mowing and cleaning it, which was done about twice a year.
Within this small, enclosure the dust of the earth has mingled with the mortal remains of the first white settlers of the beautiful vale known and remembered as "Weber's Thal," "Weaver's Dale," now Weaverland, since the organization of the first Mennonite congregation, by that name in 1730.
Jacob Weber: In 1747, two years after the death of his brother Henry, the older brother, Jacob, also the father of a large family, who were older than Henry's family, died in the home founded by him, also on the east banks of Blue Ball Run, at or about the same place where the farm home of Isaac H. Nolt is maintained. His home farm contained over 500 acres, which is now divided into eleven separate farms, and at several places being parts of other farms. The stone meeting house, where the Weaverland Conference Mennonites worship, and the large graveyard, containing over two thousand graves, are also parts of this original farm. One half of the village of Blue Ball also occupies a strip of this plantation.
His will, made a short time before his death, was also set aside and the family made a division of the real estate to suit themselves, by a mutual agreement, and a Benjamin Bowman administered on the personal property, filing his account (which remains in the Lancaster Court House records) in 1762. Bowman, was no doubt a brother, or at least a near relative to the widow, as she was, Anna Bauman, a daughter of Wendel Bauman, who belonged to the first Swiss settlement on the Pequea. She, like the widow of his brother, Henry, also survived her husband many years. It is safe to believe that tradition is correct in the saying that these brothers were interred in this enclosure, close together.
There is a limestone in the southeastern part of the enclosure with the inscription:
A W EBER 1777
This I believe to be the resting place of Anna Bauman Weber, widow of Jacob Weber, the first settler. A limestone by its side has the faintly visible inscription "Weber," 1780, another B. W. and another M. W. with dates not plainly preserved.
All the stones in this corner have the appearance of having been brought from the same quarry of soft limestone; they also indicate that they were carved by the same hand, pointing to the information that they were of the same family relationship, or close of kin.
To me it is quite logical that they and the Shirk family were closely connected, and the fact that Anna Weber Shirk, who died in 1796, at the age of 45 years, who was a granddaughter of Jacob Weber and Anna Bauman Weber, was buried in the same row, when she was the first one to die out of the family of her husband, John Shirk, gives force to the relief that the family is that of Jacob Weber, one of the pioneers.
There is a sandstone in the first row with the inscription:
