John William Weatherford, Sr.

Biography

John William Weatherford was born about 1776 and was the son of Martin Weatherford.

He married Catherine and their first child was born in 1797 at Harbour Island.

Many genealogists once assumed that Susannah Malone was the second wife of this John William Weatherford [1] but since then, a family Bible was found which seem to indicate that Susannah Malone was the wife of his son, also named John.

John William Weatherford passed away in 1867.
