Thomas Weir

According to Kaaron de Vere, "for Major Thomas Weir, there has never been any proof found so far of a son named Thomas. His only legitimate son was Alexander, any others were bastards."

From Major Weir – who was burnt at the stake in Leith in 1670 – a son Thomas, husband of Mary Robison, whose issue decamped to Ireland during the witch craze, from whom John of Kildress whose son Andrew had a daughter – Margaret Weir of Vere of Kildress – who by Archibald Thompson had a son, Archibald Weir of Vere. Archibald married Rachael Stewart and had issue., NDV

This 1625 descent of Thomas m. Mary Robison has incongruent dates and data: Thomas Weir, full age, bachelor, scutcher, of Tullycall(?) (father: William Weir, farmer) to Mary Robison, full age, spinster, of Killyman (father: James Robison, farmer) on May 5, 1855, in Second Presbyterian Church, Cookstown. Robert Robison was a witness. http://www.dankat.com/kerr/file9c.htm
