Memo | Memo: [The following are from the Cooks Hangout website, http://cookshangout.com/eddings/eddings.html, from which I got a lot of the Eddings descendant information - TEC May 2010] Notes for JOHN EDDINGS: We first found John Eddings in Warren Co., Tennessee in 1820 and followed his record through that Co. in 1830 into Marion Co., Illinois in 1840, an attempted migration to the Indian Territory in 1841, which met in disaster when in Ripley Co., Missouri when his wife Betsy and his son John Jr., sometimes called Jackson, died. He then returned to Marion Co., Illinois where he died, and is said to have been buried in the Cope Graveyard on Section 21 Iuka Township of that Co.. His wife Betsy was of course interred in Ripley Co., Missouri, at the crossing of the Eleven Point River, as was his son John Jr. Many of John's grandchildren and several of his great grandchildren applied for citizenship in the Cherokee Nation of Indians in 1906 but were denied their ancestral rights because of their failure to register in either the 1851 or 1882 Cherokee census (or rolls). - Research of Arthur Sturgill Historian, Blackburn, Eddings, Sturgill and Collateral Lines 235 N. 700 East Street, Provo, Utah 84601 Note: Arthur Sturgill died circa 1980. (Notes from: Lou Propes) Bob Eddings, debob105@aol.com 5/29/2008 Aquah Lih: LaShawda, the Aquah Lih you mention was born 1-2 years before Elizabeth Weaver was born (1784), that rules her out as her mother. About 1900-1906 the Cherokees had to fill out several documnents for the US Govt. Joe Weaver filled out some and on one he said his mother was Tooley. On another he said she was Tooney. (NOTE: These are the same documents that family historian Arthur Sturgill read and he was the first person to link Tooley as Dave Weaver's wife.). Like many people on census reports who list different birth years each census, Joe listed his birth year in the range 1830-1840. I have arbitrarily used 1834 as his birth year. After reviewing hundreds of marriages, I have determined the girls usually married when they were 17-19 years old and their first child was born 1-2 years after that marriage. THat would make the birth year of Joe's mother (Tooley) as about 1815-16. She would have been Dave Weaver's daughter -in-law, not his wife, who would have been born in the 1760's. Joe just called his father 'Weaver". I suspect his father was Joseph Weaver, Dave's youngest son, born circa 1810. On one document Joe said his father died 1842 and mother (Tooley) in 1856. These documents are listed on Bill Cook's Eddings website, under section "Files and Documents".4 |

Witness | 9 December 1909 | Memo:6 |
Memo | 5 December 2018 | Memo: Was Francis Elizabeth a daughter of David Weaver? On 5 Dec 2018 a Glenda Miller Pritchard made the following post to a Facebook Group called 'Descendants of John Eddings and Elizabeth Weaver'. The following is a copy of that post: Several of the Eddings family applied to receive funds the federal government paid to relocated Cherokees. All the claims were though their relationship to Elizabeth Eddings via Dave Weaver. All of these applications were rejected. The reason they were rejected is documented in the Guion Miller Roll report and Records of Eastern Cherokee Ancestry in the U.S. Court of Claims 1906-1910. The follow explanation is taken from a book called "Cherokee by Blood" which takes its information from the report. 45. JAMES A. BLACKBURN and 3 children, Moneta, Cal. Rejected. These applicants allege that they are descendants of the Dave Weaver who was enrolled in 1835. They claim through Elizabeth Weaver, daughter of Dave, who married John Eddings, and who had the folowing children: Frances Blackburn nee Eddings, Ivan Eddings, Richard D. Eddings and Jesse Eddings. The applicants herein are descendants of these children. There is a conflicting evidence as to where Elizabeth Eddings was residing in 1835. There is some evidence to the effect that she died in that year. Levi R. Eddings, Elizabeth's grandson (Appl. #2370), states that she died in Marion Co., Ill in 1835 (see Exhibit 2). Andrew E. Blackburn (Appl. #6007), another grandson, states that she died in Mo. in 1841 (see Exhibit 4). Josiah Eddings (Appl. #1671), also a grandson of Elizabeth, states that his grandmother was living in Tenn. in 1835 (see Exhibit 6). There is a "Dav" Weaver on the roll of 1835, Cherokee Co., Ga., Page 38, enrolled with 6 others, making a family of 7, all full-bloods, and it is stated on that roll that there were in that family, 4 males under 18 years of age, 2 over 18, and 1 female under 16. Elizabeth Eddings, as shown by applications and other evidence, was a grandmother in 1835, having several grandchildren who were born in about 1830 and one in 1828, Ivan Eddings. There is no evidence in this case as to whether Dave Weaver had any other children than Elizabeth Eddings, and there is no evidence tending to prove that the Dave Weaver on the roll of 1835 is the ancestor of applicants herein, except their statements to that effect. Elizabeth Eddings or her husband should have been on the roll of 1835 under the name of Eddings, if she were living in the Cherokee domain or were recognized as a member of the tribe at that time. Most of her children were also heads of families in 1835, and should also have been enrolled at that time under their own names. Neither the names of any of the ancestors nor the names of any of the applicants herein, with the exception of that of Dave Weaver, appear on the rolls of 1835, 1851, or 1882. The necessary supposition is, therefore, that if Elizabeth Eddings was an Eastern Cherokee and was ever a recognized member of the tribe, she had left the tribe prior to 1835, and since that time neither she nor any of her descendants have been connected with or recognized as members of the tribe. If she and her children had not left the Cherokee tribe but had been recognized members thereof, they would certainly have been enrolled on some of the Eastern Cherokee rolls. As above shown, the Dave Weaver on the roll of 1835 was enrolled with a family of 6, 4 being males under 18 years of age and 1 female under 16. Elizabeth Eddings, who as claimed by applicants herein, was the daughter of Dave Weaver, and was, as above shown, a grandmother in 1835 and had a grandchild 7 years old at that time, so that it is extremely improbable that Dave Weaver would have had several children under 18 years of age and one who was a grandmother at that same time. Even conceding that applicants herein are the descendants of the Dave Weaver whose name appears on the roll of 1835, they would not be entitled, as Elizabeth Eddings and her children as above shown were old enough to have been enrolled on the 1835 roll in their own names as heads of families, and if Elizabeth had left the tribe they would be classed as Old Settlers, if Cherokees at all, and consideration of the premises, therefore, the applications of all person claiming thru Dave Weaver and his daughter, Elizabeth are hereby rejected. EXCEPTION CASE. Rejected. Dave Weaver Group. Total number of exceptions filed in this group - 189. Original recommendation renewed. |

Census | 1835 | Census: David (Dave) Weaver appeared in the census in 1835 in Cherokee, Georgia, United StatesB. also known as the 1835 Census of Cherokee Indians (Henderson Roll), or the Trail of Tears Roll. The Henderson Roll or Rolls of 1835 is a listing of 16,000 Cherokees living in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, & North Carolina to be removed to Oklahoma, per Treaty New Echota. It was taken in the months leading up to the conclusion of the Treaty of New Echota in December 1835. It lists more than 900 heads of household, with statistical information about each family, including number of people by blood percentage, number of slaves, and farm capacity. The census is organized by state, county, and watercourse, providing the general area where each family lived. The entry was found on Page 6 of the Georgia list. The household was made up of 4 males under 18; 2 females over 18; 0 females under 16; and 1 slave over 16.3 |
Memo | 9 December 1909 | Memo: Indian Chief: According to an article in 'The Republican' from Salem, IL on Dec 9, 1909 - "David Weaver, chief of the Eastern Cherokees"1 |
Memo | Memo: Who was Dave Weaver? Much has been writen about Dave Weaver, some true and some maybe not. It would appear from the 1835 Census that he was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Some have referred to him as a "Chief", but no indian documents have been found that would verify that. When his property was evaluated in 1836 by the US Gov't, in preparation for the Trail of Tears move, Dave's property had 1 and one half acres and was valued at $19. He was about the poorest Cherokee on the list. Bob Eddings, a descendant of Dave Weaver who has done much research on him, states "I have never seen an Indian name for Dave Weaver, Elizabeth Weaver, or any of Daves several sons. I have been trying to find out when and how he and daughter Elizabeth got their Christian names of Weaver."3 |
