Introduction

The fifth child of James and Blessing Viverette was a daughter, Obedience Viverette. She married William Weaver on December 31, 1832. They had eight children that we know of, but the record of her descendents is sketchy, at best. The best record that we have is that of her son Robert Jonathan Weaver, who married Martha Elizabeth Pollard in 1869. Helped found Beulah Church of Christ
