130. Thomas WIER
(said in some family records to have been) born in
1708 in County Antrim, Northern Ireland (these dates indicate that Thomas
could have been born as late as 1740-40. It is possible the original
handwritten record said 1728 but was misread 1708. The same early family
source which said he was born 1708 said his father James was born in 1683.
Some charts drawn by the family of Thomas Jr. in the 1860s seem to show
Thomas Sr. as the first child of James. Others seem to indicate he could
have been the youngest child. He married about 1755-60 to Elizabeth FAULKNER.
