Thomas Wier and Elizabeth Faulkner Family

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.
