We have been able to trace our Deweese lineage back, with utter certainty, to David and Rhoda Chandler Deweese, and with slightly less evidence to Samuel and Rachel White Deweese. There are many other Deweese family researchers that are actively researching the shadowy hinterlands of the distant past, all the way back to the 14th century in Holland and we will leave that primarily to them.
In these pages we have focused on the descendant families of David and Rhoda Chandler Deweese. Several cousins have collaborated here, adding clues, photos, and document searches.
