Joseph Weare will probably forever be known by the sobriquet of "the Indian-Killer." Just what part of the traditions of his righteous vengeance and prowess as exemplified upon the savage destroyers of his relatives is true, and what is fictitious, will probably be accurately ascertained; but one has only to read some of these stories as printed on pp. 15 and 16, of "Old Times," and in that early collection of Indian tales and adventures called "Forest and Shore," purposely made to be thrilling at whatever disregard of historical facts, and then to compare them with such facts as the records show, as printed on pp. 152 and 153, "old Times," to see how succeeding generations amplify and exaggerate whatever comes to them in traditional form.

A reference to the extracts from his private journal, as given in the first mentioned article, enables one to evolve from the mists of unwritten history the conclusion that he was a God-fearing man, who by making these enemies of civilization the objects of his personal attention whenever they crossed his path, aided in securing to his community freedom from such savage inroads.

Moved to Nantucket.

An early proprietor of Newbury, Massachusetts where his name is of frequent occurrence in the town records early as 1638, and for twenty years afterwards. He removed, probably as early as 1659, to Nantucket, in which he was interested as a purchaser and died there.

He lived in Newbury a few years after his marriage and his first two children were born there. In 1662 he removed to Hampton, N.H., having had a conveyance of land there, 31 Oct. 1661, from his father-in-law, Richard Swayne, who describes himself therein as "late of Hampton," (he had removed with his two younger sons to Nantucket). He became one of the most influential men, not only in that town but throughout the Province. He went twice to England, with the remonstrances of his fellow-townsmen and all those in the Province who were opposed to Cranfield and Mason, and who were oppressed by them, and acted as their agent to prosecute the appeals against Mason's judgments, before the King in Council.

Besides minor offices that he held, he was a Councillor of the Government of New Hampshire from 1692 to January, 1698-9, and again from 31 July 1699 to 24 Dec. 1715, when he voluntarily resigned, "in consideration of his age and remote living." He was Justice of the Peace of the Supreme Court in 1694-95. He was a Justice of the Peace, occasionally, till 1699, and after that, Justice of the Quorum till his retirement in 1715.

Cooper from Boston. Died on the pinke "Society", Thomas Edwards, master. Administered in Suffolk court to brother Peter 9 July 1677.

He was a man of mark and his retirement from the bench was, no doubt, connected with the revival of Mason's proprietary claim, which his father had so long and actively opposed. He was for eight years a Justice of the Peace, and for four years a Justice of the Superior Court. He was largely interested in purchases of land at the Eastward, buying of Sir William Pepperell, at Biddeford and at North Yarmouth, of Gedney. He is termed "millwright," in the Pepperell deed, and he built a mill at North Yarmouth as early as 1719, by one account, or 1715 by another.

His father was probably another Peter of Charfield. Was here approximately 1638 when he and Thomas Brooks, alias Basil Parker, bought John Wilcox's land at Great Works. In early years he traveled to Winnipesaukee and the Merrimack for furs, settled at York by 1643, and on the homestead on Cape Neddick River by 1650. Favoring Mass., he was often a storm center and is now considered unqualified for some of his public positions, but York evidently found him useful, as he was chosen selectman 18 times 1653-1683. Trial jury first time 1640, grand jury 1645; York commisioner (in place of selectman) 1657, 1660, 1664; town clerk; Representative 1660, 1665, 1669; Recorder; County Treasurer Imprisoned by the Royalists in 1668, and had been in prison for some reason in 1675 when George Norton sued the prison keeper for letting him out. In 1685, as the executor, he went to England to prove the will of his brother Thomas of Charfield. In 1688 had Cape Neddick ferry license.

In 1730 administration on Peter Weare's estate was given to heirs of son, Elias, heirs of older sons having declined, Elias' heirs to pay the others' shares, each £41, 6s. 7p.

He was not the father Esther and Nathaniel Weare, as both Cotton, Farmer and Thornton (NEHGR 6:49 and 13:272) have stated, as has been abundantly and satisfactorily shown by the more careful investigations of the Hons. S.D. Bell and Joseph Dow. Indeed the proof that the Massachusetts genealogists were wrong, exists upon the records themselves, for Nathaniel Weare, being then of Hampton, NH, in his disposition (NEHGR 6:50) calls Benjamin Swett his brother-in-law; so that either their wives were sisters, or, one of these men must have married a sister of the other; but the records show that "Nathaniel Weare and Elizabeth Swayne was married Dec'r 3, 1656." Swett did marry a Weare and she must have been a sister of the above Nathaniel, in order to establish the relationship he deposed to as above; and of course her father was his father too. What was this father's name? The record of her marriage gives the solution, viz: "Benjamin Swett was married to Hester, daughter of Nathaniel Weare, 1 Nov 1647." (Newbury VR 2:473)

Carpenter, Boston, approximately 29 in Jan. 1679-80.

Called "Colonel" in his latter days, was an important man in the Province, although apparently not always on the popular side. He was a large dealer in real estate, both here (N.H.) and in Maine. He kept the principal inn outside of Portsmouth. He succeeded his father as a Councilor of the Province. He was also for four years a Justice of the Superior Court.

He rebuilt for the third time in 1720 the saw-mill which he received from his father.

York 1724 when he and sisters q.c. to Joseph their father's, but not their mother's, estate. Living 1748.

In 1728 they q.c. to her brother Elias as heirs of her father or grrandfather and of her brothers Jeremiah and John.

In mother's will, not father's. Likely the English girl captured and taken to Canada.

Had Cape Neddick land from parents in 1716, then bought brother Thomas' share before 24 Jul 1720.

Millwright, had York grant 1713-14 and built the first mill in Damariscotta for Mr. Vaughan.

He bought a farm and settled in Berwick Me., Lived at Kittery, Me., Moved to Wells, Me. and bought a farm in 1750 in the section called Tatnic. On April 13, 1767 he deeded farm and property to son John for the support of himself and wife Deborah during their lives. (York Deeds.)

An Edmund Webber was a teacher at Cat Mousam,Wells ME. Possibly a different Edmund.

Had a farm in Waterborough, ME. which he left to son Samuel.

Was a soldier in the French and Indian War, and was once a captive. Also was in the Rev. War. This from Annette (Durgin) Morgan of P.O. Box 174, Pac. Pal. CA 90272.

This from Dave Rudge of Pittsburgh, PA: In 1781 Edmund Webber Jr. bought out his brother John's interest in a 206 acre parcel of land in Tatnic (Wells) ME which was a part of an ancient land grant to Nathaniel Rust of Ipswich, MA, and known locally as "Avery's Back". Edmund purchased the interests of other Rust heirs although not all of these transactions are found/recorded. The 206 acre parcel is shown in a division of real estate in the next generation of Webbers and can be placed "on the face of the earth" to locate exactly where this property was. Unfortunately the road to the Webber homestead lies off a now
abandoned wood's road, but the old Tatnic Hill Road can be identified on the 1872 cadastral map of Wells. See district #8 on the South Berwick line; locate James Warren; the road running north west from that junction is the Tatnic Hill Road. Along the southerly side of the road are the homesites of Walter Allen, Joseph Johnson and "Mrs" Sargent. The Mrs Sargent marker is the approximate site of the Webber homestead.

After the marriage of Edwin Webber and Eliza A. Bent they moved to Aroostook County where their children were born. They lived there happily and united till "free love" craze, then raging on the Kennebec River, reached that county; he became an easy victim to this
fearful malady. He failed to recover in season to preserve the bonds of his family onnection.

He left the State, and wife and children were forced to provide their sustenance. They removed to Lewiston where Mrs. Webber ran a boarding house a few years and got a bill of divorce, remarried a Mr. Dickens. (Copied from "The History of Peru".)

Died yound.

According to the 1900 Census of Bridgewater,Maine, George was born in NY, which I doubt. It lists him as a day laborer, and married 20 years.

His obituary says he was married to Mame Rideout but Gordon Webber said he wasn't married to her. Informant was Winslow Webber. (They also listed him as George I. Webber and his father as Edward Webber.)

Ivory Webber, with six children, came from Byron in the early fifties and lived in the house and lot adjoining the Meeting House lot on the North.

He worked blacksmithing in the Joseph Ricker shop till after his wife died, Apr 21, 1859. (Copied from the History of Peru)

Oxford County Registry of Deeds records him as living in Hartford, Maine in Mar 1866 when he sold his last piece of property.
