Background:
There are three distinct Weedman families in the United States.
The largest group was descended from Christian Weedman, Sr., who immigrated to the United States in 1750.
Another Weedman family has Swedish roots and is descended from one of four brothers who originated in Ockelbo, Sweden. Olaf Weedman was the first of the four to arrive (in 1855) and has the largest number of descendents. Peter Weedman, Jonas Weedman and John Weedman also have descendents here. Many settled near Galesburg, Illinois.
The third Weedman family is Florida based and has German origins dating from before 1785. Philip Weedman is the progenitor of this line but it has been learned he arrived with a brother, Bernard. Bernard lived in West Virginia and work is being pursued on his line. His family has a number of variant surname spellings.
Other Weedman families are found in Australia, Canada, England, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
A new page has been added to the web site in an effort to determine where Christian Weedman, Senior (aka Christian Widmann) originated. Click on the link below to the ship Anderson passenger list.
