Weedman - Florida Roots
There is another Weedman family that has Florida.based roots.
The immigrant progenitor was Philip (Felipe) William Weedman who was born circa 1785 in Mainz, Germany to Charles and Barbara (Sanderof) Weedman.
His actual date of immigration is unknown but he married Mary Barbara Antonia Hainsman on 27 July 1804 in St. Augustine, Florida. Eight children were born to the couple with at least two sons (Philip and Paul Luciano Weedman) carrying on the Weedman name. Mary Barbara Antonia Hainsman was apparently the daughter of Philip and Maria Hainsman, according to research done by Mary Popovich. Baptism records indicate Philip Hainsman was from Bierstadt, a town very near Wiesbaden, Germany.
Philip and Paul Weedman served in the Indian Wars. Some of their sons served Florida in the Civil War.
There is no known connection with other branches of the Weedman family. However, the German connection is of interest to other Weedman lines and requires further research to determine if these are related. Could this line, with its German roots, be related to the line of Christian Weedman, Sr?
This branch of the Weedman family is fairly well documented.
