All data from Burke and Schweyer. George Schweyer, the secondsurviving son of Johann Schweyer and Margaretha Moritz, was bornOctober 7, 1840 in Zuzzendorf in Alsace, France. He was not yet 14years of age when he and the rest of his family arrived in RainhamTownship.
As a young man. George worked as a farmhand for FriedrichWesterman. Friedrich died March 16, 1863 and George married his widowMargaretha Westerman (nee Walters). Margaretha, the daughter ofLeonhard Walters and Maria Pfaender, was born December 16, 1844 inHausen in Wurttemburg, Germany. At the time of her husband's deathMargaretha was left with two small children to raise, John HenryWesterman and Johanna Louise Westerman.
George and Margaretha married on July 19, 1864 in Rainham andcontinued to live on and operate the farm that had originally belongedto Friedrich Westerman. As well as raising Margaretha's two childrenfrom her previous marriage, the couple were blessed with 10 morechildren of their own.
The family remained on the farm until their second son JamesEdward got married in 1907, at which time they moved to a second farmalso located in Rainham. James Edward, more commonly called Ed, tookover the first farm at this point. In their later years when Georgeand Margaretha got too old to manage on their own, Ed and his familymoved in with them to help care for them and handed over the firstfarm to Ed's son Roy, who married and continued to run the farm until1989. Another of Ed's sons, Manford, eventually took over operationsof the second farm and lived there until 1987.
We have had relatively good success in tracing most of thisfamily line due to the fact that many of George and Margaretha'spresent-day descendants have remained in the area.
George departed this world in 1917 and Margaretha passed away in1918. Both were faithful Lutherans and are buried at Trinity LutheranCemetery in Fisherville, ON. Many of their descendants have beentraced and recorded in the following pages.
