  ISAAC WEIERBACH retired farmer, P.O. Applebachsville, was 
born in Bucks county, March 13, 1805.  Isaac Weierbach, his 
grandfather, married Ann Frey, by whom he had six children. 
Jacob was the oldest of these.  He married Elizabeth 
Akerman, who bore him one child. Mrs. Weierbach died, and he 
married Mary Amey, to whom six children were born, Isaac 
being the second son.  The mother of these children died, 
and Mr. Weierbach married for his third wife Rebecca 
Woolslicker, who bore him eleven children.  Isaac Weierbach 
remained with his father until 1825, when he married Mary, 
daughter of Michael Derr. They have had eleven children, one 
of whom died in infancy.  Those who lived to maturity are:  
Absalom, Jacob, Monroe, Sano, Annie (Mrs. Strawn); deceased,

The mother of these children died in 1870.  Mr. Weierbach

of which are in a state of cultivation.  Mr. Weierbach is a 
member of the German Reformed church, and a democrat
