  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY: Per Belinda K Pierce "I have found new information in regards to the true father of Rev. John as being Major Weatherford in a book called "The Virginia Baptist Register" It was published by the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, book number 8. The book was written in 1969. It includes information and documentation.
      In 1773, John was imprisoned in a Chesterfield jail for preaching the Gospel without having a license in the state of Va. He was released through the efforts of Patrick Henry who was his neighbor and an attorney at the time. The Weatherford Memorial Baptist Church in Richmond, Va. is named after him.
      A Mr. James B. Taylor had stated that there were twelve daughters and three sons of the union, which might suggest that the other seven daughters may not have grown to maturity.
      Pittsylvania Co., Va. Records Deed 45, pg. 304, made Dec 18, 1841, Recorded on Dec 20, 1841:
      Jepe Woodson, Executor of John Weatherford, Dec'd. where John Weatherford left John Woodson and Charles A. Weatherford Executors of his Will. Exhibited to the County Court on the March term in 1833.
      Executor was required to sell a certain tract of land after the death of Martha Weatherford and she having also departed this life advertised land to be sold on Nov 27, 1841. 250 Acres for $840.00. It was sold to William Womack, adjoining Samuel Fitzgerald, James M. Davis, Robert Easley and another containing 250 acres. "
