PA. bap gp: Joannes Weakland Sr. & Catharina Weakland DAG Note: This Michael Weakland is son of Zephaniah, nephew to John Weakland Sr. & Catherine Jackson Weakland. Catherine was born 27 August 1827, but was baptized at Loretto in 1830. Zephaniah & his family (sons John & Michael are the only two I found) lived in Cambria Co (1808-1819), then moved to Mahoning Twp., Indiana Co Pa, then back to Cambria Co about 1832. This Catherine Weakland later married (Nov 22, 1847) John Christopher Platt, son of John Platt Jr. & Sarah Byrne. I have a question about the parents of this Michael Weakland - will post the puzzle.
