My Genealogy Hound

BENJAMIN WEYBRIGHT, farmer; P. O. West Milton; was born in 1830, in Montgomery Co., Ohio, and is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Fetters) Weybright, who were born in Pennsylvania; they removed with their parents to the above county about 1805, in which they were married and lived till their death; his father died Nov. 11, 1865, aged 76 years 5 months and 18 days; his mother departed this life Sept. 15, 1879, aged about 82 years; they were the parents of nine children, seven of whom are living, viz., John, Samuel, Joseph, Jacob, Benjamin, Sarah (now Mrs. Puterbaugh), and Elizabeth (now Mrs. Wenger). Our subject was raised on the farm, where in early life he learned the use of agricultural implements; he is naturally inclined to mechanical pursuits, having considerable talent—nature’s gift—which enables him to construct almost anything he desires. Jan. 2, 1852, he was married to Lydia Stoltz, by whom he has had five children, viz., Elizabeth (now Mrs. Baker), John, Jacob, Sarah and David. His land, 87 acres, is in a high state of cultivation and well improved; he also owns 80 acres in Darke Co., which is improved land. He and his estimable wife have been members of the German Baptist Church for many years; both take an active part in religious matters, and a pleasure in promoting the happiness and comfort of all with whom they come in contact. Their daughter, Mrs. Baker, is also a member of the same church. David has been one of the teachers in the schools of the county, and is well qualified to discharge the duties pertaining to the profession.
