"Brothers John, Frederick, and Martin Weimer emigrated from Dortmund, Germany in 1760. They landed in Baltimore, Maryland, and later settled in Pennsylvania. All three were Revolutionary War soldiers. The Weimer farm at the "Weimer Flats" along Route 281 is owned by descendents of John, who was born in 1740 and died 1-24-1831. He served as a corporal in Captain John Reiley's Co., Third Pennsylvania Continental Line in 1778-79 which was at Valley Forge with George Washington. After the Revolution, John, his wife Susanna (born 5-7-1741, died 1-27-1831) and their family settled in Somerset County where he was granted 336 acres of bounty land in Milford Township. He received title to his land on Feb. 26, 1788 and named it Prospect Hill.".

_______________
Revolt that wasn't
According to other researchers John's Company marched on Phildelphia, in protest, over not being paid in over a year. Along the way they were intercepted by a British detachment that offered them twice the pay if they would come over to the British side. The Company refused.

- John Weimer, a native of Germany, was one of the first settlers of Milford (PA), and located on a farm in the northeastern part of the township. Years later the farm passed into the possession of John Weimer's son Henry, who sold it to Peter Putman, whose son Petyer now owns it. Samuel, another son of John Weimer, was born in this township about 1779, and died in 1828. He married Catharine Wisebaugh, and had seven children who reached mature years:
Henry S.,
Joseph,
Christian,
David,
Susanna (Schrock),
Catharine (Sutter) and
Margaret (Snyder).
Jeremiah, who died in Cambria County in 1881, was the father of Jeremiah Weimer, who has resided on the old George Phillippi farm since 1853. Jere, Jr., was born in Brother's Valley, but came to Milford when young.
