 Includes NotesNotes for Waldburga Weber:
Waldburga Weber born at sea from Germany to America in 1717.
John Wilheit and wife Berga attended the Hebron Lutheran Church in Culpepper Co., Va. on Easter Sunday in 1776. They appear in the list of communicants. The names adjacent to John and Burga are George Utz, Sr. (son of the 1717 immigrant), wife Mary (Kaifer) and Henry Aylor, wife Anna Matgaret. Henry Aylor was born in 118 and the other three were thought to have been born in the 1720's. thus john Weilheit was probabl the son born 1713, of the immigrant Michael Wilheit. Usually people sat with others of the same age. Also, the grandsons of Michael Wilheit who were names John had wives whose names do not suggest the name Burga.

On the first Sunday after Easter in 1778, the name Burga Wilheit was recorded again in the church register, confirming that the name really existed. The name Burga is unusual at the Hebron Lutheran Church. Burga is of couse a nickname for Waldburga or Walburga. In the Virginia records there is on payment for a patent of land includes the family, Joseph Weber, Susanna Weber, Hans Frederick Weber, Maria Sophia Weber and Wabburie Weber. Except for the name Walbburie, the family is known in Germany. This suggests that Wabburie was born 1717 at sea or at least in transit from Germany. Wabburie is another nickname for Walburga.

So we have facts: John Weliheit married Burga (i.e. Walburga). The only Walburga in the second colony is Walburger Weber (Weaver). He was born 1712 and she was born 1717.

The Hans Frederick Weber, above was actually Hans Dietrich Weber (from the German records). Th Dieterich became Dieter, Teter or Peter. Thus Walburga Weaver was a sister to Peter Weaver, the 1717 immigrant and not a granddaughter to Peter.
