  I am guessing that there is another generation in here. William Weller's father was a David Weller but the David Weller (1726-1795) died before William was born in 1799 so there may be a son David in there who was William's father. Hope to find out more about this but am going to add William Weller to my database this way for now. (Dec 11 2015, Dan Buchanan)
