The descendants of James Brady Weir and Emma Hurst Dannehower

gather the first Sunday in August not far from the original Weir homestead in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for a Weir Reunion.

James Brady Weir’s great grandfather was Samuel Weir,

probably a son of John Weir.

The Weirs arrived in Pennsylvania in 1734 from Ulster with the Barclays, Finleys, Kelsos, Walkers, Wallaces, Barnhills, Griers & Darrochs and settled in the upper part of Warrington, Warwick & New Britain Townships.
