NOTES FOR MATILDA FROM PHIPPS WEBSITE
The following record refers to the estate of Asa and Rebecca Weaver of Ashe County, North Carolina.
Mary S. Phipps was appointed an administrator, and a bond was filed with security given by Fielden Phipps and R.B. Phipps.
Asa Weaver is said to have lived from 1823 to 1892.
Fielden Phipps (1848-1918)
was a son of Greenberry Phipps (1815-1889) of Ashe County, who married Matilda Weaver (apparently 1817-about 1864).
Fielden married another Weaver, that being Mary Selena Weaver (1854-1937).

Unconfirmed secondary sources identify Asa Weaver as a son of Edward Weaver (1791-1868) who married Tamzon Ballou, known as Tamsy.
Asa is said to have been a brother of the Matilda Weaver who married Greenberry Phipps.
One especially interesting source is the Owen Meredith Ballou webpage.
An amnesty letter by Asa Weaver of Ashe County to President Andrew Johnson is housed in the Berea College collection.
