  Notes	In 1856 John and his wife moved on the place they own in 1881, at the time of the printing of Smith's History of Livingston County, which appears a sketch of the farm then and in 1856. 1870 census John and Mary were living in Springwater. John is listed as a farmer with a real estate value of $11,000 and personal property value of $2,400. In 1872 John built a fine residence which attracted the attention of passer-byes. His farm, which was situated about three miles from Springwater and two from the Erie depot, "is now in splendid condition, and no stronger evidence of the industry and energy of Mr. Weidman, with good fences, and barns well stocked with every requisite of a first-class farm, will give. Through close application to his business, he has made for himself a magnificent home out of what was but a few years ago a wilderness." ------ History of Springwater,NY, 1887 John Weidman was born in the town of Sparta, Livingston Co., N.Y., on the 16th day of November, 1827. He was a son of Jacob Weidman, and one of a family of twelve children, all now living. He married Mary Ann Hartman, on the 24th day of March, 1849. In 1852 he bought the old Wadams farm, where Ezra Willis now lives, and moved to Springwater on to the said farm, where he lived for a few years, when he sold and bought a large farm of about three hundred and ten acres, on the south part of West Hill, which was mostly wild or unimproved land, but by faithful attention to business and much hard labor he has the farm well cleared, and has erected large and elegant buildings, where he can live and enjoy the fruits of his labors in his declining years. He and his wife are both hale and hearty, and bid fair for ninny years of happiness. They have six living children, Andrew, Joel, John, Jay, Mark, and Matie.
