I would like to thank CWO2 John W. Batchelor Jr. USMC, of Jacksonville, NC
for correcting some of my mistakes and adding some information! 
Also to Penny Joplin of Texas.
Without the input of people like this, incorrect information will continue to confuse our descendants.

Thomas V. (B.?) Wier married Mary Morris and their children were:
1.  Lucas Paulden Wier
3.  Mary Lucinda Wier
4.  Joseph Thomas Wier
5.  Robert Wilson Wier
6.  Turner Shelby Wier
7.  Littleberry Williamson White Wier

According to the research of Mary E. Carr, Mary C Joplin, d/o Robert Joplin & Sally Muckleroy, married Thomas Weir February 7, 1837 in Wilson County Tenn. I am wondering if Louraney is from this Thomas Weir line? If perhaps Mary had married a Morris at some point?
