Christian Weatherman was born about 1746 and is believed to be the Immigrant to America. Although there has been three other Weathermans identified in the 1790 New York census, all current research points back to Christian. Christian is believed to be of German decent from Wurtemburg, Stuttard County, Germany. There is not a lot of information about his early years and he has not been found on a ship passenger list. Spelling variations include Wetterman, Wetherman, Weitherman, and Weathermon. There has been some discussion that the original spelling is Vetterman, but this was strongly disputed by Vetterman researchers. Apparently Christian first lived in Pennsylvania, but settled in Surry County, North Carolina. He amassed a large orchard farm and lived there until his death in 1802. In his will, he split his farm between his wife, and children and shortly afterward branches of the family started migrating to different areas west. His descendants fought on both sides during the Civil War, are responsible for the naming of Weatherman Mountain (Jucca's Bald) in North Carolina, Weatherman Pass in Montana, and the Weatherman School in Southern Missouri.
