been another John, however, the children seem to match. jcw 1996. This seems to
be the accepted death and will of John who married Margaret Weaver.

The Willheit Family Burial Ground was a private family cemetery established by members of the family of Johann Michael Willheit and his wife, Anna Maria (Hengsteler) Willheit, who came to Virginia from the town of Schwaigern, located today in the district of Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was located on land owned by Johann Michael Willheit, originally located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia and fell within Orange County, Virginia when it was created from a part of Spotsylvania County in 1734. It then fell within Culpepper County upon its creation in 1749 from part of Orange County and fell within Madison County upon its creation from Culpepper County in 1792.

Many assume that the early German settlers of the Germanna settlement would have been buried at the Hebron Lutheran Church, but its cemetery was only established in the early twentieth century with the first burial taking place January 2, 1900. The Reverend William Peter Huddle wrote in his book, HISTORY OF THE HEBRON LUTHERAN CHURCH, MADISON COUNTY, VIRGINIA, FROM 1717 TO 1907, page 101, "Strange it may seem this church had no cemetery for so many years. This seeming neglect, if neglect it be, can be accounted for partly by the fact that the ground around it was long considered unfit for burial purposes."

Huddle writes elsewhere, pages 100-101: "Where are the generations now sleeping that have worshipped within its walls?" He continues (page 101), "The answer is, they rest in private burying grounds, on the hill-sides, on the mountain-sides, and in the valleys. These are to be found on almost every farm. Many rest in neglected or unknown graves. Frequently, a clump of trees, or bushes, in a field with no fence, or one decayed or falling, tells the passer-by, "Here rests the remains of those brave German pioneers and their children."

The cemetery is now defunct and has been for generations.
