They had ten children: Elizabeth, Charlotte, Hannah Ann, George DeSette, Chloe Ann, William, Amarilla, Henrietta, Oliver Fraser, and Emily Jane. Rosebush documents claim that the family left Canada around 1837-38 in order for George and sons to avoid conscription in the MacKenzie Rebellion. Married daughters Charlotte and Hannah Ann remained behind, and the seven living children, along with Weighty's elderly parents, came to New York State. George died later on a visit to Canada in 1851 and is buried somewhere in Ontario.
