They farmed there for only a few years. By 1850 they were living in Camillus Township, Onondaga County (not far from Syracuse).

53. George³ Rema (Peter², Johannes¹) was born April 30, 1805 at Schuyler, New York. He married his first cousin, Mary Rima, daughter of Peter=s brother Jacob. The confusing part of this is that all of Peter's sons used the name Rima.

Lyman's father, Jacob John Oderkirk, who was born March 1, 1772, in Hoosick, and died 1853 in Boylston, married Catherine Wygant (she was born 1775 in Hoosick and died 1861 in Boylston). Jacob Oderkirk's father was Isaac Ouderkerk, born October 8, 1749 in Albany and died February 6, 1837 in Hoosick.

In 1850 Philanda was living at Ellisburgh, NY, not far from her brothers and sisters in Oswego County. After 1850 the Ouderkirks left that area and settled at Van Buren Township, Onondago County, New York. They remained there for 15 years. About 1870 they made one more move, this time to Hillsdale County, Michigan. They settled in a farming area called Cambria Township. It was here that Lyman died October 25, 1895 at the age of 81. Philanda died January 5, 1902 at the age of 85. They are buried in Old Cambria Cemetery.

Delaney and Peter lived at Frankfort in 1850 and later made the move to Seneca Falls where Delaney's father lived (they probably moved about 1870). Peter sold his farm at a considerable profit. Sometime in 1876 he bought a farm in Waterloo Township and a home on Center Street in Waterloo village.

The 1900 Census shows Peter and Delaney Weaver as having been married for 57 years. He died soon after on March 11, 1901 at the age of 81. She returned to Frankfort to live with her son, Simon, in her old age. She died July 7, 1910 at the age of 89. Both are buried in Seneca Falls.

101. Mary L.⁴ Rema (Frederick³, Peter², Johannes¹) was born about December 13, 1826 at Schuyler, New York. She married Solomon Bridenbecker, a son of Jacob Bridenbecker of East Schuyler and they made their home near Seneca Falls, New York. The 1850 Census for Frankfort lists Mary Bridenbecker with her sister's family, the Peter Weaver's. It is possible that she was visiting her sister from the western part of the state, or possibly that they were separated. In 1855 Peter Weaver received legal documents for Mary Bridenbecker, which indicates that she was still not living with Mr. Bridenbecker.

Solomon Bridenbecker was a teamster who traveled quite a bit. After Mary died on October 24, 1875, Solomon remarried, this time to Mrs. Susan Harris, a widow with one child. They had three more children together, Frankie, Anna, and Frederick. Solomon died October 14, 1895 at age 66 and Susan died November 22, 1905 (they are buried in the Restvale Cemetery on the edge of town).
