He was also known as Buford and “Blue”.

The U.S. Civil War Draft Registration index lists in Subdistrict 5, Bluford Weaver, age 40, single, farmer, born in Kentucky, registered Sep 1863.

1880 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Christy Creek precinct, enumerated 1 June, lists on p. 56 as household #398/427:
Abbott, Loran, 22, farmer; Ellen, 18, wife. Both born Ohio Ohio Ohio. Milford, 6/12, b. Nov Ky Oh Oh, son. Weaver, Bluford, boarder, 60, single, b. Ky Ky Ky.

Her death certificate records Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, age 90, birth date blank, born in Ky, died 1 Apr 1927 in Morehead, Rowan Co., Kentucky, widowed, parents “Don’t know”, cause of death arteriosclerosis, informant Mrs. Lillie Holland, Morehead, Ky, burial in Bradley Cemetery.

Her gravestone is inscribed with the birth date 26 June 1846. The 1900 census said April 1843. In the 1870 census, she was recorded as age 30, which would imply about 1840. With such a wide birthdate range to choose from, and no clues as to her parents, attempting to identify her in the 1850 and 1860 censuses would be difficult.

They probably never officially married, since their daughters were recorded as Catron in the 1870 census, and Bluford was listed as single in the 1880 census (the 1870 census does not record marital status). But their daughter Mote was known as Mottie Lee Weaver, and they were living together in 1870 as a family. I’m therefore recording them as a common law marriage.
