The father has been a resident of Perry County since 1823. William T., our subject, is the eldest of eight children, and was born in Perry County October 18, 1849. His early days were spent on the farm and in attending the common schools. In connection with his farming he follows the blacksmith's trade, which he learned when young, and is doing fairly well, from a financial standpoint. He owns sixty acres of land, and grain is the principal production. Mr. Weems was married in Perry County, Tenn., February 4, 1869, to Mary J. Lewis. daughter of J. D. Lewis, a farmer and blacksmith. They have three children: Ella Eugenie, Jesse A. and George F. Mrs. Weems was born in Perry County, on Deer Creek, March 8, 1851.
