-The Wimer name is of German origin. Variant spellings as Weimer and Weimert are found in the records. Christopher Wimer's name is found as Christophel Weimert, and he went by "Stophel" rather than the Anglicized "Christopher". He was from eastern Pennsylvania, possibly Lancaster County. His birthplace and parentage are not yet known, nor which generation of the family immigrated from Germany. Christopher apprenticed to learn the blacksmith trade, and once established, he married Maria Sophia Scneider, a daughter of Johann Phillip Scneder and Dorothy Miller, also from Lancaster County. In 1793 Christopher and Sophia resided in Earl Twp., Lancaster County. On Oct. 22, 1793 they purchased a small 12 acre plot in Codorus Twp., York, Co. where they lived until selling it in December of 1795. The writers of the 1883 History of Butler County, on interviewing the grandchildren of this couple, were told that they arrived in Butler County in 1798 from Adams Co. PA. However, the 1800 census indicates that Christopher was still inresidence in Hamilton's Bunn, Adams, Co. that year. He does appear in the 1805 tax assessment of Slippery Rock Twp, Butler Co., as a blacksmith. They resided north of present day Jacksville.
