Name origin: the name is derived from the German word Weber, meaning weaver, Webber was the masculine, and Webster the feminine form of the word. The family originally came from Holland and those that bear the surname in New York and New England are generally descended from Wofret Weber, born Amsterdam, Holland, 1600, who came to New Amsterdam, 1633. [Not my line however!--haw]

FROM History of York by Banks; page 316-317...a girl that was captured at Cape Neddick, about this period [1707]...This was Bathsheba, dau. of Samuel and Deborah (Littlefield) Webber of Cape Neddick. She was taken to Quebec, where she was baptized, 1714, as "Marie," and called twelve years of age. She remained in Canada and married March 11, 1720 Joseph Saleur of St. Martin, province of Quebec. Northing further is known of her, except the recorded baptisms of her Saleur children.
