Weaver was the son of Richard Weaver (MP) of the Above Eign, Hereford and his wife Katherine Fox. He matriculated at Oriel College, Oxford on 20 June 1628 aged 17.

PhD thesis, Department of History, Aberystwyth University'', 1981, pp151,172,209 ) McParlin claims he was a member of the Barebones Parliament but this is in direct contradiction to all sources based on parliamentary records〕 He returned to the Restored Rump Parliament in December 1659.〔〔 Weaver died in 1672 at the age of 62.
