William Franklin Weller was born in Baltimore County, probably near Granite which is shown often as Harrisonville in records of the family. He is the son of Joseph Weller of Thurmont, MD and grandson of John Jacob Weller "BS" who founded the town of Mechanicstown, now called Thurmont, MD. The Wellers were the first to manufacture friction strike matches in this country. The Weller house and other Weller structures still exist.
