Lodowick Weller was born on November 17, 1779, at Newburg, Orange County, New York. He migrated west and married Lydia Miller in April, 1809, in Hamilton County, Ohio. They lived in Hamilton (Butler County, Ohio), where John was born in Hamilton on February 22, 1812.

On September 12, 1815, Lodowick Weller filed a plat in the village of Montgomery. He is the first owner of an early saltbox house at 7795 Cooper Road that is a designated Montgomery Landmark building. He was a trustee of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church beginning in 1823.

Together Lodowick and Lydia raised 6 boys and 2 girls. Weller served 4 months (September – December 1813) as an ensign in Captain James Andrews’s company in Butler County.

Sometime between 1820 and 1830, Weller moved his family to the village of Oxford in Butler County, Oh where in 1833, he became an active member of the Oxford Fire Department. In December of that year, the town council organized the first fire department made up of two companies: the Engine Company with twenty-six members and the Hook and Ladder Company with twenty members.
