Prominent colonial Pennsylvania Indian agent and interpreter.

In 1748, on the English colonies' first official overture to the Indians west of the Alleghany Mountains, Weiser journeyed with George Croghan and Andrew Montour on behalf of Pennsylvania to Logstown on the Alleghany River. There the men met and formed an alliance with the various western tribes that was intended to counteract French influence in the Ohio region.
