Sounds familiar... Joseph Weed (1) came to Ti about 1820, built mills at the upper falls, Joseph Weed (2) came to Ti about 1830, built mills and a store at the lower falls, both were very sussessfull, Joseph 2 created the Weedville section of Ti, then sold it to Joseph 1. They were both wealthy and very involved in politics. Their children followed in their footsteps, build ing the Weed opera house, pharmacy, Weed block, etc...H G Burleigh was also active in everything, with a big empire on Lake Champlain and in the village...
