My grandfather was Benjamin Ernest Weeks born Long Island 1869. I have had no luck going back any further. He is on the 1920 census in Elmhurst NY but can't trace him to Islip, though I am certain that that is where he was born. The actual name of the town is Patchogue today. I noticed that your Smith Weeks had son, Benjamin, who was 25 when Smith Weeks was 49 but I have no context of what year this was, if it was 1850 or not. If you could be of any assistance that would be wonderful, I am new to all this and do not know where to start looking. Thanks again, Elizabeth Weeks
