There are at least 2 very distinct branches of the Tweeds, in Suffolk. My lot from 1500ish, Birch , Essex = Stoke-by-Clare, Suffolk and then beyond....known as the ' Suffolk Tweeds ' ( or the Rich ones - at one time ) . Then there are whats known as the ' Cambridge Tweeds' , from Cheveley, Newmarket ect areas. Researchers over 25 years tell me no link between the two has yet been found. It appears to me that before Birch in Essex and those in Cambridge....looking at early Wiils, there seems to be Twidds..Tyddes in Norfolk.....which will be investigated in about 10 years time !!. I have noted that quite a few Tweeds from the Cambridge area seem to have also settled in Kent...but not fully investigated them there yet. There is a small Cambridge Tweed Tree on the web - under The Edwards Family Tree which might be of interest to you and many Cambridge Tweed Trees on the free website GenCircles. - Clif - Clif

Folks, RootsWeb's mail servers are being located overnight, Wed to Thu this week, so most of RootsWeb's services, including the HelpDesk, will be down/stopped/off-line during the relocation. RootsWeb's Message Boards <http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/script/main/rw> and World Connect <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/> will be available as they have already been relocated. E-mail bound for RootsWeb should be held by your ISP automatically until the servers are back on-line and ready to receive e-mail again. If an e-mail does bounce back to you, please hold off re-sending it for a period of six hours. The time scheduled for the servers to be off is Thu, 19 Jan, from midnight until 6 a.m. in Utah (MST). This translates to the starting time in the USA & Canada of Thu, 2 a.m. (EST), 1 a.m. (CST), Wed, 11 p.m. (PST), etc. In the U.K., it's 7 a.m. (GMT); in NZ, 8 p.m. ; in Aus, 6 p.m. (AEDT), all on Thu. There is an associated issue ... As part of the server relocation, there is a "high possibility" that some/all of the servers will be getting new IP addresses. The potential problem is that if particular ISPs have whitelisted current RootsWeb IP addresses, the new addresses might very well be blacklisted unless/until RootsWeb can contact the relevant ISPs to allow mail through unimpeded. RootsWeb and I will be watching for this eventuality on this list ... some patience on your part might be required! Thanks ... any comments to me off-list, please ... Peter List Admin.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iQTBAIB/127.2 Message Board Post: Hi Rachel, As Linda stated Matthew is the son of Alexander Dickey Tweed and Maria Wait. I can add to that a little bit. Matthew was 5 years of age on the 1852 census and 14 on the 1861 census. He married Maggie Duglas, (probably should read Douglas) who was born in 1843 in Caledonia Township, Prescott County, Ontario. The marriage date is December 23, 1870. In a book by Cyril Thomas, "The History of the Counties of Argenteuil, Quebec and Prescott, Ontario", published in 1896 on page 558 it states; " Alexander D. Tweed...who was 4 years old when his parents came to Canada (1820) was married in 1843 to Maria, daughter of William Wait. He bought a farm near the homestead, which is now (1896) owned by his own son, Thomas. He was a man of influence in this section as a Justice of he Peace for several years, and as Director of the Agricultural Society. He died in November 1882, aged 67; Mrs Tweed died in July 1893. They had nine children - five sons and four daughters, who, with the exception of William and Thomas, living in this place, (West Hawkesbury) are settled in widely different localities - Manitoba, the United States and in Australia." Alexander Dickey Tweed and Maria Wait are both buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Vankleek Hill, Ontario. Regards, Jean Rutherford

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Tweed , Sams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iQTBAIB/143.1 Message Board Post: You are correct. Celia Sams Tweed was the wife of Thomas Tweed. They are my great-great grandparents. Celia was the daughter of Gabriel Sams. Her mother's name escapes me at this time but her maiden name was Hamtpon, I do believe. Thomas was basically beaten and starved to death buy the Confederates, over the course of about 1 year, 1862-1863. After his capture, the Confederates burned the home, killed the livestock and drove Celia and the children across Union lines at the point of starvation. Celia died in 1883. An interesting sidenote..... Mrs. Ruth Tweed Landers, 84 years old, lives next door to me. She told me a couple of years ago that Matilda Tweed (1881?- 1970) told her years ago that Celia was, quote, "The most beautiful woman to ever walk the waters of the Shelton Laurel." That is quite a compliment to survive 120 plus years after Celi's death, who was about 62-63 years old at the time of her death, by a woman who was only two years old at the time! I am guessing t! hat that folklore was handed to Matilda by older ancestors.
