Hi Gail: Are you near a LDS Family History Center? I found an index of Vermont when I was in Salt Lake. When I have a minute after the holidays I can send the number to you. It is a microfilm. I found several of people on the Lyman Weeks line. Also I found a Nathaniel Weeks who paid taxes in Windsor in 1786. Lyman was born 1783. Maybe your Zechariah is on the film. I know I have seen Zechariah while I have been searching on Google. But I have searched so many places that could not remember where. I also found a form that I sent in to the appropriate address to get a birth certificate that might name his parents. It cost $7.00 and a stamped envelope addressed to me. I will get back to you after the holidays.

Hi Nina, Thanks so much for responding to my query about Zechariah Weeks, emigrant from Scotland to America abt. 1751, brother to Bisset/Bizet and Andrew Weeks. I'd be glad to hear from anyone else who might have a Zechariah Weeks in Vermont abt this time. Nina, you also mentioned a Polly Ramsdell. Just an interesting aside. I know a teenage girl here in Elizabethton, TN whose last name is Ramsdell. I've never met any Ramsdell's before, so I thought that was interesting. Her family is from VA.

Paula, I appreciate your response to my query. I had listed Amiel's mother in my post as follows: Amiel Weeks Whipple's line is as follows: Amiel, son of David Whipple and Abigail Pepper, married 1806. Abigail's parents were Joseph Pepper & Zilpha Brown. David, son of David W. Whipple (1759-1842) m Elizabeth (Betsy) Davis (1766-1826) in 1785. David W. (Was HIS middle name Weeks???), son of James Whipple (1729-1767)m Lydia Powers in 1750. James, son of Jacob Whipple (?-1789), m Jerusha Leland (1710-1789) in 1728. I have scoured the Whipple website and not found any other trace of the name Weeks. I keep hoping that someone out there may have done some matriarchal research in either the Whipple or Weeks lines and found the Whipple/Weeks names somewhere else. Thanks again, Gail ----- Original Message ----- From: paula palmateer To: WEEKS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 1:49 PM Subject: Amiel Weeks Whipple About Amiels middle name. What is his mother's maiden name? Some times they gave the mother's maiden name as the middle name of their children. I have that a few times in my Weeks line. Paula

I just found an interesting item while searching for my family who came over on the WINTHROP FLEET in 1630. They approved my lineage and sent me a certificate, but I wanted to get another in my WEEKS name. On the WINTRHOP site, there is a letter, written by Capt. Roger CLAPP, another of the early settlers. In it he states (and I'm paraphrasing). " I don't intend to leave my new home. (Somebody must have asked him when he was coming back to England from the New World.) My life is here now. I feel so strongly about this that I've written to my two cousins, Nicholas CLAPP and George WEEKS. They are selling their things and will be joining me soon." Maybe this will help someone who's searching for very early WEEKS. I just wish I could track down all his descendants, since I still don't have the parents of my REBECCA WEEKS, B. 1735 in Norwich (Norwalk?) CT. She married Reuban TAYLOR in Norwalk c. 1758. He was in the REV.WAR and after moving several times, they ended up in Falls, Wyoming Co., PA where they both died. Any info on the parents of Rebecca would be most gratefully appreciated. Will gladly share all her descendents. Happy HOliday and Good HUnting. Earlene Hutsell eroch25@aol.com

Last month Nina and Noreen had several posts re Lyman Weeks and some of that info caught my attention. The posts mentioned Amiel Weeks and also a Vermont Weeks line, which sparked my interest. So, this is to Nina and Noreen, as well as to anyone who may have Weeks in Vermont. I have some mysteries which I've been trying to solve for several years now, involving both my maternal line and my husband's maternal line. My earliest known ancestor on my mother's side was Andrew Weeks, who emigrated to America from Scotland abt 1773, along with 2 older brothers: Bisset/Bizet Weeks and Zechariah Weeks. Andrew was born abt. 1751 and appears to be the youngest of the three, so I'm guessing the brothers are a few years older, possibly born in the 1740s in Scotland. I have not yet found their family in Scotland, which is my first mystery. My Andrew settled in Columbia Co, NY, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, 10th Reg., Albany (County) Militia, aka Col. Livingston's Regimment, of Livingston's Manor, where Andrew was later a mason and tenant farmer to H.W. Livingston, married to Anna Dorothy/Dorothea/Dolly Shaver(dtr if Johannes Schaeffer & Elizabeth Daniels). Andrew & Dolly had 10 children: Peter, Bisset/Bizet (died young, twin to Peter), John, David (my ancestor), Bisset/Bizet (2nd, also died young), Miles, Elizabeth Daniels, Eleanor, Robert Tong and James Livingston. Some other names of neighbors, friends, inlaws and sponsosrs connected to this family are: Berden, Borck, Carroll, Cline, Conklin, Cranckheyt, Daniels, Ecker, Hagerman, Hogeboom, Mueck, Patrick, Rohrback, Roth/Rath, Rowe, Schertz, Sheldon, Slocum and Van Texel. There are a number of baptisms recorded at the Linlithgo Reformed Church in Livingston, NY, sometimes showing the Weeks name spelled Wiks. Andrew died 20 DEC 1825, age 74, an! d is buried in Livingston Cemetery, Columbia, NY, "south of Hudson". The children settled mostly in the Columbia Co. area and Otsego Co. The next mystery is Bisset/Bizet's line. The only info I have on Bisset/Bizet Weeks is that he settled in New York state, probably on Long Island, and that he possibly married a Catherine ?. There was a Bisset and Catherine Weeks who were the godparents of Andrew's son Bisset Weeks, at Linlithgo, NY. I have wanted to find Bisset's branch of the family, but have had no success. Third, is Zechariah's line. From my Weeks geneology, a copy of which is in the NY State Library, by DeWitt Clinton Weeks and Henry Clay Weeks, in 1896, the only info on Zechariah is that he was "a sea-faring man, who later in life settled in one of the New England States, probably Vermont." I keep hoping to find someone connected to this line, but so far, nothing. Noreen, do you possibly have this Zechariah Weeks somewhere in your Vermont Weeks line? Fourth, my husband's maternal great-great grandfather was Amiel Weeks Whipple (1818-5 MAY 1863), married to Eleanor Mary Sherburne, Amiel died at Chancelorsville, during the Civil War and was apparently friends with Abraham Linclon. I have LOTS of interesting information on him, but no idea where his middle name of Weeks came from. Amiel Weeks Whipple's line is as follows: Amiel, son of David Whipple and Abigail Pepper, married 1806. Abigail's parents were Joseph Pepper & Zilpha Brown. David, son of David W. Whipple (1759-1842) m Elizabeth (Betsy) Davis (1766-1826) in 1785. David W. (Was HIS middle name Weeks???), son of James Whipple (1729-1767)m Lydia Powers in 1750. James, son of Jacob Whipple (?-1789), m Jerusha Leland (1710-1789) in 1728. This line goes back to the mid 1600s and is posted on the Whipple website and includes some interesting people. I've always wondered if Amiel was somehow related to my Weeks line, but I've been unable to find where his Weeks name came from. Then, Nina, your post mentions Amiel Weeks, son of George Weeks and Jane Capp. Is there a possibility that there is a connection between your Amiel Weeks and my husband's Amiel Weeks's line? Do you have any Whipples showing up anywhere, or any of the women's lines listed above? I would appreciate any help from either of you or from anyone else who might know something about these lines.

Hi Nina,Colleen and others; I am also looking for Lyman' Sr's parents. Polly Ramsdell and Lyman Week's marriage record is found in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. I have been there and copied it. Colleen I also went to Lopez and had a wonderful time there looking at all the Weeks sites and yes I made a visit to the cemetery to find Lyman and Irene and Lincoln and others. The little museum there is great and the people are very friendly. Also met a distant cousin Carroll Weeks at the service station and I know where you fit into the family. I have E-mailed you before. There are sites on the web where others have indicated that William Weeks and Martha Barnes are OUR Lyman's parents but I have researched enough to believe that it is NOT the case. I do hope you are finding the same results. I am a descendent of Edwin George Weeks, a son of Lyman and Polly Weeks. I have done a lot of research Lyman's children. All of you keep up the good work......somewhere out there is an answer. Although there are days that I think Lyman Sr. was hatched under a rock. Til Later........Mella Weeks Bedell

Hi Coleen: Thank you so much for your information about Lyman Weeks. I just have one question....????? Where can I find the marriage of Lyman Weeks Sr. who married Polly Ramsdale? (second wife) I have the first wife Rhoda Hardy? But I need a source or book or something to prove the date. My friend wants proof. I have been looking. Thank you for any help?
