Hi Earlene; In order to possibly help you out, please show as much information as you can...such as her fathers name; her mother's maiden name; her husbands name...etc. Unfortunately, Robert D. Weeks, who published two books on the Weekes(Weeks, etc.) families, starting with George of Dorchester, Ma. did not follow much of the female side of the born Weeks name, therefor, whatever information I may find in the books will just mention her husbands name, and perhaps ???the names of children, but that would be all. If you have any info to help, please supply it and we shall see what might be found.

You misunderstood, or I wasn't clear... Some local libraries contain the same books located in Historical Society Libraries. If you have the name and authur of the book, then go to your local library (not Hisotrical Society) and asked them to check for the book at other locations across the country (inter-library loan). I couldn't check out a book at my local Historical Society, but I found a copy of it at the local history room of the city library. They too, do not allow books to be checked out. So, I then had the reference desk at the city library to check other libraries across the country, and within weeks I had a copy to take home.

Hi Dave, I've checked with two cousins, and I think we have all the information that we know of exists there. We have pictures of tombstones from Fishkill, Ruth, James and Henry Weeks.....We just don't know who James' father is for sure. Wish they listed that stuff on all tombstones.

You can go to most city/county libraries and request an inter-library loan. You give them the info on a particular book and they can search libraries across the country to find what you want. The book will then be sent to your nearest library. I once received genealogy books located in North Dakota which were not available for check-out at any local libraries. It's worth asking about if there are books in a history room of a library that can not be check-out.

Can someone out there give me a clue on Ira Weeks above? He went by the name Ebb most of the time but his given name was Ira Ebenezer and that was his father's name also as best I can find, which isn't much. Ebb is in the FL census in 1920, his son James and family is living with him. Ebb married Nancy Artemis Anderson in 1880, Ebenezer, Sr married Elizabeth Tice in 1843. They were, I believe, in SC at that time and that is where Ebb was born. I don't know what happened to Ebenezer Sr or even where he was from. Thanks for any help. Margaret Smile and make people wonder what you have been up to.

Good Morning Everyone: I would like to post my interest in Martha Weekes. According to the 1881 Census, she was born in Wadhurst, and she was age 56 at that time. She married William Valentine/Vallentine in 1848 in Frant. Is anyone researching this Martha Weekes? Joy - in Canada _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Hello, Randy -- Thanks for the information about Stephan and Susanna Weeks. There are two bits of info I can add: 1. Susanna was m. first to Thaddeus Dunning. This is in the records of the First Church of Norwalk (Congregational). Her maiden name was actually "Betts." She was the dau. of Joseph Betts and his wife, Sarah Platt. 2. Stephan and Susanna are bur. in Union Cemetery, Webster, Monroe Co., NY. There was a third son b. to Stephan and Susanna -- George Washington Weeks. Several fam. members have told me that he stayed with his other two brothers at Leslie (Ingham Co., MI), but that he eventually returned to Monroe Co., NY. I haven't found a bur. site for him in Leslie -- and I have found Stephen and William -- but I also haven't yet found him in Monroe Co. No, I haven't seen the second book, but I would like to. Where did you locate it? There is a copy of the first book with the NEHGS circulation library which I borrowed this last winter. In your opinion, does the second book give any clearer indication of Stephan's ancestry (other than that he's from the Long Island bunch)? There is a Stephen Weeks -- son of Jonathan, grandson of Philip -- who was b. at Stamford, served in the Rev. War, m. about the same time as my Stephan Weeks (Esther Dann was his wife), d. in NY. Thinking that the two men might be the same person, I sent for his records from the DAR. Of course, they are not the same men. The children's names are not the same -- and both sets of children were interspersed within the same 20 years, so they couldn't be the result of two different marriages. You also mentioned that the given name, Samuel, was almost exclusively used by Francis' line and rarely by descendants of Thomas. Is that also the case with the name, Stephan/Stephen? Thank you again for contacting me. I hope to hear from you again. Best Regards, Sally J. Bolster Holcombe holcombejr@mindspring.com

Hi Sally; I believe I had sent Bob some information a couple of months ago, which I also dug out of the Weekes genealogy books. Do you have, or have you seen the second book, reffered to as Part II, also written by Robert D. ??It is too bad that RDW didn't spend more time on the lines of Francis (book I and II), including other information in Part II of Thomas. I think you will find most Samuels under Francis with very few, if any under Thomas. Hey...I found...... Benjamin (s. of Stephan and Susanna (Dunning) Weeks, of Wilton, Conn.) b. Norwalk, Conn. Jan. 13,1795; blacksmith and farmer, soldier in 1812; m. at Wilton, Jan 21, 1816, Maria Whitney; removed to Henrietta, N.Y. and in 1835 to Webster, N.Y.; deacon in Baptist church 30 years; d. Dec. 10, 1872 Children; Ann Matilda, b. New Canaan, Conn. Nov. 13, 1816 at Webster, N.Y.; Stephan, b. Scipio, N.Y. Jan 10, 1820.....m Maria Clark...m. 2nd, Laura Edwinna Reynolds; William Henry b.

Lynda: I am interested in your Rhodes Weeks of North Carolina since I am also a descendant of his. Rhodes married Edith Sanders in 1792 but she died in about 1795 and I have not found any evidence of her having a daughter. Can you tell me a bit more about her?? Rhodes then married Sarah Sanders about 1800 and they had nine children including a Mary Vashti Weeks who married Edward Beale on Feb 12, 1832. I am related to Rhodes through his son, Jabez Weeks.

Hello, Bob -- On p. 294, "Genealogy of the Family of George Weekes of Dorchester, Mass.. 1635=1650:...," in the section under "Francis, of Oyster Bay," is the Samuel you referred to in your recent e-mail to Gail. On p. 288 and 297, respectively, are two others: Richard, (w. Mary) had Silas, Richard, Samuel, James, Rachel, Hannah, Sarah, Rebecca, Martha, Mary. Silas and James had no children. Samuel had Silas D., Isaac D. (Locust Valley, L. I., 1881), Samuel C. (St. Louis, Mo., 1881). The latter has Frederick S., Flora E. Solomon, "of N. Y. State," (b. 1765), had Townsend, Isaac, Joel, and (Rev.) Samuel. Townsend r. to Canada 1830, with brothers Isaac and Samuel. Wrenselaer S. (Chicago, Ill., 1882) is s. of Townsend, and has Harry, Herbert E." The section of the book that Solomon and my ancestor are both in says that they are most likely descendants of Francis, but possibly of Thomas. I'm hoping that someone on this list can help both of us. My ancestor, Stephen, is on p. 291 -- Stephen, of Norwalk, Conn., of L. I. ancestry, m. Sept. 27, 1786, Susanna Dunning; had James (b.

Hello to All, I am researching my g-uncle Rhodes WEEKS of Attala Co., MS. I do not have any birth or death dates for him or a place of birth. I did a search for him on Ancestry.Com and found a William Rhodes Weeks in the Civilian Draft Registrations of WWI. There are two entries for this person. Both have the same DOB, State, Ethnicity and County. The only difference is that one states that he was born near Vaiden, MS and the other says for Place of Birth: "lives near Poplar Creek, MS". Does it happen very often that two cards are made on the same person? He is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Attala County MS. He and his wife, Ora Hearon, had one child, a daughter, who died at the age of five in 1927. Thanks for any help. Peggy

Gail, Sorry for not responding sooner. Thank you for looking that stuff up. As far as I can tell, Samuel Weeks who is my gg grandfather, born in NY in 1829. His father may also have been a Samuel Weeks (b. 1773)married to a Mary Lyons and died in Philadelphia in 1839. If this is true, he descended from the Francis Weeks line.

Hi, I'm reposting this because I'm not sure it made it through before: I was unsubscribing from my old addressd and resubscribing from my new one, so it may have dropped into limbo. Pardong the duplication if it's already been posted. I also clarified the details from the original post. JP I haven't put my names up for a while. I'm wondering if anyone knows about the Henry V. Weeks (V. is thought to be Von short for Van Vleck, which was his mother's maiden name) that married a Ruth Wiltse Cooper Spencer (first marriage was Spencer) both born around 1800. Evidentally the family they came from were loyalists from New York (Dutch ess County) who moved to Canada (Prince Edward County, not Island) around the turn of the century. Henry's father was supposedly James Weeks married to Hannah Van Vleck (Vlack, Fleck, etc). Henry's line supposedly goes back to the Francis Weeks Family of Long Island descended from quasi-nobleman Richard Weeks of Honey Church.. The only thing I know for sure, is that my great, my great-great, and my great-great-great grandpa's were all Henry V. Weeks (Von). and I have the census information that proves the Henry Weeks at the top of these Henry's and Ruth Wiltse Cooper were my direct line, and that Henry's dad was "A" James Weeks (but not sure he's THE James Weeks married to Hannah Van Vleck). My ancestors ended up in Fishkill New York where they died. The circumstantial evidence of My Weeks line being the ones who tie into the Van Flecks really fits, but would like more evidence or collaboration etc. Thanks, Jana Peterson Pawlowski (whose mother's maiden name is Weeks)
