"Elijah" ... a name that was overlooked in the Weeks line after at least 1750. Looks like one Biblical name got away from them. As I've said, as far as I can tell, this branch seems to have stayed in South Jersey for the most part, until the 1960's when a couple of us took off for other parts of the world. We recently had a family reunion, and while I came from Florida, most of the others had driven less than an hour.
