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. Oct. 14, 1787), William (b. march 5, 1789), Sarah (b. Feb. 1, 1791), Joseph (b. March 15, 1793), Benjamin (b. Jan. 13, 1795), Harriet (b. Jan. 17, 1797), John (b. Jan 19, 1799). Joseph d. Philadelphia, Pa., 1868; his son Jon L. l. at Baltimore, 1884. Benjamin lived near Rochester, N. Y.; John l. in Vermont. John H. (Meridan, Conn., 1884) is s. of William. I am descended from the above-mentioned Benjamin Weeks who lived in both Henrietta and Webster (Monroe Co., NY -- to the south of Rochester, NY). Perhaps we are both descended from Francis Weeks of Oyster Bay, L. I. I hope to hear from you. Best Regards, Sally J. Bolster Holcombe holcombejr@mindspring.com g-X-4-granddaughter of Stephen Weeks and his wife, Susanna (Betts) Dunning Weeks

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. Aug. 8, 1821, m Jane Ellen Dunning........m. 2nd, Mary Catherine Du Bois; ...etc. pages 137-8 Book II. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sally Holcombe" <holcombejr@mindspring.com> To: <WEEKS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 12:38 PM Subject: Descendants of Francis Weeks, Oyster Bay, L.
