Tee, I have been researching the Weeks family of N Y also. Elijah Weeks was born in NY and then moved to Michigan where he lived most of the rest of his life. All of his children were born there. Elijah had a son and a grandson with the middle name of Morrell. I wonder if they connect to your family in any way. I don't know any of Elijah siblings or his parents, but Elijah came to the Samaria, Mi. area with an Aunt and Uncle when he was a young man. Thanks for your time.
