Hello Noreen, It was good to get your note. Regarding my dead end in Massachusetts: My ancestor from Scotland, Andrew Weeks (Abt 1751-20 Dec 1825) m Anna Dorothy/Dorothea/Dolly Shaver. They had 13 children. Their 3d child John Weeks, b 22 Feb 1779, Columbia Co, abt 2 mi. so of Hudson; d 22 Nov 1848; m Abt 1802 to Lucretia Cline. They had 9 children, the 4th being David C. Weeks. (Is the C. for Cline, after his mom???) Anyway, David C. Weeks was born near Hudson (don't know when, his last 2 siblings were born 1822 & 1824) and settled "No. Brookfield, Mass." That's the end of the info I have on him. My only other known relative in Mass. was Mary Elizabeth Weeks. Her ancestry is: Andrew Weeks, b Abt 1751, prob. in Invernesshire, Scotland; came to NY Abt 1775; d 20 Dec 1825, age 74; m Abt 1775, to Anna Dorothy..... Shaver. Their 1st child was David Weeks (through whom I'm descended), b 20 Mar 1782; d 13 Dec 1867, bu Hartwick Cemetary, Hartwick, NY; m 1802, to Cornelia Conklin. " They settled on the farm of his father-in-law, now (1896, is it still???) in the family of Andrew Weeks", David & Cornelia's 2d child. They had 8 children, the 6th being Robert Henry Weeks. Robert Henry Weeks, b 25 Nov 1811, Columbia Co, NY; settled Cooperstown, NY; d 25 Jan 1856; bu Cooperstown Cemetery; m 7 Aug 1833, to Perthenia Goodrich. The 2d if their 3 children was Mary Elizabeth Weeks, b 10 Dec 1840, Hudson; m (1st) 6 Feb 1863, to Alf. Baird, (2d) 5 Sep 1882, to I. J. Sweet; settled at Richmond, Mass. Did David C. Weeks and Mary Elizabeth Weeks Baird Sweet move to Mass at the same time??? I don't know. So my Weeks relative dead end in Mass. would not necessarily mean the Weeks name is still known. Are either of Mary's last names common? I'm sorry that I don't have any more information on these lines. I've never heard of Weeks Mills, ME. Since there are various branches of the Weeks line, I don't know if they would be related or not. Since I've not been able to find my Scotland connection, I don't know where I link up. Also, I don't know if other relatives preceded my Weeks line or not. Your mid-1600s to my mid-1700s is a big gap, but who knows. I know next to nothing about my Andrew Weeks' older brothers, who all three came to America abt 1773, from Scotland. I'm hoping to find someone who shares the three: Bisset/Bizet, Zechariah and Andrew, and who has the genealogy for the other two. Bisset/Bizet, the eldest of the three, settled "in New York State, probably on Long Island." I've not yet found anyone connected to that line. Your family could possibly be through Zechariah Weeks, Zechariah, "was a sea-faring man, who later in life settled in one of the New England States, probably Vermont." Could you give me a bit more info on your g g'father's sister and sons who lived in Manhattan in 1900? Names, birthdates??? I don't show any Kincaids, but have numerous dead ends. Could they be one of them??? Please let me know if you have any more info. Thanks again for the contact.
