Glad to see some life in the Weeks list! I'm still looking for the parents of my Isabella Weeks born 1815 in Tennessee, although two children, in two different later census records, give Mississippi. She married Samuel W. Horton about 1833 in Washington Parish, Louisiana. She died about 1862, maybe in San Augustine Co., Texas. It was suggested by another Weeks researcher years ago that her parents were from New York?? Any help would be very much appreciated! Lynda Langston Fredendall

Sorry, Lynda, cannot help make any connections until I find someone related to my line as follows: John A. Weeks, b.NYC 1800 m. Charlotte Sear, b 1805 Hudson NY. Their children are: John Weeks, b 1833, Sarah C.Weeks b 1836 m _____ Berlin, and Joseph Mont Weeks, b 1838 (my GGGrandfather)m Elivna Cutts/Cults who may have been from Maine. John and Charlotte are buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn NY. If anyone descends from this line, I'd love to hear from you. I have no information on this family.

Margaret Sessions et al, I'm curious about your Ebenezer Weeks, as I have no Ebenezers in my line. Who is your oldest known ancestor and his date of birth? My maternal grandfather was Francis Marion Weeks, b 11 FEB 1898, the 11th of 12 children, to Hiland Bisset/Bizet Weeks and Ella/Nellie A.Highburgh. Francis, who went by the name of Frank was married to my maternal grandmother, Albina Grace Michon, on 25 MAY 1919. He divorced her abt. the mid-1920s and later remarried and moved to FL, where he divorced his second wife in Sarasota, in July 1940. I do not know the name of this wife, how long they were married, or if there were any children produced by this marriage. I'm hoping someone in Florida might have a Weeks connection. My oldest known Weeks ancestor, Andrew, came to America from Scotland, about 1773. Along with Andrew were 2 older brothers, Bisset/Bizet Weeks and Zechariah Weeks. My unstubtantiated records state that Bisset/Bizet Weeks, the eldest of these 3 brothers, settled in NY state, probably on Long Island, but I have not found this line of the family. Zechariah Weeks, was said to be a "sea-faring man, who later in life settled in one of the New England states, probably Vermont." This too, is unsubstantiated information, but if true would be a Weeks line outside of NY state. This info is taken from my copy of Andrew Weeks genealogy, written in 1896 by one of Andrew's grandsons, DeWitt Clinton Weeks (8th and youngest child of David Weeks and Cornelia Conklin, David being the 4th of 10 children of Andrew Weeks and Dorothy/Dorothea/Dolly Shaver) and his nephew, Henry Clay Weeks, a great-grandson of Andrew Weeks (7th and youngest child of Hiland Bisset/Bizet Weeks and Allura Camp, Hiland being an elder brother of DeWitt Clinton Weeks). This genealogy can be found at the New York State Library in NYC. In it are various descendants who left New York and went to California, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin and unidentified states "west". Gail Lang My husband's family is riddled with Weeks on both sides of his family. His mother was Weeks, they came from north Florida, but, I believe that the original Weeks to come to the US was from Scotland and probably named Ebenezer as there were several Ebenezers in the family. His ggrandfather's name was Ira Ebenezer Weeks and was called Ebb. That's how he signed most everything and how he is listed in the census'. Guess the census taker couldn't spell Ebenezer.
