Was John A. Weekes of New York City and Oyster Bay, 1885 a lawyer, who also had a son(lawyer) named John A. ?? There are so very many persons named John in my books, it would take me hours to try to find the right one. If his wife Sear was listed it would be much easier. Do you have his father's name and his mother's maiden name ???

Randy, My John A. Weeks was a master cooper. In the family plot at Greenwood Cem Brkyn, there was a very badly worn marker for Elizabeth Weeks "mother". She is listed in the burial transcripts, having passed away the 7/8 of May 1863. I would love to know more about this family. I found, but didn't purchase, a memorial booklet commemorating an anniversary of the NYGBS in 1875--there was a member listing for John Abeel Weeks--possibly my ancestor. Wish we could make a connection, but, as you said, there were a lot of John Weeks!
