To Janet, Barbara, Earlene and anyone else interested: Maybe this will be the start of catching up with long lost Weekses outside NY. 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". Janet, I've not yet found any Weekses in SC. Earlene, your Rebecca obviously predates this line of Weeks, since they did not arrive in America until about 1773. So, there is evidently another Weeks line somewhere. I've wondered if my 3 brothers followed some other relatives over here from Scotland. I've never been able to find their connection in Scotland and have no information prior to their immigration to America. If anyone has any info on this line, please contact me. If anyone would like info on anyone in this line or on any of those who traveled to the states I mentioned, I'll be glad to share what I have. I would also enjoy hearing from anyone else connected to this line. Gail Lang Elizabethton, TN dglang@onemain.com

I wish I could help you in your Weeks search, but so far can not find anything that jibes. The closest I can find of Weeks mentioned in my Weeks book, of so. Carolina....Robert S., trial justice and surveyor, Reevesville, S. Carolina. 1884, had a father living, also in Car. Also said there were many persons of the name in the Carolinas. Perhaps if you contacted all the town or city halls in the various areas, they might help, but it would cost....unless they couldn't find anything assaociated with your particular search, and then usually there is no charge. All my family are tracked from 1635 when they first came to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, but I can't trace them back to England.
