unrusted  Alter   iwo  Hundred 
and  Seventy-Six  Years. 

Demonstrated  By  George  M.  Huntress. 

Huntress  is  an  old-time  carpenter,  77 
old.  He  has  ivorked  all  his  life  in  the 
orlwod  of  Greenland,  N.  H.,  where  the 
brick  house  is  located.  We  can  vouch  for 
ith  of  what  he  says  about  the  present 
on  of  the  three  old  record-setting  nails, 

nails  themselves  were  sent  to  us  to  be 
raphed  and  are  now  on  display  in  our 
il  rooms. — Editor. 

E  oldest  brick  house  in  New  Hampshire, 
and  in  fact  it  was  the  first  brick  house 
erected  in  the  state,  still  stands  here  at 
and.  It  is  the  old  Weeks  house,  erected 
I,  and  is,  therefore,  now  two  hundred  and 
-six  years  old.  Seven  generations  of  the 
family  have  dwelt  under  this  roof. 

e  is  many  a  lesson  for  builders  in  examin- 
ne  of  these  old-time  houses.  Take  nails, 
tance.  One  doesn't  have  to  have  been  as 
arpenter  as  I  am  to  remember  back  to  the 
hen  iron-cut  nails  were  in  common  use. 
do  the  young  fellows  of  today  think  of 
1  use  and  exposed  to  dampness  for  more 
vo  hundred  years,  without  rusting?  We 
ky  if  nails  last  for  ten  years  tnese  days, 
pular  wire  nails  rust  down  to  just  a  little 
of  powder  in  about  that  time. 

look  at  these  nails ;  the  longest  one  I  took 
e  other  day  from  a  red  oak  timber  in  the 
>f  the  old  Weeks  house.  It  was  driven  in 
ir  1638.  It  is  still  bright  and  clean.  It 
hand-forged  nail  and  the  hammer  marks 
LI  plainly  seen.  Such  a  record  of  two 
d  and  seventy-six  years  of  service  in  a 
k  cellar-beam  is  quite  an  argument  for 
Duilding,  and  for  paying  a  little  bit  more 
mg  building  materials  that  will  last. 
other  two  nails,  while  venerable  in  a 
•e  mere  babes-in-arms  compared  with  this 
andfather  nail.  I  took  them  from  a 
house  built  two  hundred  years  ago.  The 
one  is  a  clapboard  nail,  the  other  an 
finish  nail.  Both  are  clean  and  bright, 
ely  free  from  rust. 

llustration  shows  these  nails  to  exact  size, 
e  are  several  other  interesting  facts  about 
Weeks  house  that  are  worth  recalling, 
alls  are  eighteen  inches  thick,  built  of 
burnt  right  on  the  site,  at  the  time  of 
g.     Tradition  says  that  this  house  was

built  as  a  sort  of  garrison  with  a  view  of  safety 
from  being  burned  down  by  the  Indians. 

The  main  supporting  girders  of  the  first  nooi 
are  12  by  14-inch  oak  beams.  Subordinate  beam: 
are  round  red  oak  timbers,  ten  inches  ii 
diameter. 

The  only  change  that  has  been  made  in  th< 
outside  of  the  house  is  in  the  windows.  Thej 
were  originally  made  up  of  small  diamond  panes 
set  in  lead. 

It  is  said  that  there  is  only  one  house  in  Nev 
England  that  antedates  this  Weeks  house  anc 
that  is  the  ancient  Craddock  mansion  in  Med 
ford,  Mass.,  which  is  stated  to  have  been  buib 
seven  years  earlier.  The  architectural  desigi 
of  the  two  houses  is  identical. — America,

Part  Circle  Corrugated  Culverts  for 
Driveway  and  Alley  Entrances. 

j  "The  use  of  pure  iron  corrugated  culverts  in 
the  part  circle  form  at  driveway  entrances  is 
already  quite  common  in  cities  on  the  Pacific 
coast  and  might  be  widely  adopted  to  great 
advantage.  The  following  letter  from  Mr.  S.  J. 
Van  Ornum,  Consulting  Engineer  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, Cal.,  sets  forth  a  very  practical  plan  for 
this  construction.  No.  10  gauge  corrugated 
American  Ingot  Iron  should  be  employed,  and 
probably  it  would  be  found  advantageous  to 
protect  the  concrete  at  the  ends  of  the  corrugated 
arch  by  the  use  of  a  light  angle  iron." 


S.  J.  Van  Ornum. 

Consulting  Engineer, 
960-964  Pacific  Building. 

San  Francisco,  Cal.,  September  18,  1914. 

Editor  Highway  Magazine. 

Dear  Sir: — When  I  was  in  Burlingame  and 
San  Mateo  the  other  day,  my  attention  was 
attracted  to  the  driveway  culverts  along  the 
streets  constructed  of  four  or  six-inch  pipes  sur- 
rounded by  concrete  or  asphalt  surface. 

A  small  circular  pipe  at  driveways  is  an 
abomination  as  it  can  not  have  sufficient  capacity 
for  the  storm  water  flowing  along  the  gutters. 
It  also  easily  clogs  with  leaves  and  debris  and 
when  clogged  it  is  very  hard  to  clean  out. 
Because  of  this  disadvantage,  some  cities  pro- 
hibit the  use  of  driveway  culverts  entirely,  but 
most  cities  allow  them  to  be  used  specially  when 
the  parking  is  so  narrow  that  an  easy  slope  from 
the  sidewalk  to  the  gutter  can  not  be  made. 

The  thought  occurred  to  me  of  constructing 
driveways  and  alley  culverts  of  corrugated  iron 
part  circles  resting  one  edge  in  a  notch  in  the 
gutter  and  the  other  edge  in  a  notch  near  the 
top  of  the  curb.  I  have  drawn  two  cross-sections 
showing  this  idea.  The  upper  cross-section 
shows  the  gutter  sloping  toward  the  curb  and 
the  lower  cross-section  shows  a  gutter  having  dif- 
ferent cross-sections.  The  curb  face  in  each  case  I 
have  made  eight  inches.  These  two  cross-sections 
1  believe  are  typical  examples  of  gutter  cross- 
sections  for  both  paved  and  unpaved  streets  in 
this  state. 

The  drawings  show  a  twenty-four  inch  part 
circle  with  a  rise  of  two  inches  as  maoufactured 
by  your  company. 


The  advantage  of  this  cross-section  ove 
now  in  use  are : 

1.  A  maximum  cross-section  of  culver 
tained  for  the  flow  of  water. 

2.  The    standard    street    cross-section 
gutter  is  not  changed,  thus  allowing 
tinuous  unobstructed  free  passage  o 

3.  Minimum  interference  in  the  use  ( 
way. 

4.  The  strength  of  the  corrugated  in 
circle  is  not  diminished. 

5.  A  minimum  amount  of  concrete  or 
surface  mixture  required  in  its  const 

6.  Sufficient  height  and  width  to  al 
cleaning  if  necessary. 

7.  A  curb  and  gutter  previously  con 
can  be  utilized  by  cutting  proper  nc 
them  to  receive  the  corrugated  part 

8.  The  design  can  be  used  with  any  h 
curb  face  and  any  cross-section  of  gj 

In  the  upper  cross-section  I  have  m 
slope  of  the  roadway  over  the  culvei 
slight,  but  if  necessary  on  a  narrow  sti 
slope  over  the  culvert  can  be  made  gre 
shown  on  the  lower  cross-section.  It  can 
that  the  lower  cross-section  gives  a  mini] 
interference  to  the  travel  along  the  str< 
the  upper  drawing  the  culvert  area  is  e 
three  six-inch  pipes  placed  side  by  side 
lower  drawing  is  equal  to  two  eight-inc 
and  is  also  greater  than  one  eleven-inch 

I  believe  if  this  design  were  shown 
officials  they  would  adopt  it  as  the  si 
design  for  driveway  culverts  and  proh 
construction  of  driveway  culverts  as  n 
structed. 

I  am  sending  you  this  design  knowi 
its  adoption  will  be  a  great  aid  in  mahl 
clean  and  unobstructed  waterways  al 
curbs  of  cities. 

Very  truly  yours,

PREFACE. 

THE  following  contribution  toward  the  history  of  one  of 
the  early  families  of  our  country,  is  the  result  of  investi- 
gations and  correspondence  during  the  past  five  years  ;  and 
while  it  is  not  as  complete  as  might  be  desired,  yet  it  is 
believed  to  be  of  sufficient  value  to  warrant  its  publication. 

The  work  has  been  a  growth,  extending  far  beyond  the 
original  design, — which  was  merely  to  trace  the  line  of  the 
author's  ancestry  back  to  the  settlement  of  the  country,  and 
to  collect  the  history  of  the  descendants  of  his  great  grand- 
father, making  perhaps  a  pamphlet  of  a  few  pages.  In  carry- 
ing out  this  design,  however,  traces  were  found  of  other 
branches  of  the  original  family,  and  the  plan  was  gradually 
enlarged,  until  it  comprised  the  entire  history  of  the  descend- 
ants of  George  Weekes,  in  the  direct  line,  so  far  as  possible  to 
obtain  it. 

Information  has  also  been  sought  in  regard  to  the  early 
history  in  England  of  the  family  of  which  George  Weekes  is 
supposed  to  have  been  a  member,  and  with  some  good  degree 
of  success. 

While  the  work  has  involved  a  great  amount  of  labor,  and 
some  hundreds  of  dollars  of  expense, — far  beyond  any  expect- 
ation of  pecuniary  compensation, — the  author  feels  abundantly 
rewarded  for  his  labor  by  the  pleasure  experienced  in  the 
doing  of  it,  and  will  be  content  if  the  subscription  list  shall 
prove  adequate  to  defray  the  cost  of  publication  merely. 

Several  hundreds  of  letters  have  been  written,  to  all  parts  of 

the  country  ;  libraries  have  been  searched  ;  family,  town,  and 

other   histories, — city   and    town    directories, — county,    town, 

church,  and  family  records, — monumental  inscriptions, — have

been  examined  ;  localities  have  been  visited  ;  every  clew  has 
been  followed,  as  far  as  practicable.  Both  public  and  private 
records  have  in  many  instances  been  found  to  have  been  very 
imperfectly  kept,  and  in  some  cases  to  have  been  destroyed.  It 
is  probable  that  a  large  proportion  of  the  persons  not  traced 
died  in  childhood,  or  in  early  life  without  issue  ;  others  prob- 
ably removed  to  parts  unknown,  and  may  be  represented  by 
descendants  who  have  no  knowledge  of  their  ancestry  for 
more  than  two  or  three  generations.  A  colony  from  Dor- 
chester went  to  South  Carolina  in  1695,  and  founded  a  settle- 
ment which  they  named  Dorchester  ;  they  afterward  removed 
to  Midway,  Georgia.  Some  of  the  early  untraced  members  of 
the  Weekes  family  may  have  gone  with  this  colony  :  while 
traces  of  families  of  the  name  have  been  found  in  that  region, 
not  enough  has  been  learned  to  determine  their  origin. 

More  than  1,100  names  of  descendants  of  George  Weekes, 
in  the  direct  line,  have  been  found,  about  half  of  whom  are 
now  living;  also,  about  1,000  names  of  children  whose 
mothers  were  Weeks  by  birth. 

A  very  few  members  of  the  family  to  whom  repeated  letters 
of  inquiry  have  been  written,  have  been  too  indifferent,  or  too 
careless,  to  reply  at  all.  A  few  others  have  replied  briefly  and 
imperfectly,  and  could  not  be  induced  to  be  more  definite  or 
full.  But  by  far  the  greater  number  have  responded  cheer- 
fully, offering  to  add  anything  desired  as  far  as  in  their  power ; 
and  some  have  entered  heartily  into  the  spirit  of  the  matter, 
and  industriously  sought  for  information,  thus  rendering  valu- 
able aid,  and  lightening  the  labors  of  the  author.  While  he 
is  deeply  grateful  to  all  who  have  so  cheerfully  assisted  him, — 
too  many  to  enumerate  in  this  connection, — he  feels  that 
especial  thanks  are  due  to  W.  Hill  Budgett,  Esq.,  of  Bristol, 
England  ;  to  Hon.  Wm.  B.  Trask,  of  Boston,  Mass.  ;  to  the 
late  Mrs.  Eunice  (Weeks)  Little,  of  Granville,  O.  ;  to  Mrs.

Justin  W.  Weeks,  of  Watertown,  N.  Y.  ;  to  George  W. 
Weeks,  of  Clinton,  Mass.  ;  also  to  William  F.  Weeks,  of  New 
York  City,  for  information  in  regard  to  the  Hardwick  family  ; 
and  to  Mrs.  Charles  L.  Alden,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  and  Dr.  Stephen 
Wickes,  of  Orange,  N.  J.,  for  the  history  of  the  family  ot 
Thomas,  of  Huntington. 

The  plan  of  the  work  does  not  comprise  a  record  of  all  the 
descendants  of  George  Weekes  ;  but  only  those  of  the  name, 
with  the  children  of  such, — those  of  other  surnames  of  the 
second  and  later  generations  not  being  included. 

Those  of  each  branch  or  sub-family  are  placed  together :  the 
descendants  of  an  elder  brother,  for  instance,  are  followed  out 
to  the  present  date,  before  the  history  of  the  one  next  to  him 
in  order  of  birth,  is  entered  upon. 

Immediately  after  the  list  of  children  in  any  branch  of  the 
family,  the  children  of  daughters  are  given,  before  the  families 
of  sons  are  taken  up. 

Individuals  who  are  Weeks  by  birth  are  numbered  in  the 
order  of  their  first  appearance  in  the  record,  and  indexed  by 
such  numbers  :  children  of  other  surnames  are  not  numbered. 
In  a  few  instances,  where  a  name  has  been  inadvertently  over- 
looked in  the  original  numbering,  or  has  been  afterwards 
added,  the  preceding  number  is  repeated,  with  an  italic  a 
attached.  The  individuals  in  the  families  of  Thomas,  of 
Huntington,  and  Nathaniel,  of  Hardwick,  are  numbered  for 
convenience  of  reference  to  family  connection,  but  are  indexed 
according  to  pages. 

When  a  name  is  to  appear  later,  as  the  head  of  a  family, 
reference  is  made  in  connection  with  its  first  appearance,  to 
the  place  in  order  of  numbers  where  such  further  history  is  to 
be  found :  for  example,  on  page  39,  after  the  mention  of 
EBENEZER  (33),  as  one  of  the  children  of  HEZEKIAH  (26),  is 
the   reference   in   parenthesis,   ,!  [after   242]  "  ;    on    turning   to

number  242  in  regular  order,  (p.  62,)  the  history  of  Ebenezer 
and  the  names  of  his  children  will  be  found,  succeeding  such 
number. 

When  an  individual  is  so  introduced  a  second  time,  his 
original  number  is  repeated,  in  large  figures,  in  a  line  by  itself. 

The  small  figure  at  the  right  of  the  head  of  a  family,  indi- 
cates the  number  of  his  generation,  George  Weekes  being 
reckoned  as  first. 

The  names  in  parentheses,  following  the  head  of  a  family, 
show  (in  reverse  order)  the  line  of  descent  from  George 
Weekes.  In  some  cases,  instead  of  the  line  of  ancestry, 
reference  is  made  to  the  father  or  to  a  brother  only,  (thus,  "  s. 
of  preceding,"  "  bro.  of  preceding,"),  when  the  record  of  such 
relative  has  just  been  given,  with  little  or  no  interval  between. 

Names  are  given  as  written  by  the  persons  themselves  or  by 
near  relatives,  or  as  found  in  the  records,  even  when  the 
spelling  is  unusual, — except  where  such  spelling  is  evidently 
an  unintentional  error. 

Dates  are  given  as  found  in  the  records  :  the  earlier  dates 
being  "  Old  Style,"  and  the  later,  "  New  Style."  When  the 
year  is  given  thus,  ("  1669-70,")  in  connection  with  dates  from 
January  I  to  March  25,  in  the  earlier  years,  the  first  number 
is  the  year  according  to  Old  Style/  the  other  according  to 
New  Style.  March  was  the  first  month  until  1 75 1  :  January 
was  reckoned  the  first  month  of  1752.  There  is  also  a 
difference  of  eleven  days  between  the  Old  and  the  New : 
August  3,  1 741,  Old  Style,  would  be  August  14  according  to 
New  Style. 

Sometimes  there  has  been  found  a  conflict  of  authorities  in 
regard  to  dates  :  in  some  such  cases,  preference  has  been  given 
to  the  one  that  seemed  to  be  sustained  by  the  best  evidence  ; 
in  others,  both  are  given. 


TREFACE.  13 

Some  errors  in  names  and  dates  have  no  doubt  been  made, 
the  sources  of  information  being  imperfect ;  but  the  effort  has 
been  made  to  secure  as  great  a  measure  of  accuracy  as  prac- 
ticable, and  it  is  believed  that  few  mistakes  of  importance  will 
be  found.*  The  author  will  be  grateful  for  information  of  any- 
such  that  may  be  detected.  Such  errors  as  have  been  found 
while  the  work  has  been  going  through  the  press,  are  noted  in 
the  Errata,  at  the  end  of  the  book. 

A  number  of  ancient  documents  connected  with  the  history 
of  the  family,  have  been  found,  literal  copies  of  which  are 
inserted. 

The  original  signatures  of  George  Weekes  and  his  wife,  and 
of  a  number  of  their  early  descendants,  have  been  discovered, 
and  fac-similes  will  be  found  in  their  appropriate  places. 

Such  information  as  has  been  obtained  in  regard  to  other 
families  of  the  name, — whether  early  settlers  or  more  recent 
comers, — is  given,  though  in  many  cases  but  fragmentary. 
The  family  of  Thomas,  of  Huntington,  L.  I.,  is  given  with  a 
good  degree  of  fulness;  also  those  of  THOMAS,  of  Hardwick, 
Cornelius,  of  Ware,  and  Roland,  of  Petersham,  (descend- 
ants from  John,  of  Falmouth,  Mass.) 

Abbreviations  used  are  as  follows:  b.  born;  bp.  baptized; 
bro.  brother;  d.  daughter,  died;  g.  grand;  1.  lived,  lives; 
m.  married;  prob.  probably;  pub.  published;  r.  removed; 
s.  sister,  sou  ;  w.  wife  ;  wd.  widozv. 

A  few  blank  leaves  are  inserted  at  the  end,  for  the  use  of 
such  as  may  wish  to  continue  the  records  of  their  own 
immediate  families. 


*  It  may  be  noticed  by  any  who  should  compare  the  data  given  in  Savage's  Genealogi- 
cal Dictionary,  with  those  found  in  this  work,  that  there  are  some  discrepancies.  In  all 
such  cases— except  the  dates  of  baptisms— the  author  has  been  guided  by  original 
records,  examined  by  himself  personally  :  the  dates  of  baptisms  were  copied  for  him  by 
Wm.  B.  Trask,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  from  the  original  church  records.

DERIVATION   AND    HISTORY 


Weekes,  Weeks,  Wekes,  Wikes,  Wykes,  Wicks,  Wickes, 
Wyckes,  Wycks,  Wix,  Week,  Wick,  Wicke,  Wvche,  Wyck, 
Wyke,  Weick,  Weik,  de  Wike,  de  Wyke,  Van  Wyck, 
VlCK,  etc., — are  but  different  forms  of  the  same  name,  or 
names  of  like  origin  ;  taking  their  rise  from  the  Saxon  wic, 
wj>c,  wick,  or  widie,  and  related  forms  in  other  European  lan- 
guages,— akin  to  the  Latin  vicus,  (village),  and  the  Greek  oikos, 


t8  weekes— weeks. 

anciently  foikos  (house), — and  having  a  wide  range  of  applica- 
tion, the  general  signification  being,  a  dwelling-place*  This 
element  is  found  in  composition  in  such  names  as,  Berwick, 
Warwick,  Highweek,  Norwich,  Wickham,  Wickford.  Wyke- 
ham,  Wickington,  etc. 

The  name,  in  some  of  its  various  forms,  is  of  great  antiquity 
in  England,  and  is  borne  by  families  between  some  of  which 
there  is  no  connection. f  The  early  emigrants  to  this  country, 
bearing  the  name,  appear  to  have  been  mainly,  if  not  entirely, 
from  the  south  of  England,  and  were  probably  from  among  its 
gentry  and  yeomanry  of  Norman  origin.  They  were  generally 
men  of  enterprise, — some  being  also  men  of  culture  and  of 
means,  who  at  once  assumed  positions  of  honor  and  influence. 
Some  of  these  were  no  doubt  nearly  related  to  each  other,  as 
indicated  by  traditions  among  their  descendants,  as  well  as 
by  marked  likeness  of  physical  and  mental  characteristics. 

GEORGE   WEEKES, 

One  of  the  early  Puritan  settlers  of  Dorchester,  in  the  Massa- 
chusetts Bay  Colony,  is  said  by  the  early  chroniclers  to  have 
been  of  "  an  ancient  and  honorable  Devonshire  family,"  whose 
original  name  was  Wrey,  and  whose  seat,  in  the  latter  part  of 
the  14th  century,  was  at  North  Wyke,  in  Tawton  Hundred, 
about  twenty  miles  westerly  from  the  city  of  Exeter. 


*  Some  ingenious  student  of  names  has  given  a  curious  but  improbable  derivation 
of  the  name  Weeks  from  William,  thus:  William,  Will,  Wilkin  (i.  e.  little  Will), 
Wilkins,  Wilkes,  Weelkes,  Weekes,  Weeks. 

t  An  inscription  on  a  brass  tablet  in  the  floor  of  St.  Clement's  church,  Hastings,  Sus- 
sex, England,  still  to  be  seen,  indicates  the  burial  place  of  Thomas  Wekes,  who  died  in 
1163.  Thomas  Wykes  was  bailiff  of  Hastings  in  1651.  William  de  Wike  held  a 
knight's  fee  in  Kent  in  1166.  William  and  Gerard  de  Wyke  lived  in  Kent  about  fifty 
years  later.  In  1335,  Sir  Stephen  de  Wike  was  living  at  Canterbury.  In  1347,  Stephen 
de  Wyke  was  at  Wyke,  Westgate,  Kent.  The  following  also  were  of  Kent:  Thomas 
Wyke,  syndic  of  Poor  Priests'  Hospital,  Canterbury,  1373;  John  Wykes,  Esq.,  1395; 
Richard  Wyke,  1403  ;  John  and  Thomas  Wyke,  1412 ;  Edmund  Wykes,  in  list  of 
gentry,  1428;  John  and  William  Weeks,  gent.,  in  time  of  Charles  I.  Others  were  in 
Sussex,  Somerset,  Berks,  Herefordshire,  Gloucestershire,  Yorkshire.  Sir  Peter  Wyche, 
of  Somerset,  was  ambassador  to  the  Grand  Signor  in  1627. 


WEEKES — WEEKS.  19 

There  is  a  tradition  that  the  family  of  George  Weekes  was 
of  Huguenot  origin  ;  another,  that  its  descent  is  from  Dutch 
refugees  from  the  persecutions  of  the  Duke  of  Alva.  But  if 
he  was  of  the  Devonshire  family,  these  traditions  would  appear 
to  have  no  foundation  ;  for  this  family  has  a  history  reaching 
far  back  of  the  era  of  either  Huguenots  or  the  Duke  of  Alva. 

In  the  absence  of  certain  knowledge  of  the  birthplace  or 
English  residence  or  line  of  descent,  of  George  Weekes, — it 
seems  proper  to  give  such  facts  as  have  been  learned  in  regard 
to  the  history  of  the  name  in  Devonshire.  These  facts  have 
been  obtained  in  part  from  personal  examination  of  some  of 
the  histories  mentioned,  and  have  been  in  part  kindly  furnished 
by  W.  Hill  Budgett,  Esq.,  of  Bristol,  England,  who  is  con- 
nected with  the  family  in  England,  and  who  has  enjoyed 
peculiar  facilities  for  procuring  information  in  regard  to  its 
history.  The  name  of  the  family  appears  in  the  records 
referred  to,  in  a  variety  of  forms :  Wyke,  Wykes,  Wike,  Wikes, 
Week,  Weeks,  Weekes. 

In  an  account  of  the  WREY  family,  in  Playfair's  British 
Antiquities,  the  earliest  name  given  is  that  of 

Uobm  It  »rcg, 

who  married  Sybil  Abbott,  and  who  was  living  in  1 1 35 ,  the 
first  year  of  King  Stephen.*  He  was  succeeded  by  William 
(m.  Alice  Kelly),  Elias,  Elias  (m.  Joanna  Holwaye),  Richard 
(m.  Alice  Norris),  Stephen,  Thomas  (m.  Elizabeth  Yeo), 
Walter.  Walter  had  a  daughter  Jane,  who  m.  John  Wykes,  of 
Cocktree,  who  was  a  relation  of  the  family,  and  had  taken  the 
name  of  Wykes. f  Their  son  Roger  held  a  fourth  part  of  a 
knight's  fee  in  Wyke  Chavleigh,  in  the   barony  of  Oakhamp- 


*  The  name  of  Robert  le  Wrey  indicates  a  Norman  origin  :  his  father  probably  came 
to  England  with  William  the  Conqueror. 

f  Westcote,  in  History  of  Devonshire,  in  1630,  makes  a  similar  statement,     Sir  Win. 
Pole  gives  the  original  name  of  John  Wykes  as  Burnell,

ton,  in  1346.  The  possessions  of  the  Wrey  family  are  said  by 
this  author  to  have  been  of  great  extent. * 

The  same  writer  states  that  the  Wrey  family,  in  some  of  its 
branches,  is  descended  from  Charlemagne,  through  Louis  le 
Debonair,  the  Emperor  Charles  of  Germany,  the  Baldwins 
(Earls  of  Flanders),  William  the  Conqueror,  and  his  successors 
to  Edward  III.  Domesday  Book  (1068-1071)  gives  the  name 
of  Viscount  Baldwin  as  holding  lands  in  "  Wiche,"  Tawton 
Hundred,  Devonshire. f 

Sir  William  Pole  (or  Poole),  who  died  in  1635,  in  "  Col- 
lections toward  a  Description  of  the  County  of  Devon,"  gives 
the  following  account  of  the  North  Wyke  family: 

The  family  of  Wrey  was  originally  of  Wrey  Barton,  in  the 
parish  of  Moreton  Hampstead  ;  they  also  held  North  Russell, 
and  North  Wyke. 

WILLIAM  LE  Wrey:};  held  the  fourth  part  of  a  knight's  fee 
in  North  Wyke,  parish  of  South  Tawton,  27th  Henry  III, 
1242.  From  him  followed  Walter  (1277),  Roger,  Walter, 
Roger,  who  in  1345  held  a  fourth  part  of  a  knight's  fee  in 
North  Wyke,  of  the  barony  of  Oakhampton.  He  had  son 
WILLIAM,  who  married  Katharine,  daughter  and  co-heiress  of 
John  Burnell,  of  Cocktree,  South  Tawton,  and  who,  in  time  of 
Richard  II  (1377-1399)  assumed  the  name  of  Wykes.  By  this 
marriage  he  became  possessed  of  Cocktree,  and  of  Ilton  Manor. 


*  Other  localities  in  the  neighborhood  bore  the  names,  East  Week  (or  Wyke),  West 
Week,  Weektown  (i.  e.  Wickington),  High  Week,  etc.  (See  Westcote's  Devonshire, 
1630:   Polwhele's  Devonshire,  1792.) 

tThe  owners  of  the  lands  in  the  district  termed  "Wiche,"  at  this  time,  were, — the 
Bishop  of  Constance,  Count  Moreton,  Viscount  Baldwin,  Robert  de  Albemarle, 
Radulfus  de  Pomerei,  Odo,  and  Eldred;  the  last  two  being  "thanes."  The  lands  of  all 
these  except  Eldred,  were  occupied  by  tenants,  whose  names  were, — Brismar,  Ordulf, 
Rainer,  Ednod  (sub-tenant  under  Rainer),  Ulveron  (described  as  "libera  femina,"  a  free 
woman),  Alward,  Brictric. 

jPolwhele  (Hist,  of  Dev.  1792)  says:  "  North  Week  was  (says  Risdon)  the  land  of 
William  de  Wigorin  (or  Chamberlain)  in  the  reign  of  Henry  III.,  whose  posterity 
assumed  the  name  of  Week,  from  their  dwelling.  *  *  *  John  Week  sold  North  Week 
to  George  Hunt,  on  whose  death  (about  1630)  the  lands  were  divided  between  Luxton 
and  Clapp,  who  married  relations  of  Hunt."  [Wigorin  is  probably  but  another  form  of 
Wrey.1

The  following  account  of  the  Honeychurch  branch  is  taken 
in  part  from  the  record,  in  the  Royal  College  of  Arms,  at 
London,  of  the  Visitation  of  Devonshire  by  the  Heralds,  in 
1620,  and  partly  from  more  recent  family  records. 

Sir    Richard    Weekes,^:    of    Honeychurch,    married    

Carey,  or  Cary,  of  Clovelly,  Devon,  by  whom  he  had  Richard, 
who  had  Richard  and  Symon.  Richard  had  one  daughter,  but

leigh,  Devon,  and  had  Ann,  Matilda,  Symon,  John,  William

*  He  appears  to  have  been  contemporaneous  with  Sir  Richard,  of  Honeychurch  (men- 
tioned later  on  this  page),  and  may  have  been  the  same  person. 

t  Perhaps  the  same  with  William  who  was  living  at  the  Visitation  of  Devon  by  the 
heralds  in  1563:  the  locality  is  termed  "  Northwick  "  in  the  record.

Sir  William  Pole  mentions  Sir  Amidas  de  Wike  as  living  in 
Devonshire  in  the  time  of  Henry  III  (12 16-1273),  wno  had 
son  Lawrence,  who  had  sons  Walter,  Richard,  William,  and 
others.  He  also  mentions  William  Wikes,  as  having  been 
chosen  Recorder  of  the  city  of  Exeter  in  1360. 

The  coat  of  arms  of  Wykes,  of  North  Wyke,  also  of  Wykes 
of  Cocktree  and  Weekes  of  Honeychurch,  is  described  in 
Burke's  Heraldry  as,  "  Ermine,  three  battle-axes  sable  "  :  the 
crest,  "  an  arm  embowed,  in  armor  proper,  holding  a  battle-ax 
gules."'5*  The  mottos,  or  legends,  are  :  "  Cari  Deo  nihilo 
carent,"  (Those  dear  to  God  lack  nothing) ;  "  Vitae  via  virtus," 
(The  way  of  life,  virtue) ;  "  Prsesta  et  persta,"  (Stand  first,  and 
stand  firm). 

The  records  of  the  North  Wyke  and  Honeychurch  branches 
of  the  family,  as  above  given,  are  evidently  not  complete  ;  and 
while  the  name  of  George  is  not  found  in  these  records  prior 
to  the  emigration  to  New  England,  this  fact  does  not  invali- 
date the  claim  that  George,  of  Dorchester,  was  of  this  family. 


*  Ermine,  a  white  field  with  black  spots  ;  sable,   black  ;    embowed,  bent ;   prober,  of 
natural  color  ;  gules,  red. 


24  WEEKES— WEEKS. 

It  is  quite  possible  that  he  was  descended  from  William,  of 
Exeter ;  as  Roger  Clap,  whose  sister  was  the  wife  of  George 
Weekes,  was  a  resident  of  that  city  some  time  before  his 
coming  to  this  country  in  1630.  But  this  William  was  prob- 
ably of  the  North  Wyke  family.  Symon,  emigrant  in  1634, 
(of  whom,  however,  no  trace  has  been  found  in  this  country,) 
is  noted  as  of  Exeter. 

There  is  now  no  trace  of  the  family  at  Honeychurch  ;  and 
North  Wyke  is  not  now  the  designation  of  any  locality  in  the 
neighborhood.  Investigations  made  personally  by  W.  Hill 
Budgett,  Esq.  (before  mentioned),  and  by  John  A.  Weekes, 
Esq.,  of  New  York  City,  have  resulted  as  stated.  Many 
records  and  monuments  were  destroyed  during  the  civil  wars. 

An  account  of  the  Wykes  family  of  Herefordshire  is  found 
in  the  "Visitation  of  Herefordshire,  A.  D.  1569,"  in  the 
Harleian  MSS.  in  the  British  Museum  ;  beginning  with  Will- 
iam,* who  lived  early  in  the  15th  century.  Some  descendants 
lived  in  Somerset,  also  some  in  London. 

As  the  early  family  traditions,  as  well  as  the  statements  of 
the  early  historians,  claim  that  GEORGE  WEEKES  was  from 
Devonshire, — as  the  earliest  immigrants  wrote  the  name 
WEEKES, — as  no  trace  has  been  found  of  any  other  than  the 
Devonshire  family  and  its  branches  in  England  using  this 
form, — and  as  no  contradictory  evidence  has  been  found, — his 
connection  with  this  family  is  assumed,  and  its  coat  of  arms 
appropriated  as  a  suitable  heading  to  this  chapter.  The 
battle-axes  on  the  escutcheon,  and  the  blood-stained  ax  held 
aloft  by  a  mailed  arm,  constitute  a  decidedly  warlike  emblem  ; 
and  down  to  this  day,  through  the  centuries  that  have  elapsed 
since  its  origin,  there  has  been  found  in  the  family  a  goodly 
measure  of  combativeness,  in  such  manifestations  as  occasion 
has  required.  And  the  regard  for  purity  and  justice,  indicated 
by  the  ermine  ground,  has  not  been  wanting. 


*  Probably  descended  from  Sir Wyke,  a  knight  to  whom  William  the  Conquerer 

granted  land  on  the  Humber.

GEORGE  WEEKES, 


OF 

DORCHESTER.

ux£et 


GEORGE  WEEKES,  from  Devonshire,  England,  (place 
and  date  of  birth  not  known,*)  came  to  Dorchester,  Mass.,  in 
the  same  ship  with  Rev.  Richard  Mather,  in  1635,  five  years 
after  the  original  settlement  in  1630.  There  is  a  tradition, 
that  four  brothers  came  together  ;  that  one  was  drowned  in 
landing  ;  that  one  settled  near  Boston  ;  that  one  went  "  east," 
and  one  "  southwest."  The  known  facts  in  the  histories  of 
GEORGE  of  Dorchester,  and  of  THOMAS  of  Huntington,  L.  I., 
and  Francis  of  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I.,  (who  are  believed  to  have 
been  brothers  of  George,  and  of  whom  some  account  is  herein- 
after given,)  are  substantially  in  harmony  with  this  tradition  : 
the  one  drowned  may  have  been  "  Jo  :  [Joseph]  age  26,"  men- 
tioned in  Chap.  XII  as  an  emigrant  in  1635,  of  whom  no  later 
trace  has  been  found.  George's  wife,  Jane,  was  a  sister  of 
Roger  Clap  (known  afterwards  as  "  Captain  "  Clap),  who  came 
with  the  first  party  of  colonists  in  the  ship  "  Mary  and  John."f 


*  He  is  said  by  one  of  the  historians  of  New  England  to  have  been  "  about  forty  years 
of  age  "  at  the  time  of  his  coming  to  America  ;  and  to  have  brought  two  or  three  child- 
ren with  him.  If  there  were  three  children — as  was  probably  the  case — the  eldest  need 
not  have  been  born  earlier  than  1629 — the  third,  Ammiel,  whose  age  is  known,  having 
been  born  about  1633.  Roger  Clap,  brother-in-law  of  George  Weekes  was  born  April 
6,  1609.  Thomas  Weekes,  of  Huntington,  L.  I.,  was  born  about  1612,  being  23  years  of 
age  at  the  time  of  his  leaving  England,  1635.  Francis  Weekes,  of  Oyster  Bay,  was  born 
about  1616 :  [see  Arnold's  History  of  Rhode  Island,  p.  103.]  In  view  of  these  facts,  it 
seems  reasonable  to  suppose  that  George  Weekes  was  not  over  thirty  years  old  when  he 
came,  instead  of  "  about  forty." 

t  He  was  of  Salcombe  Regis,  about  twelve  miles  east  from  Exeter,  in  Devonshire. 
This  family  may  be  of  Danish  origin  :  Osgod  Clapa  was  a  Danish  noble  at  the  court  of 
Knut  (Canute),  King  of  England  1017-1036. 


28  GEORGE,    OF    DORCHESTER. 

Mr.  Weekes  is  spoken  of  as  "  a  man  in  high  estimation,  of  a 
religious  family."  He  was  evidently  a  man  of  superior  culture 
for  his  time,  and  held  a  prominent  place  in  the  colony.  He 
and  his  wife  were  admitted  to  the  church  Dec.  21,  1639  ;  and 
he  was  "made  ffree "  May  13,  1640.  He  was  one  of  the 
"Seven  Men"  (Selectmen)  of  the  town  in  1645,  1647,  1648, 
and  perhaps  in  other  years  ;  and  was  frequently  appointed  to 
other  positions  of  trust.  He  was  a  surveyor,  as  well  as  a 
farmer ;  and  was  often  placed  on  commissions  to  lay  out  roads, 
to  determine  town  lines  and  farm  boundaries,  etc.  He  was 
one  of  three  trustees  appointed  by  one  Edward  Bullock,  who 
returned  to  England  in  1649,  and  left  his  property  in  the 
colony  to  be  administered  for  the  benefit  of  his  wife  and 
children. 

Mr.  Weekes  appears  to  have  taken  an  especial  interest  in 
the  cause  of  education  ;  his  name  appearing  in  the  town 
records  more  than  once  in  connection  with  the  subject  of  free 
public  schools.  In  the  old  town  records  of  Dorchester,  now 
in  the  office  of  the  City  Clerk,  Boston,  is  recorded  a  convey- 
ance, made  in  1641,  of  Thompson's  Island  to  the  town  for 
school  purposes,  signed  by  seventy  citizens,  of  whom  George 
Weekes  was  one.* 

The  exact  location  of  the  house  and  lands  of  George 
Weekes  is  not  known  :  James  Blake  (b.  1688,  d.  1750),  author 
of  "  Annals  of  Dorchester,"  prepared  a  map  of  the  town, 
showing  the  several  locations  of  the  early  settlers  ;  which  map 
was  on  one  occasion  produced  in  court  for  reference,  since 
which  no  trace  of  it  has  been  found. 

William  T.  Carlton,  Esq.,  of  Dorchester,  (now  living,)  has 
drawn  up  a  map  showing  the  location  of  some  of  the  lands  of 


*  A  fac-simile  of  his  signature  to  this  document  (which  was  the  best  one  of  the  seventy) 
is  found  at  the  head  of  this  chapter,  and  in  the  dedication.  The  fac-simile  on  the  title- 
page  is  that  of  a  signature  made  in  16^4.  His  autographs  are  found  in  the  town  records 
referred  to,  on  pages  62,  137,  402,  405,  406.  The  fac-simile  of  the  autograph  of  his  wife 
Jane,  is  taken  from  her  signature  to  a  document  dated  in  1658,  now  on  file  in  the  State 
House  at  Boston.  Hers  is  the  best  of  the  twenty-eight  signatures  of  women  in  this 
paper. 


GEORGE,    OF    DORCHESTER.  29 

the  early  settlers.  According  to  this  map,  George  Weekes 
owned  part  of  "  Lot  No.  19  "  (the  whole  being  20  a.,  2  q.,  23  r.) 
in  the  "  first  division  "  of  the  "  Cow  Walk."  The  south  line 
of  this  lot  corresponded  with  what  is  now  the  north  line  of 
Harvard  street,  and  extended  from  a  point  at  or  near  the 
junction  of  Harvard  and  School  streets,  1,320  feet  (a  quarter 
of  a  mile)  westerly, — such  south  line  being  now  intersected 
nearly  in  the  middle  by  the  N.  Y.  &  N.  E.  R.  R.,  and  is  within 
a  few  steps  of  the  Harvard  street  station  of  the  said  road.  Lot 
No.  19  was  owned  by  George  Weekes  and  four  others  ;  and  his 
share  is  supposed  to  have  been  the  southern  portion,  bounded 
on  the  south  by  what  is  now  Harvard  street.  It  will  be  seen, 
from  the  inventory  of  his  estate  (Appendix  A.  1)  that  he 
owned  several  other  tracts  of  land.  The  one  above  described 
was  probably  the  "  home  lot."  The  author  visited  this  spot 
in  September,  1884;  also  two  large  rocks  about  half  a  mile 
west  (in  West  Roxbury  Park),  on  which  no  doubt  the  Weekes 
boys  played  more  than  two  centuries  ago  ;  also  drank  from  a 
spring  near  by,  where  the  boys  of  the  olden  time  often  slaked 
their  thirst. 

In  the  will  of  John  Greenaway,  1652,  his  house  lot  of  "  five 
acres  more  or  less,"  is  described  as  lying  "  between  George 
Weekes  on  the  west  and  Richard  Leeds  on  the  east." 

George  Weekes  died  Dec.  28,  1650,  as  appears  from  the 
original  inventory  of  his  estate  now  on  file  in  the  Probate 
Office  at  Boston  ;  a  copy  of  which,  made  by  the  author,  is 
given  in  the  Appendix  (A.  1.).  His  widow  married  Jonas 
Humphrey,  as  his  second  wife  ;  he  died  March  19,  1662  ;  she 
died  August  2,  1668,  leaving  a  will,  a  copy  of  which  is  herein- 
after given  :  (Appendix  A.  2.) 

The  spelling  of  the  name  was  changed  to  Weeks  in  the 
course  of  one  or  two  generations  ;  it  is  so  spelled  on  the 
gravestone  of  Ammiel  Weeks,  in  1679  ;  also  in  the  signatures 
of  the  sons  of  Ammiel,  in  a  document  in  the  Appendix. 
Ammiel  himself  wrote  the  name  as  did  his  father  ;  and  the 


30  GEORGE,    OF    DORCHESTER. 

ancient  spelling  is  retained  to  this  day  in  the  Harwich  branch 
of  the  family.  The  descendants  of  Barber  (32),  son  of  Heze- 
kiah  (26),  write  the  name  Wicks ;  their  progenitor,  Barber, 
having  so  spelled  the  name  in  consequence  of  being  told  that 
such  was  the  correct  form,  and  the  children  not  thinking  it 
worth  while,  when  informed  of  the  mistake,  to  correct  it.  It 
is  to  be  regretted  that  the  older  and  correct  form  of  the  name 
— WEEKES — has  been  displaced  by  abbreviated  forms ;  and  it 
is  hoped  that  some  of  the  descendants  of  George  VVeekes  who 
will  learn  from  this  work  how  the  name  should  be  written,  will 
help  to  correct  the  error,  at  least  in  part. 

A  part  of  the  house  in  which  George  Weekes  and  family 
probably  sojourned  until  they  had  one  of  their  own,  (being  the 
house  built  by  Roger  Clap,  brother  of  Jane  Weekes),  is  still 
standing  in  Willow  Court,  Dorchester,  and  was  visited  by  the 
author,  Sept.  11,  1883. 

The  descendants  of  George  Weekes,  of  the  earlier  genera- 
tions, settled  in  the  eastern  and  central  parts  of  Massachusetts, 
in  portions  of  which  state  many  of  the  family  are  found  at 
this  day.  One  greatgrandson  removed  to  Pomfret,  Conn.,  but 
his  descendants  left  that  state  about  a  hundred  years  since. 
Branches  of  the  family  are  now  found  in  nearly  all  the 
Northern,  Middle  and  Western  states;  and  there  are  a  few  in 
Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Missouri,  Louisiana,  and  the  District  of 
Columbia. 

While  some  have  been  graduates  of  colleges,  and  a  few  have 
become  clergymen,  physicians,  lawyers,  etc., — a  large  propor- 
tion have  been  farmers,  many  have  been  mechanics,  a  goodly 
number  have  been  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits,  and  many 
members  of  the  Cape  Cod  and  Maine  branches  have  been  sea- 
faring men. 

It  is  a  noteworthy  fact,  that  the  clergymen  (five  in  number) 
were  very  nearly  related  to  each  other :  Rev.  William  R. 
Weeks,  D.  D.  (695),  his  brother  Rev.  David  J.  Weeks  (696), 
their   nephew    Rev.  Joseph   Weeks    (701),  their   cousin    Rev. 


GEORGE,   OF   DORCHESTER.  3  I 

Holland  Weeks  (775),  and  the  son  of  another  cousin,  Rev. 
George  A.  Weeks  (825).  The  first  and  third  were  ordained 
as  Presbyterians,  the  second  and  fourth  as  Congregationalists, 
and  the  last  as  a  minister  of  the  Protestant   Episcopal  Church. 

While  of  various  shades  of  theological  belief, — "  orthodox  " 
and  "  heterodox," — the  members  of  the  family  have  been  in 
general,  so  far  as  known,  people  of  good  character,  and  useful 
in  a  quiet  way  in  the  communities  in  which  their  lot  has  been 
cast  ;  many  of  them  holding  positions  of  trust,  both  secular 
and  ecclesiastical.  Thus  far,  the  author  has  not  learned  of  any 
who  have  been  especially  a  disgrace  to  the  family  ;  the  nearest 
approach  to  it  was  the  case  of  one  poor  fellow  about  two 
hundred  years  ago  who  was  charged  with  having  appropriated 
a  cheese  that  did  not  belong  to  him.  It  ought  not  to  be 
thought  strange,  if  in  a  flock  of  so  many  hundreds,  a  few 
should  have  come  short  of  what  is  altogether  commendable  ; 
but,  on  the  whole,  the  author's  investigations  have  confirmed 
him  in  the  belief  that  the  descendants  of  George  Weekes  have 
a  right  to  a  just  pride  in  their  ancestors. 

While  few  have  been  very  poor,  and  while  only  a  very  small 
number  have  become  wealthy, — whether  poor  or  otherwise,  no 
ignis  fattens  of  an  "  estate  in  England  "  awaiting  claimants 
appears  to  have  disturbed  their  contentment. 

The  general  type  of  the  family,  as  to  physical  characteristics, 
may  be  described  as  follows :  of  good  stature,  though  not  very 
tall ;  with  light  complexion,  brown  hair,  sandy  beard,  blue  or 
bluish-gray  eyes,  short  nose,  eyebrows  somewhat  prominent. 
Mental  and  moral  characteristics :  temperament  distinctly 
intellectual,  not  passionate  ;  of  decided,  self-formed  opinions, 
expressed  readily  ;  well-informed,  even  when  not  "  liberally  " 
educated  ;  wearing  lightly  the  bonds  of  party,  theological  or 
political ;  not  greatly  ambitious,  but  interested  in  whatever 
concerns  the  public  welfare  ;  friendly  and  social,  with  a  good 
sense  of  humor,  though  rather  of  the  passive  than  the  active 
kind  ;  domestic  in  tastes  and  habits  ;    deferential  to  woman  ; 


32  GEORGE,    OF   DORCHESTER. 

with  a  strong  sense  of  obligation,  and  faith  in  ideals  ;  lacking 
the  artistic  impulse  ;  and  with  the  esthetic  side  of  the  nature 
less  developed  than  any  other.  Individuals,  of  course,  vary- 
widely  in  their  make-up,  inheriting  traits  from  the  mother  as 
well  as  from  the  father ;  but  there  does  appear  to  be  a  distinct 
family  type,  with  qualities  substantially  as  stated. 

The  children  of  GEORGE  and  Jane  Weekes  were : 

i.  William,  b.  in  England:  [III.] 

2.  Jane,+  probably  b.  in  England  ;  m.  Benjamin  Bates,  of  Hingham  ;  he 
d.  Nov.  28,  1678  ;  and  in  June,  1679,  she  m. Paine,  of  Boston. 

3.  Ammiel,  b.  in  England,  1632  or  1633  :  [IV. J 

4.  JOSEPH,  b.  Dorchester,  Mass.,  date  unknown  :  [IX.] 


*  Jane  was  probably  older  than  Ammiel,  but  whether  older  or  younger  than  William, 
is  not  known.  As  the  first  child  of  William  was  born  Feb.,  1651-2,  he  was  probably 
enough  older  than  Ammiel  to  admit  of  another  between  them ;  so  I  have  ventured  to 
place  Jane  in  the  gap.

WILLIAM,  OF   DORCHESTER.

WILLIAM,2  {George),  b.  in  England,  probably  about  1628-9, 
was  "  admitted  to  ffreedome  and  tooke  his  oathe,"  May  3, 
1665.  There  is  no  record  of  his  admission  to  the  church  ;  his 
wife  was  admitted  at  the  same  time  with  his  brother  Ammiel 
and  wife — May  18,  1656.  Land  was  granted  him  by  the  town 
in  1652  ;  in  the  same  year  he  was  paid  for  certain  writing  done 
for  the  town.  He  was  fence-viewer  in  1653  and  in  other  years. 
In  1664,  (about  four  years  after  the  "  Restoration,")  he,  with 
his  brothers  Ammiel  and  Joseph,  and  about  a  hundred  others, 
signed  a  petition  to  the  "  General  Court  "  (z.  e.,  Legislature), 
requesting  that  measures  be  taken  to  have  the  rights  and 
privileges  of  the  people  confirmed.  <Jn  1674,  he  was  chosen 
"  Clerk  of  the  Writs,"  and  Registrar  of  Births,  Marriages  and 
Deaths  ;  and  was  the  "  bold  innovator "  who  restored  the 
practice  of  designating  the  months  by  the  "  heathen  "  names, 
instead  of  numbers.  He  held  these  offices  at  the  time  of  his 
death,  which  took  place  December  13,  1677, — his  will  having 
been  made  three  days  before.*  His  widow,  Elizabeth, f  mar- 
ried Timothy  Mather  as  his  second  wife,  March  20,  1678-9. 
On  the  17th  of  September,  1680,  she,  as  executrix  for  her  late 
husband,   William    Weekes,   conveyed  certain  lands    to  Capt-

t  She  may  have  been  a  daughter  of  Humphrey  Atherton.  Savage,  in  Geneal.  Diet,  of 
N.  E.,  says  that  Atherton  had  a  daughter  "  Catherine,  sometimes  called  Elizabeth,"  who

Mather  in  1678-9,  Mr.  Savage  may  have  supposed  that  he  had  married  but  one  d.  of 
Atherton,  and  that  she  was  known  by  both  names  ;  while  the  truth  was,  that  if  Elizabeth 
was  a  d.  of  Atherton,  he  had  m.  the  two  sisters  in  succession.

t  It  is  interesting  to  note,  that  it  was  customary  to  have  children  baptized  very  soon 
after  birth  :  perhaps  from  the  notion, — still  entertained  by  some, — that  baptism  is  neces- 
sary to  salvation.

IV. 
AMMIEL  WEEKES, 


OF 

DORCHESTER. 


SON  OF  GEORGE. 


IV 


— 3.— 

AMMIEL,2*  (son  of  George^)  b.  in  England  in  1633,  was 
admitted  to  the  church  in  Dorchester,  with  his  wife  Eliza- 
beth,! May  18,  1656;  was  "made  ffree  and  took  his  oathe  " 
May  6,  1657.  The  earliest  mention  in  the  town  records  of  his 
holding  land,  is  in  1657.  He  was  a  constable  in  1673  ;  was 
one  of  a  commission  to  run  a  town  line  in  1673,  again  in  1674 
and  1678  ;  he  held  other  positions  of  trust  at  different  times. 
It  would  appear  from  the  inventory  of  his  estate  (Appendix, 
A.  5)  that  he  inherited  the  profession  of  land  surveyor  from 
his  father.  He  died  April  20,  1679,  aged  46.  His  wife  Eliza- 
beth was  administrator  of  his  estate.     On  the  13th  of  January, 


*The  above  is  a  fac-simile  of  his  autograph,  of  date  March  23,  1669-70,  on  page  213 
of  the  Dorchester  town  records,  now  in  the  office  of  the  City  Clerk,  Boston.  The  fac- 
simile of  her  signature  is  taken  from  her  bond  as  administrator  of  his  estate,  for  copy  of 
which  see  Appendix,  A.  4. 

t  A  manuscript  in  the  handwriting  of  the  father  of  the  author,  states  that  her  maiden 
name' was  Gore,  and  that  she  was  the  first  child  born  in  Boston.  Both  statements  are 
erroneous.  There  was  no  family  named  Gore  in  Boston  at  that  time  :  John  Gore,  the 
first  settler  of  the  name,  lived  in  Roxbury,  and  had  no  daughter  Elizabeth.  The  only 
birth  mentioned  in  the  Boston  records  of  a  child  named  Elizabeth,  who  could  have  been 
in  the  90th  year  of  her  age  in  1723  (as  was  the  case  with  the  wife  of  Ammiel,)  is  that  of 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  William  and  Elizabeth  Aspinwall,  b.  Sept.  30,  1633  ;  and  she  was 
not  the  first  child  born  in  Boston. 

(_Vu  iCCuisyyv  fl^-pist-twc^vE^  was,  in  1629,  deacon  of  the  church  at  Charlestown, 
whence  he  removed  early  to  Boston.  Taking  an  active  part  in  behalf  of  Mrs.  Anne 
Hutchinson,  (who  was  condemned  and  banished  from  the  colony  on  account  of  her 
religious  views,)  he  was  disfranchised,  disarmed  and  banished.  He  went  to  Rhode 
Island,  and  was  the  first  Secretary  of  that  colony.  In  1642  he  returned  to  Boston,  and 
was  reconciled  to  the  church  and  state.  He  afterwards  returned  to  England,  where  he 
died.  The  fact  that  Peter  Aspinwall — probably  a  near  relative  of  William,  perhaps 
brother  or  son — was  one  of  the  sureties  on  the  bond  of  Elizabeth  Weekes,  (above 
referred  to,)  gives  color  to  the  theory  that  she  was  the  daughter  of  William  Aspinwall.

1718-19,  at  age  85,  she  testified  in  regard  to  the  identification 
of  property  of  John  Glover,  and,  on  account  of  infirmity  from 
sickness  or  from  age,  signed  by  affixing  her  mark  O.  She  died 
April  10,  1723,  in  her  90th  year.

Ammiel  and  his  wife,  now  standing  in  the  southwest  part  of 
the  old  graveyard  in  Stoughton  street,  near  Upham's  corner,

The  location  of  the  land  of  Ammiel  Weekes  has  not  been 
.ascertained.  A  tract  including  "  Weekes'  Hill,"  against  which 
Thomas  Davenport's  land  abutted,  is  supposed  to  have 
belonged  to  Ammiel  ;  but  this  has  not  been  identified.

at  Worcester  in  1685  and  6,  in  which  latter  year,  by  deed  of  Jan.  4,  he  and 
wife  Joan  sold  land  in  W.  to  Isaac  Bull,  and  to  have  gone  thence  to  Enfield 
(now  in  Conn.,  then  within  the  jurisdiction  of  Mass.)  He  was  one  of  a 
company  who  made  a  settlement  at  Northfield,  taking  the  home-lot  and 
meadow  originally  set  off  to  Eleazer  Warner,  who  had  forfeited  his  claim. 
In  1688  he  appears  to  have  held  a  lot  of  "  about  7  acres  "  in  "  Wells  plain," 
on  the  east  side  of  and  bounded  west  by  "  the  great  river."  He  made  a 
will— date  not  found — by  which  he  gives  all  his  estate  to  his  wife  during  her 
life,  "  for  her  comfort,"  then  what  she  leaves  at  her  death  to  his  "  kinswoman 
Elizabeth  Williams  and  her  heirs  forever  "  :  the  name  of  the  wife  not  being 
mentioned.  He  died  at  Enfield,  probably  not  having  yet  removed  to  North- 
field.     His  inventory  was  taken  July  29,  1690,  and  the  will  probated  Sept.

30.  His  widow  died  Aug.  12,  1690,  and  an  account  of  "  such  things  as  were 
not  taken  in  his  inventory,"  was  made,  and  filed  at  the  same  time  with  the 
probate  of  his  will.  As  his  will  makes  no  mention  of  any  children,  the 
obvious  inference  is,  that  there  were  none.  The  West  Northfield  family, 
some  account  of  which  is  given  elsewhere,  (Ch.  X,)  could  not  therefore 
have  been  descended  from  him.

GEORGE,4  {Ammiel,  Ammiel,  George^)  b.  Dorchester,  March 
20,  1689  ;  r.  to  Boston,  and  thence  in  17 14  to  Harwich,  Barn- 
stable Co.  He  m.  Oct.  15,  17 14,  Deborah  (b.  May,  1687),  d.  of 
Ananias  Wing.r  He  was  dismissed  from  the  Old  South 
Church,  Boston,  March  27,  1720,  and  joined  the  church  at 
Harwich,  "  North  Side,"  (now  Brewster,)  then  under  the  care 
of  Rev.  Nathaniel  Stone.  He  afterward  removed  to  the  south 
part  of  the  town,  where  many  of  his  descendants  now  live, 
and  where  he  carried  on  a  farm. 

He  was  not  "  liberally"  educated,  but  was  well  versed  in  the 
theological  books  of  the  day,  and  was  very  familiar  with  the 
Scriptures.  In  1730,  though  not  "  ordained  "  by  human  hands, 
he  commenced  preaching  to  the  Indians,  who  were  located 
toward  the  south  shore,  and  far  removed  from  the  meeting- 
house, which  was  on  the  north  side  of  the  parish  of  twenty- 
three  square  miles.  Mr.  W.  built  a  house  of  worship  for  the 
Indians,  at  his  own  expense.  Notwithstanding  these  facts,  the 
pastor,  Mr.  Stone,  objected,  but  does  not  appear  to  have 
insisted  on  a  discontinuance.  Learning,  however,  that  Mr.  W. 
had  on  one  or  more  occasions  preached  to  some  of  his  white 
neighbors, — who  no  doubt  were  glad  to  assemble  occasionally 
on  a  week-day  or  a  stormy  Sabbath,  for  religious  instruction 


*  The  above  is  a  fac-simile  of  the  autograph  of  George  Weekes,  as  signed  to  a  petition 
in  his  handwriting,  dated  Oct.  17,  1726,  to  the  Governor  and  Council,  for  permission  to 
sell  a  part  of  certain  lands  given  to  his  wife  by  her  father.  See  Vol.  45,  Mass.  Archives,

and  conference, — being,  as  they  were,  so  far  removed  from 
their  regular  place  of  Sabbath  worship, — Mr.  Stone  evidently- 
thought  that  the  dignity  and  importance  of  his  office  were  at 
stake,  and  wrote  to  the  "  offender  "  a  letter  of  admonition,  in 
which  he  "  minded  him  of  the  case  of  Uzza  and  Uzziah,  who 
ventured  on  what  belonged  only  to  the  priests."  He  also 
afterwards  complained  to  the  church  in  regard  to  the  matter, 
taking  these  among  other  grounds  :  that  "  the  commission  in 
Matt.  28  :  19  cannot  be  given  to  people  in  common,  but  to 
some  distinguished  qualified  persons  "  ;  that  Mr.  W.  had  "  no 
more  if  so  much  as  early  common  education  "  ;  that  "  the 
making  of  the  ministers  of  the  lowest  of  the  people  is  in  scrip- 
tures disallowed  "  ;  that  he  had  "  thrust  himself  into  the 
ministry  "  ;  that  he  had  "  preached  to  a  people  of  whom  I 
have  the  pastoral  charge,  without  my  leave,  and  against  my 
declared  mind  "  ;  that  if  one  may  preach  to  a  part  of  "  my 
flock,"  another  may  preach  to  another  part,  and  "  what  then 
becomes  of  the  pastoral  office  ?  "  "  yea,  where  is  any  flock  for 
me  to  feed  ?  "  There  does  not  appear  to  have  been  any  charge 
of  want  of  orthodoxy,  or  of  any  attempt  to  injure  the  influ- 
ence of  the  pastor,  or  to  keep  any  of  "  the  flock  "  from  the 
regular  ministrations  of  the  pastor.  How  gladly  would  the 
ministers  of  the  present  day  welcome  such  a  co-laborer  ;  but 
we  should  not  judge  the  men  of  the  past  too  severely  in  the 
light  of  the  present. 

Some  years  later,  Mr.  W.  seems  to  have  taken  pity  upon  an 
unfortunate  woman, — probably  more  sinned  against  than  sin- 
ning,— and  taken  her  with  her  child  into  his  own  house,  giving 
her  shelter  and  employment,  and  treating  her  kindly.  Some 
took  offense  at  this,  and  would  not  come  to  the  Lord's  table 
with  him  ;  in  view  of  which  state  of  feeling  he  absented  him- 
self from  the  communion,  presumably  in  order  not  to  keep 
others  away.  On  being  called  to  account  for  his  absence,  he 
made  explanations  which  were  accepted  by  the  church  as  in  a 
measure   satisfactory  ;  but   at    the   same   time  he  was  advised 


78  GEORGE,    OF   HARWICH. 

"  to  dismiss  the  woman  "  from  his  house,  and  to  "  avoid  her 
conversation  as  much  as  is  convenient,  or  at  least  inform  us  of 
your  reasons  which  prevent  you  from  doing  this  if  you  think 
proper."  There  seems  to  have  been  no  charge  against  him  of 
any  impropriety,  except  so  far  as  his  kindness  to  the  unfortun- 
ate woman  was  deemed  to  be  such  ;  and  whatever  explanation 
he  may  have  made  seems  to  have  been  accepted.  He,  a  plain 
unassuming  man,  was  far  in  advance  of  his  time  in  his  ideas  of 
the  duties  and  privileges  which  belong  to  each  member  of 
Christ's  flock  ;  and  he  appears  to  have  possessed  more  of  the 
spirit  of  his  Master  than  did  some  of  those  who  found  fault 
with  him. 

The  fault  found  with  him  by  the  minister  and  others,  for 
doing  what  he  considered  his  Christian  duty  and  privilege,  in 
regard  to  both  matters,  was  no  doubt  a  principal  cause  of  the 
clouding  of  his  mind  in  the  latter  part  of  his  life,  which  led  to 
aimless  wanderings  about  the  country.  He  died  from  ex- 
posure to  cold  in  the  low  ground  south  of  Harwich  Academy, 
known  from  the  circumstance  as  "  Weekes's  Hollow  "  to  the 
present  day — being  then  over  eighty  years  old.

farmer  ;  owned  a  large  farm.  He  had  his  peculiarities:  one  of 
which  was  a  fondness  for  puzzling  his  listeners  by  ambiguous 
language,  which  he  would  explain  after  enjoying  their  per- 
plexity. He  took  delight  in  coupling  apparent  selfishness  with 
generosity  ;  as  for  example  :  the  minister  passing  his  orchard 
took  an  apple  from  an  over-hanging  limb  ;  Mr.  W.  sent  him  a 
letter  threatening  prosecution  for  the  trespass  ;  on  the  min- 
ister's prompt  apology,  and  asking  how  much  would  satisfy 
him,  he  replied  that  he  would  be  content  with  five  dollars ;  the 
minister  handed  him  the  amount,  which  he  took,  and  immedi- 
ately returned  with  another  bill  of  like  amount.

widow  of  Joseph  Turell,  of  Boston,  (by  whom  she  had  Sarah, 
b.  Oct.,  1679,  and  Humphrey,  b.  May,  1681.)  Joseph  Weeks 
and  his  wife  were  admitted  to  the  church,  June  16,  1693.  He 
was  a  "  webster"  (or  weaver),  by  occupation.  He  was  clerk 
of  a  military  company  in  1689;  a  constable  in  1/11.  His  wife 
d.  Feb.  12,  1735-6;  he  d.  Jan.  8,  1745-6;  his  real  estate  was 
divided  between  his  sons  Joseph  and  Ebenezer,  who  paid  off 
the  shares  of  their  sisters.  The  "home  lot"  corresponded 
with  the  block  now  bounded  by  Washington,  Norfolk,  With- 
ington  and  Euclid  streets,  (except  the  lot  occupied  by  the  old 
Dorchester  Town  Hall,  now  used  as  a  Ward  Room.)  The 
house  was  on  the  east  side,  about  midway  between  Norfolk 
and  Euclid  streets.  The  ''pasture"  of  18  acres,  1  qr.,  25  r., 
and  the  field  of  2  a.,  2  qr.,  24  r.  (named  in  the  inventory  of  his 
estate,  Appendix,  A.  8),  together  formed  a  parallelogram 
(except  an  irregularity  at  the  southeast  corner),  bounded 
easterly  by  what  is  now  Cemetery  street,  northerly  by  a  line 
running  from  Cemetery  street  along  the  south  side  of  the 
Catholic   cemetery  and   so   on   to   Lyons   street,   westerly  by

Lyons  street  and  the  line  of  the  same  southerly  to  Jones 
avenue,  southerly  by  Jones  avenue  and  the  line  of  the  same 
extended  easterly  to  Norfolk  street,  and  southeasterly  by  Nor- 
folk street.  The  "  Dorchester  "  station  of  the  N.  Y.  and  N. 
E.  R.  R.,  is  on  this  tract.  The  field  of  about  i\  acres  occupied 
the  central  one-third  of  the  north  part  of  the  tract,  and 
extended  about  two-fifths  of  the  distance  across  it  toward  the 
south  :  the  stone  wall  which  inclosed  this  field  at  the  time  of 
Joseph  Weeks's  death,  remained  standing  for  about  130  years.* 
The  inscription  on  the  gravestone  of  Mrs.  Weeks,  in  the  old 
Dorchester  graveyard,  reads  thus  :  "  Here  lyes  buried  ye  body 
of  Mrs.  Sarah  Weeks,  wife  to  Mr.  Joseph  Weeks.  She  died 
Feb.  12,  I73f,  aged  74  years."  The  gravestones  of  her  daugh- 
ters Hannah  and  Experience  are  standing  near  her  own.

of  the  "  Committee  "  of  the  ecclesiastical  society,  and  clerk  at 
meetings  of  the  society.  He  was  also  much  interested  in 
school  matters.

caused  a  removal  to  Lansingburgh  ;  he  purchased  a  portion  of 
his  term,  and  worked  as  a  journeyman  before  or  while  prepar-

1809,  the  three  highest — of  whom  he  was  one,  and  the  vale- 
dictorian,— being  designated  as  "  pari  honore,"  (of  equal 
honor.)  He  was  employed  as  a  tutor  in  the  college  for  a  short 
time  ;  entered  the  Theological  Seminary  at  Andover,  Mass.,  in 
June,  1810;  his  stay,  however,  was  very  brief.  His  first  ser- 
mons recorded  in  his  Journal  of  Preaching  (which  was  carefully 
kept  during  his  life)  were  preached  Feb.  10,  181 1,  at  Cornwall, 
Vt.,  from  Jer.  8  :  20,  and  Jer.  7  :  8.  In  December  of  that  year 
he  was  called  to  the  pastorate  of  the  Presbyterian  church  at 
Plattsburgh,  N.  Y.,  and  was  ordained  there  Feb.  16,  18 12,*  and 
promised  a  salary  of  $500  per  annum.  The  disturbances 
caused  by  the  war,  prevented  the  church  from  fulfilling  its 
contract,  and  he  preached  his  last  sermon  there  in  June,  18 14. 
Early  in  181 5,  he  took  charge  of  Morris  Academy,  at  Litch- 
field South  Farms  (now  the  town  of  Morris),  in  Connecticut. 
William  and  Edward,  sons  of  Rev.  Lyman  Beecher,  D.  D., 
(then  pastor  of  the  church  at  Litchfield,)  were  among  his 
pupils.  The  latter  gratefully  recognizes,  and  has  expressed  to 
the  author,  his  great  indebtedness  to  his  teacher  for  his  own 
accurate  and  thorough  classical  and  biblical  knowledge.  In 
the  autumn  of  1818,  Mr.  W.  removed  to  Clinton,  Oneida  Co., 
N.  Y.,  where  he  was  engaged  in  teaching  until  July,  1820, 
when  he  took  charge  of  the  church  at  Paris  Hill,  in  an  adjoin- 
ing town.  He  remained  here  until  the  summer  of  183 1 — 
teaching  a  school  the  last  two  years,  in  addition  to  his  pastoral 
duties.  In  August  he  removed  to  Utica,  teaching  a  school 
and  preaching  to  a  little  church  in  the  western  suburbs.  Early 
in  the  summer  of  1832,  he  removed  to  Newark,  N.  J.,  having 
accepted  a  call  to  the  pastorate  of  the  Fourth  Presbyterian 
Church  at  that  place.  In  1837,  ms  income  from  this  source 
being  inadequate,  he  opened  a  school  in  his  own  house,  which 
grew  to  be  a  large  and  flourishing  school   for  a  time.     His

health  becoming  precarious,  and  the  church  becoming  weak, 
he  preached  his  last  sermon  (so  intended)  Sept.  7,  1845,  from 
2  Tim.  4  :  6-8.  He  continued  teaching  a  few  pupils  until  the 
autumn  of  1847 — his  last  work  of  this  kind  being  the  prepara- 
tion for  college  of  Wm.  S.  Karr,  (Rev.,  D.  D.,)  now  Prof,  in 
the  Theological  Seminary  at  Hartford,  Conn.  During  the 
most  of  his  active  life,  he  was  both  preacher  and  teacher : 
preaching  somewhere  on  the  Sabbath  when  in  charge  of  a 
school  ;  and  often  teaching  young  men  in  his  own  house  while 
doing  pastoral  work.  In  theology  he  was  a  "  Hopkinsian  Cal- 
vinist  "  ;  in  regard  to  church  government,  theoretically  a  Con- 
gregationalism though  generally  serving  as  pastor  to  Presby- 
terian churches.  He  seldom  wrote  his  sermons  in  full,  but 
preached  from  a  carefully-studied  "  brief,"  witten  in  short- 
hand ;  making  free  use  of  quotations  from  the  Bible.  As  a 
teacher,  he  was  thorough,  aiming  to  train  his  pupils  to  think, 
not  merely  to  absorb.  He  had  a  useful  knowledge  of  eight  or 
ten  languages,  ancient  and  modern.  He  was  a  frequent  con- 
tributor to  the  religious  periodicals  of  the  day.  He  was  the 
author  of  "  Pilgrim's  Progress  in  the  Nineteenth  Century," 
"  Nine  Sermons  on  the  Decrees  and  Agency  of  God,"  "  Scrip- 
ture Catechism,"  "  First  Lessons  in  Greek,"  "  Missionary 
Arithmetic,"  and  a  series  of  "  Short  Tracts."  His  "  First 
Lessons  in  Latin  "  was  printed  on  a  domestic  press  by  his 
sons,  for  use  in  his  school  at  Newark.  He  was  decided  and 
outspoken  on  the  great  moral,  theological  and  political  quest- 
ions of  the  day  :  an  anti-mason  ;  an  early  advocate  of  total 
abstinence  ;  an  earnest  and  outspoken  "  abolitionist,"  he  had 
the  honor  of  being  interrupted  by  a  mob  while  preaching  to 
his  own  congregation  in  Newark,  on  the  "  sin  of  slavery,"  in 
the  summer  of  1834.  He  was  a  kind,  genial  man  ;  was  noted 
for  his  love  of  little  children.  He  was  a  natural  mechanic;  at 
one  time  he  constructed  the  apparatus  needed  for  illustration, 
in  giving  a  course  of  lectures  on  natural  philosophy.  The 
degree  of  "  D.  D."  was  conferred  by  Williams  College  in  1828.

*  The  town  record  gives  the  date  as  "  April,  1759"  ;  but  Hiram  Barrus,  author  of  the 
History  of  Goshen,  in  a  letter  to  the  author,  gives  the  date  as  "July  23,  1759."  Tlle 
former  may  have  been  the  date  of  publishment.

needed  at  home,  to  assist  in  the  household  work  in  other  families,  taking  for 
the  time  being  the  position  of  membership  in  such  families.  Being  em-

degrading  distinction,  and  left.

*  In  the  Marlborough  town  record,  is  recorded  the  marriage  of  Mary  Weeks  and 
Solomon  Bowker,  April  21,  1770;  also  her  death,  Feb.  11,  1771.  The  names  of  her 
parents  are  not  given.  This  must  have  been  some  other  than  the  daughter  of  Ammiel  : 
possibly  the  clerk  made  a  mistake,  writing  Mary  instead  of  Eunice  (843),  who  was  cousin 
of  Mary  and  d.  of  Thomas  (830.)  The  Lamson  family  record  is  positive  on  the  point. 
John  Lamson  and  Nathan  Sparhawk  were  appointed  administrators  of  Ammiel's  estate, 
after  the  deatli  of  the  widow,  who  was  executrix  ;  and  Lamson  and  his  descendants 
occupied  the  Weeks  farm  in  North  Brookfield  for  four  generations.

t  The  Lancaster  Mills  are  the  largest  establishment  in  the  country  for  the  manufacture 
of  ginghams.  The  buildings  contain  fourteen  acres  of  floor  space,  the  weaving  room 
being  the  largest  room  of  the  kind  in  the  world.  There  are  in  operation  50,000  spindles 
and  2,000  looms  ;  1,700  hands  are  employed  ;  and  20,000,000  yards  of  ginghams  are  pro- 
duced annually.  Every  improvement  and  valuable  invention  is  introduced  ;  a  corps  of 
chemists  and  designers  are  constantly  producing  new  effects  in  design  and  color,  there 
being  now  on  the  books  over  170,000  different  patterns.  Careful  attention  is  given  to 
every  step  of  the  manufacture,  in  order  to  secure  the  best  possible  results ;  the  conse- 
quence being  that  the  "Lancaster  ginghams"  are  universally  acknowledged  to  be  the 
best  in  the  world — the  beauty  and  enduring  quality  of  the  fabrics,  and  the  stability  of 
their  colors,  being  unequaled.

baptize  infants  as  soon  after  birth  as  was  found  convenient  ; 
some  having  been  baptized  on  the  day  of  birth,  others  when  a 
day  or  two  old,  and  so  on  ;  in  one  instance,  the  fact  that  the 
ceremony  was  delayed  for  "  a  forthnight,"  seemed  to  be  worthy 
of  note  on  the  record.  There  may  have  been  something  of 
the  idea  of  "  baptismal  regeneration,"  or  of  the  notion  that 
baptism  is  necessary  to  salvation,  though  perhaps  not  clearly 
defined,  or  not  consciously  acknowledged. 


MARRIAGES. 
The  earlier  marriages  were  by  the  magistrates,  not  by  the 
ministers.     This  may  have  been  by  way  of  protest  against  the 
claim  that  marriage  is  a  "sacrament." 


NAMES. 
Among  the  earlier  names  we  find  some  specimens  of  the 
so-called  "  Puritan  "  nomenclature  ;  such  as,  Deliverance,  Expe- 
rience, Grace,  Mercy,  Mindwell,  Peace,  Prudence,  Renew, 
Repent,  Submit,  Supply,  Thankful  ;  also  some  Bible  names 
not   common  in   modern   times  ;    such  as,  Ammicl,   Artemas,

Damaris,  Deborah,  Dinah,  Dorcas,  Eli,  Eliakim,  Ezekiel, 
Hezekiah,  Jabez,  Jared,  Keziah,  Lemuel,  Lot,  Narcissa,  Obed, 
Ruama,  Uriah.  Besides  these,  we  find  some  of  the  old- 
fashioned  abbreviations  ;  such  as,  Abby,  Betsey,  Betty,  Sally, 
as  well  as  more  modern  ones,  like  Addie,  Carrie,  Hattie,  etc- 
There  are  also  some  "fancy  "  names  ;  such  as,  Ardelia,  Arvilla, 
Elizie,  Lepha,  Orzellous,  Rocelia,  Rosalthe,  Rosilla,  etc. 

Middle  names  were  not  common  until  the  present  century. 
The  earliest  instance  in  the  family  was  JOSEPH  WEEKS 
WlTHINGTON,*  b.  1 759.  The  earliest  WEEKS  with  a  middle 
name,  was  SlLAS  R.  (906),  b.  1765  ;  the  next,  JOSEPH  H.  (692), 
b.  1776.  Only  ten  had  middle  names  previous  to  A.  D.  1800. 
The  use  of  middle  names,  though  common  in  Italy  and 
'Germany  from  an  early  date,  has  become  frequent  among 
English-speaking  people  only  during  the  present  century.  A 
very  few  instances  are  known  as  having  occurred  as  early  as 
the  latter  part  of  the  13th  century.  In  1723,  of  4900  voters  at 
at  an  election  in  Lincolnshire,  England,  only  five  had  double 
names.  At  an  election  in  Yorkshire  in  1829,  there  were  but 
87  such  out  of  1282  voters.  No  student  at  Dartmouth  Col- 
lege, N.  H.,  graduated  with  two  names  until  1776. 

NUMBERS  AND  AGES  OF  WEEKS  CHILDREN. 
The  number  of  known  descendants  of  George  Weekes,  of 
the  name,  from   the   second   to   the  eighth    generation,  is    as 
follows  : 

2d  generation,  4  6th  generation,  1 1 5 

3d         "  22  7th         "  210 

4th       "  23  8th         "  301 

5th        "  48 

There  are  nearly  400  of  the  9th  and  10th,  and  4  only  of  the 
1  ith  generation. 

The  number  of  children  in  113  families,  from  the  2d  to  the 
8th  generation,  averaged  about  6^.     They  were  as  follows  :

OTHER  EARLY  SETTLERS. 

In  lists  of  early  emigrants,  in  the  British  archives,  are  found 
the  following  names,  some  of  whom  were,"  without  doubt, 
identical  with  some  of  the  known  settlers  hereinafter  named  : 

1634  :  Symon,  weaver,  aged  16  years. 

1635,  Sept. :  Jo,*  tanner,  with  w.  Mary  and  child  Anna,  aged  26,  28,  and 
1  year,  respectively. 

1635,  Nov.  20  :  Thomas,  aged  23. 
1635,  July  27  :  Jo,*  aged  26. 

1635  :  Matthew. 
1690 :  Richard. 

The  following  are  known  to  have  been  actual  settlers.  The 
dates  later  than  1635,  are  the  dates  of  the  earliest  records  thus 
far  found,  and  may  not  be  the  dates  of  arrival  in  this  country , 
in  some  cases  they  are  evidently  not  so. 

1635  :  John,  Plymouth,  Mass. 
1635  :  Thomas,  Watertown,  Mass. 
1635  :  Francis,  Salem,  Mass. 
1636 :  Thomas,  Charlestown,  Mass. 
1644  :  William,  Boston,  Mass. 
1646  :  William,  Salem,  Mass. 
1650  :  Joseph,  Kent  Co.,  Md. 

1652  :  Zacharv, ,  Mass. 

1662  :  William.  Falmouth,  Mass. 
1675  :  John,  Falmouth,  Mass. 
1665  :  Leonard,  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 
1674:  William,  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 
1694  :  Christopher,  Boston,  Mass. 
169- :  Richard,  Attleborough,  Mass. 

In  1638,  John  Weekes  was  a  resident  of  the  island  of  Barbadoes,  own- 
ing ten  or  more  acres  of  land. — [N.  E.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Reg.,  April,  1885.]

232  OTHER   EARLY    SETTLERS. 

Such  further  information  as  has  been  obtained  in  regard  to 
the  foregoing  settlers  and  their  descendants,  is  given  in  the 
following  pages. 

JOHN,  from  Staines,  Middlesex,  England,  where  he  had 
brothers  Thomas,  Robert,  William, — said  to  have  been  related 
to  Capt.  Miles  Standish, — was  at  Plymouth  in  1635  ;  was  made 
freeman  in  1636 ;  in  1638  he  sold  his  property  there  and 
removed  to  the  island  of  Aquidneck,  near  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 
He  was  a  follower  of  Samuel  Gorton  ;  made  himself  obnoxious 
to  the  authorities  of  the  Massachusetts  colony  by  his  peculiar 
religious  and  political  notions  ;  was  imprisoned  for  a  time  with 
Gorton  and  others ;  after  being  set  at  liberty,  he  went  to 
Rhode  Island,  and  settled  in  what  is  now  Warwick,  being  one 
of  the  original  purchasers  from  the  Indians  in  1642-3.  He 
was  killed  by  the  Indians  in  King  Philip's  war,  1675.  He  had 
a  son  John  :  no  record  has  been  found  of  any  other.  His 
descendants  are  found  in  that  region  and  elsewhere,  and  write 
the  name  Wickes  or  Wicks.  In  the  only  instance  found  by 
the  author,  where  the  name  appears  to  be  a  copy  of  his  signa- 
ture, the  form  is  Wickes. 

THOMAS,  of  Watertown,  was  probably  the  same  with 
"  Thomas,  aged  23,"  above  mentioned.  He  finally  settled  at 
Huntington,  L.  I.  A  further  account  of  him  and  his  family 
will  be  found  in  subsequent  pages. 

FRANCIS,  of  Salem,  finally  settled  at  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I. 
Further  notice  of  him  and  his  descendants  will  be  found  later. 

THOMAS,  of  Charlestown,  was  there  in  1636;  his  w.  Alice 
was  admitted  to  the  church  Feb.  12,  1636;  he  r.  to  Salem  in 
1639;  d.  1656;  his  wd.  m.  Nicholas  Potter.  Thomas  had  d. 
Bethia  (b.  1642,  m.  John  Archer),  and  Hannah  (b.  1644,  m. 
John  Pickman)  ;  no  sons  ;  was  a  turner. 


OTHER    EARLY   SETTLERS.  233 

William,  of  Boston,  purchased  a  house  and  lot  from  John 
Sweet  in  1644.  He  may  have  been  the  same  who  was  at 
Salem  in  1646. 

JOSEPH  was  a  landholder  in  Kent  Co.,  Md.,  1650  ;  how  long 
before  that  date  is  not  known.  His  descendants  are  found  in 
that  state  at  the  present  time.  He  may  have  been  the  same 
with  "Jo,  tanner,"  before  named. 


Zachary,    was    admitted    freeman    in    the    Massachusetts 
colony  in  1652  ;  nothing  further  is  known  of  him. 


William  and  John,  probably  brothers,  of  Falmouth,  Mass., 
appear  there  in  1662  and  1675.  Some  further  account  of  them 
will  be  found  in  subsequent  pages. 


Leonard  and  William,  probably  brothers,  appear  at 
Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  1656  and  1674,  respectively.  A  further 
account  of  them  is  given  later. 


CHRISTOPHER,  Boston,  1694,  had  wife  Mary,  and  children  : 
Christopher,  b.  Sept.  24,  1695  ;  Mary.  b.  Sept.  29,  1697.  No 
further  record  has  been  found. 


Richard,  of  Attleborough,  was  probably  identical  with 
Richard,  who  emigrated  from  England  in  1690.  A  record  ot 
his  family  is  given  later. 

While,  as  has  been  stated,  there  have  been,  and  are  now,  in 
England,  different  families  of  the  name,  having  no  connection 
with  each  other,  and  while  there  seems  to  be  reason  to  believe 

1 0 


234  OTHER   EARLY   SETTLERS. 

that  more  than  one  of  these  were  represented  among  the  early- 
settlers,  yet  it  seems  probable  that  some  of  the  original  immi- 
grants were  closely  related  to  each  other. 

GEORGE,  THOMAS  and  FRANCIS,  were  probably  brothers ; 
they  all  wrote  their  name  Weekes  ;  they  all  came  from  Eng- 
land, and  to  Boston  harbor,  in  the  same  year — 1635  ;  traditions 
among  their  descendants  claim  brotherhood  ;  marked  resem- 
blances among  their  posterity  tend  to  corroborate  the  theory. 
JOSEPH,  who  left  England  the  same  year,  was  probably  the 
brother  of  these,  who  is  said  to  have  been  drowned  in  landing. 
William  and  John,  of  Falmouth,  may  have  been  nephews  of 
those  named  above  ;  family  likenesses  among  descendants 
indicate  a  probable  relationship. 

No  records  have  thus  far  been  found,  showing  from  what 
particular  place  or  places  in  England  any  of  these  early  settlers 
came,  except  in  the  case  of  JOHN,  of  Plymouth,  whose  name 
was  probably  WlCKES. 


THOMAS,    OF   HUNTINGTON.  235 

THOMAS    WEEKES, 

OF    HUNTINGTON,  L.  I.* 

[Name  generally  written  Wickes  by  his  descendants.] 

THOMAS  Weekes  (probably  a  brother  of  GEORGE,  of  Dor- 
chester, of  Mass.,  and  Francis,  of  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I.)  "  aged 
23,"  left  England  Nov.  20,  1635  ;  came  at  first  to  Watertown, 
Mass.,  whence  he  went  soon  to  Wethersfield,  Conn. ;  then  to 
Hadley,  Mass.,  where  he  remained  but  a  short  time,  returning 
to  Wethersfield  ;  he  r.  to  Stamford,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the 
original  proprietors  in  1640  ;  r.  to  Long  Island,  and  settled  at 
Huntington.  In  1662  he  was  admitted  freeman  and  chosen 
constable.  In  April,  1663,  he  was  one  of  three  whose  names 
were  sent  to  Hartford  for  the  Court  to  appoint  two  of  them 
magistrates.  He  was  one  of  the  patentees  in  1666.  He  m. 
Isabella,  d.  of  Richard  Harcutt,  of  Oyster  Bay.  His  children, 
as  below,  were  named  in  his  will,  dated  June  30,  1670.  He  d. 
in  1671.  He  gives  to  his  son  Thomas,  certain  designated 
pieces  of  land  ;  to  Rebecca  40s.,  to  her  three  children  20s. 
each  ;  to  Martha  £4,  and  to  her  children  20s.  each.  The 
widow,  and  son  John,  were  named  as  executors. 

His  sons  changed  the  spelling  of  the  name  to  WlCKES, 
perhaps  to  distinguish  themselves  from  the  sons  of  Francis 
bearing  the  same  names  in  the  adjoining  town  of  Oyster  Bay ; 
and  this  form  is  retained  by  his  descendants,  with  (e\v  excep- 
tions, so  far  as  known. 


*  It  was  not  in  the  plan  of  the  author,  to  include  in  this  work  the  history  of  any  family 
but  that  of  his  own  ancestor;  but  at  the  solicitation  of  Mrs.  Charles  L.  Alden,  of  Troy, 
N.  Y.,  who  had  been  for  some  time  collecting  data  in  regard  to  the  family  of  Thomas, 
of  Huntington,  the  results  of  her  labors  are  inserted.  The  author  is  indebted  to  Dr. 
Stephen  Wickes,  of  Orange,  N.  J.,  for  valuable  information, — the  history  of  Eliphalet 
(16)  and  his  descendants  especially. 

Many  of  the  items  in  the  early  records  are  fragmentary  and  disconnected,  and  have 
been  arranged  according  to  apparent  probability. 


236  THOMAS,    OF   HUNTINGTON. 

Many  of  the  family  are  now  to  be  found  on  Long  Island, 
and  in  the  counties  along  the  Hudson  River,  some  families 
having  removed  to  the  Hudson  river  valley  on  the  evacuation 
of  Long  Island  by  the  American  army,  in  the  Revolution. 

The  marriages  and  baptisms  from  1723  to  1779,  are  mostly 
taken  from  a  record  kept  by  Rev.  Ebenezer  Prime,  who  was 
pastor  of  the  church  at  Huntington  during  that  period.

THOMAS,2  [Thomas,)  b.  probably  in  Oyster  Bay,  1650  or 
165 1  (his  age  being  stated  in  a  deposition  given  by  him  in 
1676,  as  "  about  25  years  ")  :  probably  the  same  as  Thomas, 
"  Jr.,"  who  with  w.  Deborah  conveyed  land  in  1709  to  Joseph 
Wood.  He  was  imprisoned  by  Gov.  Andros  in  1681  ;  received 
a  captain's  commission  in  1690  ;  was  sent,  April  3,  1691,  to  a 
county  convention  held  for  the  choice  of  two  members  of 
Assembly.  In  1704,  he  gives  certain  land  to  his  son  Philip, 
"  in  consideration  of  natural  love  and  affection."  In  1714  he 
gives  land  to  his  son  Samuel  for  the  same  consideration  ;  and 
on  the  same  date,  for  a  like  reason,  to  his  son  Joseph,  the 
house  and  home  lot,  with  certain  reservations  to  himself  and 
wife  during  their  lives.  As  the  grant  to  Philip  in  1704  included 
an  "  equal  fourth  "  interest  in  the  home  lot,  and  as  there  is  in 
the  deed  to  Joseph  no  reservation  in  favor  of  Philip,  it  would 
seem  that  the  latter  must  have  died  before  17 14.  The  name 
of  "  Capt."  Thomas  appears  as  late  as  1725,  in  deeds  now  in 
possession  of  Dr.  Stephen  Wickes,  of  Orange,  N.  J.

FRANCIS,   OF   OYSTER   BAY.  285 

FRANCIS   WEEKES, 

OF  OYSTER  BAY,  L.  I., 

In  reasonable  probability,  a  brother  of  George,  of  Dor- 
chester, and  of  Thomas,  of  Huntington,  came  from  England 
in  the  same  year  with  them — 1635,  and  located  at  Salem,  Mass. 
Sympathizing  with  Roger  Williams,  he  went  to  Providence  in 
1636,  being  then  about  twenty  years  of  age,*  where  he  married 
Elizabeth  Luther.  He  held  the  office  of  secretary  of  the 
colony.  After  1641,  he  removed  to  New  York,  where  three  of 
his  children  were  born.  A  plantation  lot  in  Gravesend,  L.  I., 
was  granted  him,  Aug.  10,  1648.  In  1650,  he  was  in  Oyster 
Bay,  L.  I.,  and  became  a  joint  proprietor.  He  had  children — 
Samuel,  Joseph,  John,  Thomas,  James,  Elizabeth  (m.  Nicholas 
Simkins),  Ann  (m.  Joseph  Carpenter),  Daniel :  the  names  of 
five  sons  appear  among  the  purchasers  of  additional  lands  from 
the  Indians  in  1685.  His  will  (now  in  possession  of  John  A. 
Weekes,  Esq.,  a  descendant,  who  owns  the  old  homestead)  is 
dated  June  25,  1687.  His  descendants  are  numerous  on  Long 
Island,  in  New  York  City,  and  along  the  lower  Hudson,  with 
some  in  Connecticut  and  southern  New  Jersey.  Some  retain 
the  old  form  of  name- — WEEKES,  though  the  majority  use  the 
shorter  form.  The  name  is  spelled  in  a  variety  of  ways  in  the 
public  records — Weekes,  Weeks,  Wicks,  Wickes,  and  Wyckes; 
consequently  the  form  of  name  cannot  be  depended  on  as 
proving  the  family  connection. 

Samuel  m.  a  d.  of  Henry  Rudick  ;  had  d.   Elizabeth,  who 
m.  Thomas  Youngs. 

JOSEPH   m.    Elizabeth,   d.   of    Henry   Rudick ;    had   a   large 
family — among   them,    Henry,   Jacob,   Abraham,    Silas,   John, 

Charles,  Joseph,   Micah,  Abigail  (in. Dodge).     He  r.  to 

Matinecock.     Will  dated  1754.

302  NATHANIEL,    OF    HARDWICK. 

NATHANIEL  WEEKS, 

OF    FALMOUTH    AND    HARDWICK,    MASS. 

The  following  history  of  the  families  in  Hardwick  and  the 
neighboring  towns  of  Ware  and  Petersham,  was  obtained,  for 
the  most  part,  in  view  of  what  seemed  a  strong  probability 
that  they  were  a  branch  of  the  family  of  GEORGE,  of  Dor- 
chester ;  but  when  the  evidence  was  found  that  such  was  not 
the  fact,  it  was  thought  best  to  preserve  such  history  as  fully 
as  it  had  been  procured. 

As  nothing  in  regard  to  Nathaniel  and  his  family,  beyond 
the  births  of  his  children,  is  found  in  the  Falmouth  records, — 
and  as  a  group  with  several  of  the  same  names,  some  of  them 
of  about  the  same  ages,  appears  in  the  towns  above  named, — 
there  seems  to  be  no  doubt  but  that  the  families  are  identical. 

NATHANIEL,  s.  of  John,  b.  Falmouth,  Mass.,  1676,  had  wife 
Margaret,  and  children, — Elizabeth,  b.  1703  ;  Cornelius,  1706  ; 
Bethia,  1709;  Nathaniel,  171 1;  Ebenezer,  1714;  Thomas, 
1718  ;  Content,  1723  ;  Judah,  1725.""  He  appears  to  have 
removed  to  Hardwick,  with  some  of  his  children, — perhaps  all 
who  were  living, — and  possibly  with  grandchildren,  in  1743  or 
1744;  his  w.  Margaret  was  admitted  to  the  church  in  Hard- 
wick, Nov.  13  of  the  latter  year. 

Thomas  was  a  resident  of  Hardwick  until  1783. 

Content  m.  Hardwick,  Oct.  29,  1742,  Isaac  Clark. 

JUDAH,  probably  a  grandson,  m.  (pub.  Dec.  4,  1780)  Mary 
Clark,  of  New  Stratford,  and  r.  to  Bennington,  Vt.  ;  had 
children, — Ira,  b.  Sept.  28,  1781  ;  Polly,  b.  April  11,  1783; 
Judah,  b.  April  12,  1785  ;  John  Clark,  b.  Oct.  19,  1787  ;  Emma, 
b.  Nov.  7,  1791. 

Tryphena,  probably  of  this  family,  m.  Hardwick,  April  1, 
1827,  Solomon  W.  Ruggles  (b.  Jan.  9,  1804,  d.  May  19,  1863)  ; 
r.  to  Fitchburg  ;  had  Benjamin  W.  (b.  March  25,  1828,  d.  Oct. 
1,  1846),  John  W.  (b.  July  17,  1829,  d.  July  13,  1852).

352  LEONARD   AND   WILLIAM. 

LEONARD  and  WILLIAM  WEEKS, 

OF    PORTSMOUTH,    N.  H. 

Leonard,  b.  in  England  in  1635  ;  settled  at  Portsmouth, 
N.  H.,  where  land  was  granted  him  in  1656  ;  m.  about  1667, 
Mary,  d.  of  Dea.  Samuel  Haines  (a  descendant  in  the  male  line 
from  Robert,  Earl  of  Cornwall,  brother  of  William  the  Con- 
queror), who  settled  at  Winnicut  (now  in  Greenland)  in  1667. 
Leonard  had  children — John,  1668;  Samuel  ["  Capt."],  1670 
(m.  his  cousin  Elinor  Haines)  ;  Joseph,  1672  ;  Joshua,  1674  ; 
Mary,  1676  ;  Jonathan  ;  and  by  second  wife  Elizabeth  he  had 
Margaret  and  Sarah,  twins,  1679.  He  d.  1707.  His  descend- 
ants are  numerous  in  New  Hampshire  and  Maine  ;  still,  there 
are  families  in  both  these  states  whose  connection  with  him 
has  not  been  traced. 

WILLIAM,  at  Portsmouth,  testified,  July  21,  1674,  that  he 
was  45  years  old  or  thereabouts.  He  may  have  been  a  brother 
of  Leonard.  The  Weekses  of  Kittery,  Me.,  are  thought  to  be 
his  descendants  ;  he  may  have  been  the  ancestor  of  some  of 
the  Maine  families  whose  line  has  not  been  traced. 

The  following  families  and  persons  are  of  the  Portsmouth 
stock — mostly  from  the  family  of  Leonard,  though  some  may 
be  descendants  from  William.* 

John,  (John,  Samuel,  Leonard.)  b.  Greenland,  N.  H.,  1773  ;  r-i  t0

lost  his  property  by  becoming  surety  for  the  sheriff  ;  about  1768-70, 
r.  with  wife  and  six  children  to  the  Damariscotta  river,  Me.,  where 
he  inclosed  800  acres  of  land,  which  he  finally  paid  for,  and  settled 
his  children  about  him  ;  he  d.  March  20,  1804,  at  what  is  now 
known  as  the  "  Deacon  Weeks  place,"  in  Jefferson,  Me.  He  m. 
1753-4,  Abigail  Piper,  of    Stratham,  N.  H.      His  children  were, — 


*Rev.  Jacob  Chapman,  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  a  descendant  from  Leonard  through  both 
father  and  mother,  has  been  for  some  years  collecting  materials  for  a  history  of  these 
families,  with  a  view  to  publication.  His  data  will  be  more  full,  and  probably  in  some 
cases  more  accurate,  than  those  here  given.

been  the  one  who  was  baptized  in  1742  as  a  servant  of  Jonathan 
Weeks,  and  may  have  taken  the  family  name.  His  connection  with

The  Maiden  records  contain  the  following  : 

Mary  Weeks  m.  Thomas  Greene,  March  22,  1675-6. 

Perez  S.,  Enfield,  Mass.,  witnessed  a  deed  in  1839  ;  and  Sarah  F. 
of  Enfield  in  1856. 

Joseph,  (Cincinnati,  O.,  1881),  is  s.  of  John,  s.  of  John,  who  went 
from  Mass.  to  Ohio  about  1828. 

John,  b.  Worcester,  Mass.,  r.  to  Ann  Arundel  Co.,  Md.,  where  he 
had  s.  Alfred  (b.  1809),  whose  s.  Jeremiah  (b.  1835),  and  his  s.  S.  C. 
were  at  Allegheny,  Pa.,  1883. 

In  the  diary  of  Jeremiah  Bumstead,  an  attendant  at  the  old  South 
Church,  Boston— as  published  in  the  N.  E.  Hist.  Gen.  Register,  vol. 
xv,  p.  194 — is  found  the  following  item,  under  date  of  March  29, 
1722  :  "  Mr.  Thacher  preached  his  first  sermon  by  order  of  author- 
ity, being  Mr.  Weeks'  turn  properly." 

The  name  here  should  probably  be  Webb.  Rev.  John  Webb  was 
pastor  of  the  North  Church  ;  no  other  mention  has  been  found  of  a 
minister  named  Weeks  at  the  time  ;  the  latter  part  of  the  name  in 
the  M.S.  is  blurred.

A. 

ANCIENT    DOCUMENTS. 

The  following  are  copies  from  the  original  papers  ;  made  by 
the  author  (except  Nos.  5,  13  and  14).  The  mode  of  spelling 
and  the  use  of  capital  letters  and  points  have  been  carefully 
followed.  In  those  early  times  there  was  no  accepted  standard 
of  spelling  ;  and  it  is  found  that  the  spelling  varies  in  the 
same  document,  even  when  the  writer  was  apparently  a  fairly- 
educated  man  for  his  time.  Some  of  these  differences,  however, 
are  the  result  of  ignorance  or  want  of  care. 

The  letter  u  is  quite  generally  found  where  we  should  use 
v,  and  the  latter  is  often  found  where  we  should  write  u  :  but 
this  interchange  is  not  uniform. 

Neither  is  the  use  of  y  for  the,  invariable  :  it  will  be 
observed  that  it  is  not  used  at  all  in  Jane  Humphrey's  will. 
The  character  resembling  our  y,  is  simply  a  character  for  th, 
and  is  used  in  the  older  documents  wherever  the  sound  repre- 
sented occurs,  whether  at  the  beginning  or  in  the  middle  of 
words  ;  and  in  these  it  was  written  just  like  y,  as  in  later 
writings.     The  pronunciation  was  the,  not  ye.

Peter  Wood 

Ebenezer  Eames 

Thomas  Baker 

The  condition  of  the  provisions  for  his  wife,  "so  long  as  she  shall 
remain  my  widow,"  was  evidently  made  in  kindness  to  her  and  in 
justice  to  the  estate  ;  its  operation  being  to  deter  any  man  too  lazy 
to  earn  his  own  living,  from  "  making  love  "  to  her,  with  a  view  to  a 
comfortable  home  and  support.  But  the  will  was  inoperative  so  far 
as  she  was  concerned  ;  for  he  outlived  her  three  years.

NOTES  FROM  DORCHESTER  CHURCH  RECORDS. 

In  the  early  times,  families  did  not  sit  together,  as  now  ;  but 
individuals  were  assigned  seats  according  to  their  supposed  dignity 
— a  committee  being  appointed  from  time  to  time  by  the  "society" 
for  the  purpose.  The  young  men  and  boys  were  usually  seated  in 
the  gallerv,  when  such  existed  ;  and  suitable  persons  were  appointed 
to  "  look  after  "  them. 

In  the  back  part  of  the  old  book  of  Dorchester  Church  Records, 
are  given  the  "searings"  in  the  meeting  house.  The  date  of  this 
assignment  is  not  given  ;  but  an  examination  of  dates  of  marriages 
and  deaths  shows  that  it  was  probably  made  in  1691. 

In  the  body  of  the  house,  "  Widow  Weeks  "*  was  the  third  in 
order  in  the  third  seat  of  the  women,  old  seating  ;  in  the  new  seat- 
ing, the  first  in  order.

body  of  the  house,  new  seating. 

Joseph  WeeksJ  was  the  seventh  in  order  of  the  ten  men  in  the 
first  seat  in  the  south  part  of  the  east  gallery,  old  seating  ;  new 
seating,  the  fourth  in  order. 

The  wife  of  Joseph  Weeks||  was  the  fourth  in  order  in  the  second 
seat  next  the  pulpit  in  the  west  or  women's  gallery,  in  both  the  old 
and  new  seating. 

Elizabeth  Weeks§  was  the  sixth  in  order,  in  both  seatings. 

Names  of  persons  to  be  catechised,  in  1676,  include  Ammiel 
Weeks,  aged  13  ;  Ebenezer,  it  ;  Joseph,  8  ;  Mary,  20  ;  Elizabeth, 
18  ;  Thankful,  15  ;   Renew,  14  ;   Jane,  12  ;   Sarah,  8.

Far  away,  where  mountains  lift 

Snowy  summits  to  the  skies, 

Where  the  evening  sunbeams  sift 

Through  a  gold  and  purple  rift, 

All  my  earthly  fortune  lies. 

On  a  hillside  sloping  down 

Toward  the  early  morning  light, 
Where  the  turrets  of  the  town, 
Rising  o'er  the  rooftrees  brown, 
Keep  it  always  just  in  sight, — 

Lies  the  only  land  I  call 

Mine  by  right  of  price  or  dower: 
The  inclosure  is  but  small, 
Yet  there's  sleeping  room  for  all, 

Though  it  boasts  no  hall  or  tower. 

In  the  Summer  robins  sing 
Blithely  in  the  maples'  shade  ; 

Tenderly  the  blossoms  bring 

Loving  messages  in  Spring, 

To  the  darlings  'neath  them  laid. 

Lonely,  but  not  tenantless, 

Is  this  distant  home  of  mine: 
Careful  footsteps  sometimes  press 
Near  my  darlings'  grave,  and  bless 
With  a  loving  thought,  the  shrine. 

Fold  away  the  title  deed  : 

While  I  hold  this  small  estate, 

I've  a  home  for  future  need  ; 

Then,  I  shall  not  care  nor  heed 
Whether  it  be  small  or  great.

4IO  POETRY. 

IN  THE  PINES. 

I  try  to  read  the  earnest  thoughts 

Of  minds  of  other  ages  ; 
The  sunbeams  quiver  through  the  trees, 

And  blur  the  printed  pages. 

I  turn  a  leaf,  and  try  to  thread 
The  maze  where  soul  is  bringing 

Its  priceless  wealth,  but  all  along 
I  hear  the  thrushes  singing, — 

And  can  but  listen  to  their  songs, 
And  quaff  the  sweets  before  me, 

Which  stir  among  the  buds  and  flowers 
On  trailing  branches  o'er  me. 

I  read  a  page  where  heaven  is  traced 
Up  through  the  gates  immortal ; 

The  wild  birds  capture  eye  and  sense, — 
I  sit  at  heaven's  portal. 

The  winds  come  trooping  through  the  pines 
With  quiet  blessing  laden, 

And  sweep  the  cares  of  life  away 
Beyond  this  peaceful  Aidenn. 

The  stately  pines,  like  sentinels 
Intent  on  swerveless  duty, 

Shut  in  this  little  Paradise 

Of  peace  and  love  and  beauty. 

If  serpents  lurk  beside  the  paths 
Where  other  feet  are  treading, 

I  only  see  where  sweetest  flowers 
These  lovely  nooks  are  threading. 

I  only  hear  the  song  of  birds 
On  graceful  pinions  whirring, 

And  chorus  of  ten  thousand  leaves 
In  fragrant  breezes  stirring; — 

And  would  not  have  a  discord  break 
The  joy  that  fills  my  being, 

While  half  forgetting  all  the  world, 
Beyond  the  power  of  seeing. 

Areola,  May  ojh,  1876.  MRS.  R.  W.  buainerd. 


POETRY. 
OCTOBER. 

The  sun  has  lost  its  burning  blaze, 
The  air  sifts  through  a  purple  haze. 
And  all  these  quiet  Autumn  days 

Remodel  life  anew. 
The  orange  trees  show  yellow  tints, 
Where  sunshine  through  the  foliage  glints, 
And  on  the  ripening  fruit  imprints 

Each  day  a  brighter  hue. 

The  harvesters  in  laden  fields, 

Are  gleaning  fruits  the  summer  yields  ; 

The  blackbird,  noisy  in  appeals, 

Is  asking  for  his  share  ; 
And  well  he  fills  his  little  throat, 
A  sentinel  gives  warning  note 
If  any  doubtful  sound  afloat, 

Portends  a  coming  snare. 

The  fishermen  ply  busy  oars 
Along  the  reed  entangled  shores, 
Where  briny  waters  hide  their  stores 

Through  all  the  Summer  days. 
On  land  and  flood  'tis  harvest  time ! 
October  days  are  in  their  prime  ; 
And  morning  bell,  and  evening  chime 

Should  waken  songs  of  praise. 
Louisiana,  1875.  MRS,  K.  w_  brainerd.

THE  MELANCHOLY  DAYS  HAVE  COME. 

When  the  autumn  fruit  is  mellow, 
When  the  leaves  are  sere  and  yellow, 
And  the  blackbird,  noisy  fellow, 

Chatters  o'er  the  gathered  grain, 
Memory  in  forgotten  places 
Seeks  for  once  familiar  faces, 
Only  finding  scattered  traces 

Of  the  graves  where  they  have  lain. 


412  POETRY. 


Winter's  frost  and  summer's  burning 
Come  again  ;  but  no  returning 
Spring  can  satisfy  the  yearning 

Of  the  heart's  sad  autumn  day. 
Gone  is  youth  and  budding  pleasure, 
Lost  is  manhood's  golden  treasure, 
Ere  old  age  can  watch,  at  leisure, 

Falling  leaves  and  hopes  decay  ; — 

Watch  with  joy  and  sorrow  blending, 
Down  the  slope  of  life  descending, 
Soon  to  reach  the  peaceful  ending, 

When  all  change  and  loss  are  o'er. 
Gain  ofttimes  comes  after  losing  ; 
Wine  is  made  of  grapes  by  bruising  ; 
Wheat  is  never  fit  for  using 

Till  it  leaves  the  threshing  floor. 

Oct.,  1876.  MRS.    R.    W.    BR 


COLD. 


The  wintry  wind  is  piercing  cold, 

Which  beats  against  the  pane  ; 
The  singing  birds  have  left  my  trees, 

My  roses  all  are  slain. 
The  land  without  is  desolate, 

The  sky  is  cold  and  grey  ; 
But  spring  will  come  again,  my  dear, 

And  bring  its  sunny  May. 

Far  colder  than  the  winter  time, 
.  The  blight  of  passing  years, 
Which  falls  like  frost  upon  our  hopes, 

And  changes  them  to  tears. 
The  world  is  growing  desolate, — 

But  up  beyond  the  sky, 
There  is  a  sunny  clime,  my  dear, 

Where  summers  never  die.

POETRY.  413 

BY  THE  SHORE, 

Westward  across  the  eternal  sea  I  gaze : 

Far  off,  beyond  my  sight,  there  lies,  I  know, 

The  island  of  the  blest.     And  there  rest  all 

Who  have  lived  and  died  for  men.     The  worthies  famed, 

Whom  we  revere,  are  there  ;  nor  they  alone, 

For  every  helper  of  another    shares 

Those  great  ones'  seats. 

Wrapped  in  a  golden  dnsk 
Down  by  the  happy  island's  shore  they  sit. 
Their  thoughts  are  long  and  calm  ;  the  while  they  muse 
On  human  life,  the  world  as  it  hath  been, 
And  how  their  brotherhood  is  fashioning  slow 
The  world  anew.     And  with  their  tranquil  thoughts 
Mingles  a  dream  they  love — that  ages  hence, 
Far  off,  and  in  some  new  and  unguessed  life, 
There  may  again  be  deeds  for  them  to  do. 

But  most,  and  with  most  deep  content,  they  muse 
On  God,  and  on  what  is  because  He  is, 
And  what  shall  surely  be.     And  evermore 
The  sea  whereby  they  sit,  this  sea,  chants  them 
A  mighty  song  of  triumph  and  of  hope.

CONTINUITY. 


Through  ages  slow  a  high  still  world  swung  down, 
And  dipped  at  last  into  this  swarming  sphere. 
Our  nobler  unseen  half,  if  life  at  all 
It  have,  in  that  high  world  doth  quiet  dwell. 
The  life  of  motion  which  the  eye  beholds 
Hath  there  no  part.     We  may  indeed  enforce 
By  will  a  oneness  through  these  differing  two, — 
Making  the  movements  of  the  lower  shine 
With  light  the  higher  gives  us.     But,  ev'n  then, 
These  are  not  in  that  upper  world  ;  and  they 
Shall  some  time  cease,  and  then  the  two  worlds  touch 
For  us  no  more.     But,  surely  as  we  here 
Have  found  that  high  world  ever  to  us  real, — 
So  sure  in  it  we  shall  go  on  to  be.

414  POETRY. 

A  THEME  FROM  "TOILERS  OF  THE  SEA." 

Far  in  the  land  of  the  North,  where  the  Baltic's  dark  waters  are  raging, 
Stretching  along  'twixt  the  sea  and  the  cliff,  lies  a  fishermen's  village. 
Here,  in  the  prime  of  his  earliest  manhood,  there  once  dwelt  a  sailor. 
Born  of  a  race  that  from  time  immemorial  have  toiled  on  the  ocean, 
Hardy  and  bold  as  the  Norsemen  and  Vikings— the  ancient  sea-rovers — 
Strong  in  the  strength  of  his  youth,  and  brave  like  his  fathers  before  him, 
Conqueror  of  winds  and  of  waves,  fearing  not  the  fierce  monsters  of  ocean  ; 
First  of  the  youths  of  the  village,  superior  in  skill  and  in  valor, 
Winner  of  all  that  he  sought  for,  unused  to  retreat  or  to  failure, 
Praised  by  the  young  for  his  prowess,  and  praised  by  the  old  for  his  courage  ; 
Smiled  on  by  all  the  fair  maidens,  who  blushed  with  delight  at  his  notice. 

Sad  was  the  day  when  his  heart  awoke  but  to  find  itself  pinioned, 
Bound  by  the  soft  silken  cords  of  love  that  is  stronger  than  iron  ; 
Struggling  and  striving,  but  vainly — no  struggles  nor  strivings  can  break  them. 
Sad  was  the  day  when  he  knew  no  return  for  his  love  he  might  hope  for  ; 
She  who  had  stolen  his  heart  had  given  her  love  to  another  : 
He  who  had  always  been  winner,  to  yield  at  last  to  a  rival  ? 

Low  in  the  side  of  the  cliff,  the  ebb-tide  revealeth  a  hollow, 
Carved  to  a  rude  rocky  chair  by  the  waves  as  they  rush  when  the  tide  comes. 
There — while  the  ship  that  is  bearing  away  a  fair  bride,  his  heart's  treasure, 
Spreads  her  white  sails  like  a  bird,  and  floats  down  through  the  smooth 

harbor  water — 
In  its  huge  arms  sits  he  waiting,  and  watching  the  ship  on  her  journey, 
Freighted  with  all  that  his  heart  counted  precious,  or  worthy  to  live  for. 

On  creeps  the  tide  o'er  the  sands,  to  the  foot  of  the  cliff  slowly  stealing— 
— Slowly  the  bark  with  its  burden  rises  and  dips  in  the  waters, — 
Higher  and  higher  the  waves  come,  still  higher  and  higher  they  gather ; 
Now  they  have  reached   to  his  feet,  and  they  kiss  them  and  shrink  back 
affrighted  ; — 
,   — Over  the  bar  and  its  breakers,  and  out  on  the  blue  heaving  billows, 
Till  on  the  line  that  divides  the  sea  from  the  sky  stands  the  vessel 
Clearly  defined  there  ; — their  terror  forgotten,  the  white  waves  returning 
Fie  on  his  breast  in  delight,  and  fling  up  their  soft  arms  to  embrace  him  — 
— Only  the  sails  are  in  sight  now,  on  the  dim  distant  horizon — 
Circling  his  neck  with  white  fingers,  and  clasping  him  closer  and  closer, 
Touching  his  lips,  — while  the  vessel  has  shrunk  to  a  speck  in  the  distance. — 
On  sweeps  the  tide  to  its  hight,  the  satisfied  waters  are  still  now. 
Gone  out  of  sight  is  the  ship,  and  ended  the  watch  of  the  watcher.

POETRY.  415 

THE  GOLDEN  LAND. 

Once,  across  a  desert  dreary, 

One  broad  waste  of  glaring  sand, 
Roamed  I,  weak  and  worn  and  weary, 

Seeking  for  the  Golden  Land. 

For  they  told  me  when  I  started 

On  this  journey,  long  ago, 
Hopeful,  young  and  happy-hearted, 

Ignorant  of  pain  and  woe, — 

That  beyond  that  line  of  brightness — 
So  this  desert  seemed  to  me, 

Dazzling  in  its  silvery  whiteness 
Like  the  foam  of  summer  sea — 

Was  the  Golden  Land,  enchanted, 

Known  to  youth  of  every  age, 
By  .the  hand  of  artist  painted, 

Sung  by  poet,  sought  by  sage, — 

Land  where  hopes  have  glad  fruition, 

Land  where  dreams  are  dreams  no  more ; — 

Till  before  my  longing  vision 
Seemed  to  rise  its  glorious  shore. 

Sense  enraptured  with  its  beauty, 

Soul  enraptured  with  its  bliss, 
What  cared  I  that  life  meant  duty  ? 

I  who  owned  estates  like  this. 

So  from  childhood's  happy  valley, 

Out  upon  the  sparkling  sand, 
Eagerly  I  stepped  and  gaily  ;— 

Ah  !  that  was  my  Golden  Land. 

But  I  left  it,  little  guessing 

All  the  wealth  I  left  behind, 
All  the  beauty,  all  the  blessing, 

That  no  after- search  can  find, — 

Ofttimes  tripping,  sometimes  falling, 

Speeding  on  with  flying  feet, 
Dreams  of  bliss  my  soul  enthralling, 

Heeding  not  the  sun's  fierce  heat ; — 


4l6  POETRY. 

Of  the  happy  future  dreaming, 
Of  the  glories  just  before, 

On  the  far  horizon  gleaming, 
That  enchanted  smiling  shore. 

And  I  saw,  as  I  came  nearer, 

Waving  trees  and  sparkling  streams  ; 

Fairer  shone  the  scene,  and  clearer, 
Brighter  than  my  brightest  dreams. 

Groves  and  gardens  softly  shaded, 
Stately  mansions,  snowy  white  ; — 

But,  alas,  the  vision  faded, 

Faded  from  my  ravished  sight. 

Then  I  grew  so  faint  and  tired, 
That  I  only  longed  for  rest ; 

All  my  glowing  hopes  expired, 
And  despair  my  soul  possessed. 

Now  I  know  the  land  enchanted, 
That  had  gleamed  before  my  eyes, 

Was  a  desert  mirage,  painted 
On  the  brazen  blazing  skies. 

And  my  feet  shall  wander  ever 
On  this  burning  scorching  sand  ; 

I  shall  faint  and  fail,  and  never 
Shall  I  reach  the  Golden  Land.

England. 


ERRATA   (additional). 


[It  is  but  justice  to  the  printer,  to  state,  that  the  blame  for  the  errors 
found  rests  upon  the  author,  who  is  alone  responsible  for  the  proof-reading 
by  "  copy," — which  should  have  been  done  twice  before  printing,  in  a 
work  of  this  kind,  instead  of  once  only,  as  was  the  case.]
