“He is an attorney and close neighbor (by my estimation within four miles) of the (John) Washington family at Wakefield. There is a good chance Joseph knew both Greek and Latin. His successful practice of law is repeated constantly in the Court records of the county until about 1714, when he dies. Sarah had preceded him earlier in death as he has a second wife at the time of his demise. She is the daughter of Nathaniel Pope, a powerful and well established colonial. They also have issue, Mary Weeks.

“During the first decade of the 18th century, we find that Joseph Weeks marries with Sarah Blagdon. Joseph has a number of court records in which he is referred to as Planter and Attorney. He is cited as having books of Greek, Latin and English in his possession. He also carries on a civil suit against Christopher Jones. Joseph accuses Jones of breaking into his house in the Appomattox Neck of Washington Parish and doing great damage. After Sarah passes away Joseph remarries Mary Pope.

“1703 Dec 30th: JOSEPH WEEKS, is named in the jury list of a trial along with Pope, Daniel, Field, Bourn, Graham and others.

It is ordered that the Sheriff summon an able jury to meet upon the premises on the second Monday in August and enquire what damages the plaintiff hath sustained by conditions of the trespass.

“1704 Aug 31st: Upon the motion of Charles Ashton Gent, Sheriff, it is ordered that MR JOSEPH WEEKS doe pay him 100 pounds of tobacco for his attendance on the jury between WEEKES and Jones.

The Jury, John Hore & c, find the plaintiff endamaged 5 pounds sterling. It is considered that the plaintiff recover 5 pounds sterling with her majesty's writ of here. fac. possessionem to the Sheriff to put the plaintiff into possession and seizin of the house and grounds.

Misc Notes:

“During the first decade of the 18th century, we find that Joseph Weeks marries with Sarah Blagdon. She is named executrix for William Booth who was formerly her guardian and he leaves very little to his widow. This causes many court proceedings, which substantiate Sarah's dates.

“William Weeks, the son of Joseph Weeks, was a planter (plantation owner) and witnessed the Revolutionary War along side of his sons, Joseph, William Jr., Alderson, George and possibly James Weeks. He is referred to in the records of Westmoreland County as William Weeks, Sr. He owned and operated a store in Falmouth, VA, at the time patriot troops came rushing forward to defend Fredericksburg from Cornwallis, who turned away towards Yorktown for the final battle with Washington. William Sr contributed supplies to the Revolution effort, but he died shortly before the Revolution ended.

William Weeks was named as Constable in Martin Brandon's Parish, which is nearby Washington Parish in Westmoreland County.

Misc. Notes

(Some sources show birth date of Mar 1749. Both are correct – the difference is simply the result of a calendar change, when the start of the new year was moved to January 1.)

Note from Timothy E. Peterman approved application for recognition as a descendant of James Weeks says “...assisted in extablishing American Independence while acting in the capacity of Private, Capt. Prymm’s Co., under Col. Garrard, 1778; Sergeant, Capt. Prymm’s Co., 1781 Virginia. He enlisted in the Stafford Co., Virginia Militia in August 1776.”

One site claims "Founded Baptist Churches in VA and KY". Have not found any supporting evidence to date.

1810 CENSUS, VIRGINIA, FAUQUIER CO:

James Weeks is over age 45, has two sons living at home (ages 16-25 and 26-44). His wife is over age 45, there are three daughters (one age 10-15, two age 16-25). They have three slaves.

1810 CENSUS DISCUSSION:

The above entry requires some discussion, in order to be convinced that I have found the correct James Weeks. The convincing information is that three of James' neighbors, on the same census page, are related to his family. Also please note that James seems to have not been indexed correctly (the "Weeks" name is hard to read because of the handwriting), so a user of the index will have to look for one of the following three people. They and James can then all be found on the same census page:

The neighbors are: Thomas Weeks is James' son. In the household there are 5 males, 5 females, and 8 slaves. Mary Hampton is the mother of Susanna Hampton, who married James' son Lewis (our ancestor). This family has Mary plus 5 males under age 25, one female under 25, and 6 slaves. Lawson Hathaway is almost certainly the brother of the Mary (Hathaway) Hampton noted above. Lawson and his wife are age 26-44, and they have a son and a daughter under age 10, and 9 slaves.

1820 CENSUS, BULLITT, KY: James Weeks: One male over age 45 (He would be about 70), one female age 26-44 (a daughter?), one male slave under 14, two female slaves 14-25.

1830 CENSUS, SPENCER COUNTY, KY:

There is a James Weaks in the INDEX for the 1830 census for Spencer County, KY. There is 1 white, age 80-89, with 4 slaves. Slaves are 1 male under age 10, 1 male age 10-23, 1 female under age 10, 1 female age 24-35. (James is on Page 326. His son “Louis Weaks” is on Page 328, see later notes with Lewis.)

Misc. Notes

ANCESTRY.COM FLYNN/FLINN/FLYNT FAMILIES SUGGESTS:

James Weeks spouse was Elizabeth LUNCEFORD. But no further data given.

ANCESTRY.COM, DONEVA SHEPARD’S FAMILY, ALSO SAYS “ELIZABETH LUNSFORD”

1792 Oct 8

October Court 1792, It appearing to the satisfaction of the Court from the Testimony of several witnesses this day sworn and examined that ELIZABETH WEEKS, Margaret Lunsford and Sally Delany are the lawful heirs of William Lunsford, who served as a Cornel [sic] & Quartermaster in the Partizan Legan during the War as appears from a certificate Henry Lee, commander of said Army, and died in the said Service and as heirs aforesaid entitled to any compensation due to the said Lunsford from this State or from the United States for his service aforesaid, it is ordered same be certified. [Source: Stafford County records, found at Fredericksburg Public Library, in the Gen room, marked p 332 in original documents.]

EXPLANATION: It would appear that the above William Lunsford was Elizabeth's brother. Also the "Cornel" probably means "Cornet", which (according to Wikipedia) was a low-ranking officer (below a lieutenant), who was responsible for carrying the troop standard, also known as a "Cornet".

Subject: Lewis Weeks of Vigo Co., IN

Author: Timothy Peterman

Date: 23 Oct 2002 9:11 AM GMT

Email: TEPeter100@aol.com

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lewis Weeks (1779-1849) married Susanna Hampton (1796-1890). Both families were from the northern neck of Virginia, moved to Kentucky, & settled in Vigo Co., IN in the mid 1830s. Lewis & Susanna had a large family, including my ancestress, Susan (Weeks) Barbre (1818-1872). I am trying to find one document, such as a Family Bible record, or a court record, that clearly proves that Susan (Weeks) Barbre was the daughter of Lewis & Susanna.

1820 CENSUS, OHIO COUNTY, KY:

“Lewis Weaks” is age group 26-44. Wife (Susanna) is 16-25. There are 4 females under age 10. They have one male slave, age 14-25.

1830 CENSUS, KENTUCKY, SPENCER CO.:

Lewis Weeks (indexed as Weaks) is age 50-60, wife is age 30-40. Children consist of six females, all under the age of 20, with age groups precisely consistent with known descendants. They have no slaves.

1840 CENSUS, INDIANA, VIGO COUNTY, PIERSON TWP:

Lewis Weeks is in the age group “60-70”, his wife is “40-50”. The ages of the children are a fit, with 2 males and 5 females living at home.

FIND-A-GRAVE: Lewis L Weeks is buried Second Prairie Creek Cemetery in Vigo County Indiana, USA, died April 26, 1849. Wife Susanna in same cemetery, died June 13, 1881. There are 41 “Weeks” in this cemetery.

Marriage: 8 May 1810 Loudoun Co., VA

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Spouse: Susanna HAMPTON

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Birth: 29 Jan 1796 Fauquier Co., VA

Death: 13 Jun 1890 Vigo Co., IN

Father: Joseph HAMPTON (1765-1802)

Mother: Mary Molly HATHAWAY (1768-1854)

Misc. Notes

1850 CENSUS, INDIANA, VIGO COUNTY, LINTON TWP:

Susan Weeks, age 54, is head of household. She has real-estate worth $500, and was born in Virginia. Living at home are Sarah age 22, Martha age 19, Luellen age 16, William age 14, and Alfred age 10. Living next door is William Weeks, presumably her brother-in-law. And also Joseph and Lewis Weeks, possibly her nephews? Combining birth dates and locations of both sets of children suggest the families moved from Kentucky to Indiana in 1836.

1860 CENSUS, INDIANA, VIGO COUNTY, LINTON TWP:

The index is screwed up, and the image is very difficult to read. However my interpretation is that Susan Weeks, age 64, is living in the household of her son, A. H. Weeks, age 20, a farmer, born in Indiana. His wife appears to be Sarah E Weeks*, age 34, born in Virginia. Also in the household is Susan’s daughter Sarah Weeks, age 32, born in Kentucky.

*Memo: Various trees show that Alfred H Weeks married Sarah Ellen French.

1870 CENSUS, INDIANA, VIGO COUNTY, LINTON TWP:

Susan Weeks (age illegible) is living with her daughter Sarah, who claims to be age 38 (actually she is 42). Susan is keeping house. They have real estate worth $100 and personal estate worth $80.

1880 CENSUS, INDIANA, VIGO COUNTY, LINTON TWP., VILLAGE OF PIMENTO:
