Hi Laura,

I'm not certain if I have the correct Elizabeth Weeks, but there was an Elizabeth Weeks in that area around that time and the dates seem to fit. There was a very large Weeks population in the area and Elizabeth is a very common name in there.

Elizabeth Weeks was born to William and Mary (unknown) Weeks on 9 Nov 1731 in Dorchester. I have done extensive search on this family and know they were in the Dedham area somewhat around the time you mention their marriage. Given the date of her death, she would be 80 years and 5 months exactly. Too good to be true?

I descend from Elizabeth's brother. His name was Hezekiah and I have done extensive research on him but not Elizabeth. There is a very "infamous" Weeks Genealogy book that many people rely on that was written in 1885. I have used this book as a guide only. I have found many innacuracies but is generally useful.

I have other information preceeding Elizabeth's parents. Would be glad to share. Please contact me directly at weeksgen@aol.com and maybe we can make the connection.

Thanks.
Karen
