The following is from "The Genealogy of Francis Weekes of Providence, R.I., Gravesend, Hempstead, and Oyster Bay", by Dr. Frank Edgar Weeks, Kipton, Ohio, 1938. It differs from "American Ancestry", Vol 9, p 85. Dr. Weeks spent so many years in compiling three editions of his genealogy that I am taking his information as correct. Thomas Weekes was baptized July 9/1651, and died in 1716. He lived at Oyster Bay, on the south east corner of the highway to the Cove and Burial Hill Road, but evidently had other lands, as be gave his daughter Elizabeth, 30 acres of land at Fort Neck, Oyster Bay south, in 1698. In 1710 he gave to his son Thomas, all lands in the Old Purchase of the town of Oyster Bay, "reserving for myself six barrels of cider per annum, during the life of myself and my now wife Isabella. The name of his first wife is unknown. He married, 2nd, in 1679, Isabella, born 1662, believed to have been the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Potter) Harcourt, see subject 306. Issue:- (by his First wife, name unknown) 1/1. Elizabeth Weekes. Born 1674, died December 20/1762. She married Thomas Alling (or Allen). Issue:- 2/1. Sarah Allen, born November 11/1775: she married John Seaman, who died May 11/1798, son of Thomas and Mary (---) Seaman. Issue:- (by his second wife Isabella Harcourt) 1/2. Thomas Weekes. Born June 4/1686, died February 18/1761. He married Sarah Townsend, born May 14/1685, died March 15/1759, daughter of George and Mary (Hawkhurst) Townsend, see subject 154, page 1. See subject 76 for issue and further particulars. 1/3. Jonathan Weekes. Died April 26/1730. He married Elizabeth ----. 1/4. Isabel Weekes. Died before 1730. he married before 1707, Robert Brush, born at Huntington, L.I., June 30/1685, died before June 20/1766, youngest son of Richard and Joanne (Sammis) Brush. After Isabel's death, he married, 2nd, on February 6/1733-4, Mary Brush, widow of Jacob Brush. Issue:- (from the N.Y. Gen & Biog Record Vol 66, p 218) 2/1. Reuben Brush, born about 1708. 2/2. Daniel Brush, born about 1710, died 1775-1781. He married in December 1755, Amy Barto who died 1795-1798. 2/3. Jonathan Brush, born 1715. 2/4. Mary Brush. She married James Pine. She nay have been the daughter of Robert Brush by his second wife Mary Brush, widow of Jacob, or the daughter of Jacob Brush. 1/5. Deborah Weekes. Date of birth unknown, but probably between 1680 and 1690. She died October 10/1739. The Weekes Genealogy says she married Richard Ellison, who died March 26/1719, son of Lawrence Ellison of Hempstead. However, the "Alison, Allison Family in America", by Leonard Allison Morrison, Grand Rapids, Mich., 1926, states that this Richard Ellison was the grandson of Lawrence Ellison by Lawrence, a son Richard, and that the husband of Deborah was born February 7/1660, and that he lived in Hempstead in 1686, removed in 1715 to Monmouth County, N.J.: and that his wife was Alice or Elsie ---: and that he gave his Hempstead lands to his sons. That Deborah married an Ellison, is confirmed in her brother Richard Weekes' will, dated September 13/1717, see below, in which he called her Deborah Ellison. The Townsend Genealogy further complicates this, by saying Deborah married Absalom Townsend, born about 1690, son of Henry and Eliphal (Wright) Townsend, see subject 616, page 2, and had four children. I have not been able to straighten this out. Subject 152. P2 (230) Issue:- (by Richard Ellison) 2/1. Daniel Ellison. 2/2. Richard Ellison. 2/3. Samuel Ellison. 2/4. Sarah Ellison, 2/5. Ruth Ellison. 2/6. Mary Ellison. 2/7. Susannah Ellison. 1/6. Richard Weekes. He was not mentioned in the Weekes genealogy. Date of birth unknown. His will, dated September 15/1717, left the whole of his estate to his brother Jonathan, he to pay œ23 to each of his brothers and sisters, namely, Thomas, Elizabeth Allen, Isabel Brush, and Deborah Ellison. Richard was evidently not married.
