Some Weed Family Geneology

Jonas Weed b. 1575 England m. Mary Jane Davidson b. 1580 England   Jonas Weed I (Immigrant) b. 1598 England d. 1676 Stamford CT (age 78)   m. Mary (?) b. 1616 England d. 1689 Stamford CT Jonas arrived via Arabella (in the 1630 Winthrop Fleet), established himself in Watertown MA, made Freeman May 1631. Few years later, he helped found Wethersfield CT, first official settlement in CT. He soon moved to Stamford CT and became one of the leading figures in early Stamford. Arrived with John (cousin?). Both moved to Wethersfield but John did not move to Stamford with Jonas. Instead, he moved to Salisbury, married Deborah Winsley and started another Weed line.     Elizabeth 1637     Mary 1638     John 1639     Dorcas 1641     Samuel 1645     Hannah 1650     Daniel 1652     Sarah 1654     unnamed 1656     Jonas Weed II b. 1647 CT d. 1704 CT (age 57)     m.

Abigail Hoyt b. 1740           William Weed b. 1774 NY           m. Olive Branch b. 1772            Tracy Hoyt Weed b. 1811 NY            m. Cynthia Cherrington b. 1815 Cynthia may have been a 2nd cousin to Abraham Lincoln...her grandfather Wm. Cherrington married Margaret Hanks. Still tracking this down. Cherrington family geneologists say that Margaret Hanks was unrelated to Lincoln's mother Nancy. If they saw me bearded, they might rethink their position. While it could be a coincidence, I look much so like Abe that it's scary. Will probably never know for sure, as conditions in that part of the country during that time were extremely fluid and documentation wasn't high on their list of priorities.             William Branch Weed b. 1836             m. Josephine Topping b. 1838               Cynthia Sophia Weed b. 1872 OH d. 1965 CO               m. Charles Steele b. 1850: in Albany or Auburn NY, d.1926 CO Son of Jacob Steele. Found NYS death certificate for Jacob in area north of Rochester NY, near Auburn. Family tradition says Jacob was an architect. At that time, there were no schools of architecture and the label implies self-education and/or European background. Will pursue when time permits.                 Lee 1893 - died young                 Edna (Dolly) 1896 - died young                 Mabel 1898                 Mary 1901                 Nell 1904                 Herbert 1907                 Charles b. 1910 d. 2002                 Elizabeth (Betty) b. 1913 d. 1990                 m.
