farmer, son of Stephen and Susanna (Dunning) Weeks, of Wilton. He was born at Norwalk, 13 Jan. 1795. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. About the time of their marriage, he united with the Baptist Church, in Wilton. They removed to Henrietta, Monroe Co., N.Y., in 1821, and thence, in 1835, to Webster, in the same county, where he died, from a fall, 10 Dec. 1872, having served the Baptist Church of Webster, as a deacon, for thirty years. A notice in the Examiner and Chronicle, for 2 Jan. 1873, says: "His religious life was happy and cheerful; his faith strong, ever manifesting, even to the last a deep and abiding interest in the prosperity of Zion. His death was sudden, but bereaved friends are consoled by the thought that he 'sleeps in Jesus.'" He was buried in a cemetery on the Ridge Road, two miles east of Webster Village. She lived at Webster in 1874, the last survivor of her father's thirteen children.
