Info. re: Alba Elias Weeks and Elias S. Weeks
I am looking for any information on my gggrandfather,Alba Elias Weeks and his father, Elias S. Weeks.
Alba Elias was born Feb. 21, 1849 in Sherbrooke Prov., Quebec, Canada; he was married to Sarah Ann Ferguson on October 27, 1867 in Jones Co., Iowa.He & Sarah had five children:
Mary Lenora Weeks
Charles Emil Weeks
Fred Calvin Weeks
Louise Maud Weeks
John Elmer Weeks
After Sarah Ann's death in Dec. 1879, Alba married Verna Inez Timblin and they had five children:
Guy B. Weeks
Ferguson Alba Weeks
George Earl Weeks
Ruth Lydia Weeks
Elias Glen Weeks
Alba's parents were Elias S. Weeks and Lydia Maria Elliott.
Elias was born November 3, 1816 in Peacham, Vermont (Caledonia Co.). He died June 12, 1864 in Burtram (Linn Co.), Iowa.
I'm very interested in learning who Elias' parents were:one ahnentafel on Ancestry.com has Elias descending from the Leonard Weeks line from New Hampshire, and names parents as Joel Weeks and Nancy Ladd, but follow-up research I've done at the New England Historic Genealogy Library indicates that John Weeks and Elizabeth Calley of Epping, New Hampshire, did not have a son named Joel, so I'm at a loss as to who Elias S. Weeks' parents were.
Any relevant information would be very helpful and appreciated.
