Susan Weeks b.c. 1775 married 1795 Joseph Bush, son of Elnathan & Vashti Stebbins Bush) of Bainbridge, Chenango County, NY and died 29 Dec 1797, a few days after the birth of their daughter also named Susan.

Susan Bush, b. 24 Dec 1797 married Alanson Burr, 7 Sept 1811 in Bainbridge and then moved across the state to Caneadea, Allegany County, NY. She died 20 Aug 1839.

I descend from their 3rd son, Alanson Andrew Jackson Burr born 29 May 1825.

According to History of Chenango and Madison Counties, Susan Weeks' father was an early settler in the town of Guilford.

According to Annals of Oxford Stephen Weeks and wife came from Long Island,settled in Bainbridge, then moved five miles farther and located on "Cider" creek, near Yaleville (Guilford. He died in 1813, leaving his wife with eight children. He left a will which I need to get a copy.

Could her father have been Stephen Weeks/Weekes/Wicks? Or maybe this is her brother or uncle?

I have all my Bush and Stebbins lines completed and have tried for years to get something more on my Alanson Burr line.

Any help with my Weeks line would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I read the will.

Stephen Weeks of Oxford, Chenango County, New York died 26 August 1813 at 47 years of age and his will was probated on 13 December 1816. According to Edith G. Colwell, Chairman Historical Research, Agwrondougwas Chapter, DAR, Bainbridge, Chenango County, NY, Stephen is buried in burial ground on land owned by Frank Weeks, date not listed. Also in same burial ground, are graves of two children of Hiram and Effy Hubbard; one infant son and one daughter Marcia E, aged 17 months.

Stephen's wife was Anna or Amy Fish, b. 1775 in Dutchess County, NY and died 26 Feb 1867. She rests in the First Baptist Church Cemetary, in Afton, Chenango, NY.

Stephen's will lists sons Ezra, Elam, Ira, Lewis (Luis), Enos and Stephen (b. 26 March 1813, m. Julia Williams, d. 5 Oct 1874). His daughters are listed as Anne (b. 1796 - Guildford, Chenango, NY, m Stephen Page 1815 and died 2 Aug 1883 in Afton), Reney and Effie (b. 1810, m. Hiram Hubbard).

Amy Fish Weeks’ sister was Rachel Fish and she married Luther Page. Possible connection between 2 Pages?

I think my Susan Weeks Bush was related in some way to Stephen Weeks, either as a sister, cousin, or niece.

In 1795 Stephen Wicks of Jericho bought 128 3/4 acres of land in Oxford Town (Guilford)from John Anson. In 1829 Lewis Weeks II sold this same land to Alvah C. Bush of Bainbridge. (Alvah Bush is my Susan Bush Burr's uncle and she named a son after him.) In 1837 Alvah Bush sold this same piece of land to the younger Stephen Weeks of Guilford.

Does anyone descend from Ezra, Elam, Ira, Lewis, Enos, Stephen, Anne, Reney or Effie?

Does anyone have parentage of this Stephen Weeks?

Does he come from Long Island?

Thank you!
