Elizabeth Williams (Weeks) - Who does this Elizabeth Weeks belong to? And who is the correct spouse? Who are her parents?

It’s looking like two different Elizabeth Weeks & also two different Terence Henley’s. (?) Do you have a link to Terence Henley children ?

I have the following children with links to Boston Church and Thwing Collection for marriage and births:

Charles, 1695 https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/boston-ma-inhabitants-a...

Nathaniel, baptized 3 May 1697.https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/boston-ma-church-record...=

John, baptized 2 May 1698 https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/boston-ma-church-record...

Elisabeth, baptized 28 Aug 1699 https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/boston-ma-church-record...=

Experience, baptized 11 May 1700 https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/boston-ma-church-record...=

Jabesh, baptized 7 Jun 1702 https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/boston-ma-church-record...=

The marriages of the children are documented in The Records Relating to Early Boston - https://archive.org/stream/recordsrelating00commgoog/recordsrelatin...

My suggested solution is for you to make a separate Elizabeth Weeks b 1653 profile married to Terence Henley, and you can cross link in the “abouts.” If it proves out they are the same, they can be merged.

The current configuration makes you uncomfortable and I think that should be respected: it stops tree development.

Erica Howton Good idea. Will do. Thanks.

Erica Howton I completed the process of creating a new Elisabeth Weeks, wife of Terrence Henley. Can you disconnect Elizabeth Williams from Terrence Henley as they are separate people with children born at the same time, but in different geographical locations. Thank you!

Elisabeth Henley

Done.

Thank you so much Erica Howton

I put together some information on this topic as I am trying to solve the same puzzle. Her it is.

Torrey’s “New England Marriages Prior to 1700” has on pg.818: Williams, Charles (-1740),ae 88, Worcester & Elizabeth WEEKS (-1725), Worcester, 11 Jan 1686; Marlboro/Hadley/Middlesex.

George E. Williams in “Genealogy of Some of the Descendants of William Williams of Salem, Mass.” states that Charles Williams married (1) at Marlborough, Mass., January 11, 1686, Elizabeth Weeks, who died at Colchester, January 13, 1728, daughter of William Weeks of Worcester, Mass. It also states Charles and his father-in-law William Weeks helped in the second settlement of Worcester, Mass. Notice death date given here for Elizabeth is different than the one given by Torrey 1725/1728. Who is this William Weeks?

Philip M. Smith in TAG 17:191 states William Weeks of Enfield, 1690, left property to Elizabeth wife of Charles Williams, his kinswoman. William Weeks died at Enfield 18 July 1690 aged "about 60 yeres." So who ever this William Weeks is, he and Elizabeth Weeks wife of Charles Williams are some how related. According to the Weeks genealogy this William Weeks, d. 1690, is the son of Ammiel,2 George.

Gale Ion Harris in NEHGR 156(2002):151 has a listing of the children of Amiel and Elizabeth (Harris) Weeks which does not include a son William. Footnote #68 on this page has “A son William, baptized in Dorchester 26 August 1655 is given in “George Weeks of Dorchester” [note 60],1:70-71, however, the date matches the son William3 of William2 Weekes (George1) in the same work (p. 36) and a grandson William, son of Ameil, is not mentioned in the 1667 will of Jane Humphrey (wife of George Weeks).

The above entree for William son of William is listed between Elizabeth b 16 Sept. 1653 and Mary b. Nov. 10, 1656 which would place this William b.1654-55.

Pg. 36 further states that Elizabeth b. Sept. 16, bp. Sept. 18 1653(+), daughter of William, 2(George) m. at Boston, Apr. 2, 1694, Terrance Henley of Boston.

The Weeks genealogy has Elizabeth Weeks, daughter of Amiel Weeks, b.(???),bp. Oct. 17, 1657; d.19 Feb 1709/10, unmarried.

Thus it appears that the Elizabeth that married Charles Williams is somehow a descendant of George Weeks but how?

Stuart Wilson The death date of Elizabeth Weeks, daughter of Amiel Weeks is weirdly the same (almost) to Elizabeth widow Weeks wife of Timothy Mather, age 79, who died per tombstone 20 Feb 1709/10. I think this might be an error or do we have proof of this death date 19 Feb 1709/10?
