John H. Derthick married Lucy Elizabeth Weed at Lafayette, January 8, 1868, and to this union one child, Edna Lourene, was born. Mrs. Derthick is the daughter of Belden and Rachel Maria (Cherevoy) Weed. The father was born March 31, 1805, and the mother's birth occurred on October 18, 1820. They were married on February 27, 1844. Mr. Weed having one son, John Henry, by a previous marriage [to Mary Sherman, sourced from Certificate of Death of John Henry Weed], who is now living in Vermillion, South Dakota. Belden Weed was the son of Justus Weed, of Westerlo, Albany county. New York, and his mother was known in her maidenhood as Lucy Burdick. The birth of Justus Weed occurred on November 3, 1772, and his wife was born on May 22, 1777.

The following children were born to Belden and Rachel Weed : Lucy Elizabeth, born January 8, 1845; Juliett Beman, born January 6, 1851, married Fred W. Isham. January 8, 1878.

Belden and Rachel Weed were married in New Lebanon, Columbia county. New York, at which place the latter was born, and they went to housekeeping near that town, continuing to reside there ten years, removing with their two daughters to Freehold. Greene county, New York, in 1855, and lived there a year. They came to Lafayette township, Walworth county, Wisconsin, on April 19, 1856, and located on a farm which Mrs. Weed's brother, Edmund Cherevoy, had taken up from the government in 1841.

Later the father of Mrs. Weed and her brother, Charles, came to live with her here. The only buildings on the place were a toll-gate and an old school house, which had been moved there from the Derthick farm the spring before. The house now standing and occupied by a tenant was the toll-gate which Mr. Weed bought when it was abandoned and with some addition and alteration was converted into a home. Here they resided until April 1, 1879, when, with Mr. and Mrs. Isham and Charles Cherevoy, they moved to Elkhorn. Mr. Isham was county superintendent of schools at the time. They bought the old school house which had been converted into a residence by Dr. B. O. Reynolds. The death of Mrs. Isham occurred on May 26, 1890, and Mrs. Weed died on January 29, 1906.

The father of Mrs. Rachel Weed was Henry L. Cherevoy, a silversmith by trade, born October 24. 1789; he married Millie Abbey...[continued in book].
