About Selia "Celie" Berryhill

Burial unknown.

I believe that Selia Weeks is sometimes confused with Celia Weeks (1816-1897) who married Alexander Berryhill (1818-1875), son of William and Margaret Weeks Berryhill. Margaret Weeks Berryhill was the sister of Selia Weeks.


In the beginning, Benjamin's birthdate was estimated, based on his children's. All of his children's birthdates were estimated, except for Margaret's, where censuses were used. It is not known their exact order of birth, because they were listed as follows, by gender, in John Franklin Weeks's little book--i.e--"My Great Grand Father's name was Benjamin. His oldest son Charley maried a Miss Upton, his 2nd son James who was my Grand Father maied a Miss Francis Goff. William his 3rd son maried a Miss Wiggins. Elizabeth oldest Daughter maryed Quiller Mathis or Mathews, Bashaby 2nd Daughter maryed William Mathis. Catherine 3rd Daughter maried a McCullar or McColough. Mary 4th Daughter marryed Nathaniel Moseley. Selia 5th Daughter maried Alesc Berryhill, Peggy or Margaret marriyed William Berryhill." [Photocopy in possession of Virginia Weeks Warbington]
