Notes:
The passenger book for the "Mary and John" lists Amiel Weeks marryingAbigail Trescott. pg. 21. Abigail is the daughter of Elizabeth Dyer andWilliam Trescott. Elizabeth is the daughter of George Dyer and Abigailwho are listed in Bold print (probablypassengers) The History of Marlborough lists Supply Weeks as the first person namedWeeks in Marlborough and as the son of Amiel and Abigail Trescott Weeksof Dorchester. This can't be right. My previous work with no sources lists Amiel as having been born inSeaton and Beer, Devon, England 6 Nov 1631 and died 29 Apr 1679 inDorchester, Mass. Ammiel's son Ammiel may have married AbigailTrescott. MORE RESEARCH NEEDED - Who was Abigail Trescott marriedto? Genealogy of the Family of George Weekes G7019 Carlsbad #2page 69 Ammiel was born in England in 1633 and was admitted to the church inDorchester with his wife Elizabeth May 18, 1656 and was made free andtook his oath the May 6, 1657. The earliest mention in the townrecords of his holding land is in 1657. He was a constable in 1673againin 1674 and 1678; he held other positions of trust at differenttimes.It would appear from the inventory of his estate that he inheritedthe profession of land surveyor from his father.

The gravetones of Ammiel and his wife now standing in the southwest partof the old graveyard in Stoughton street near Upham's corner, Dorchester.A tract including "Weekes Hill agianst which Thomas Davenport's landabutted is supposed to have belonged toAmmiel.

Another source says Ammiel died 20 Mar 1679 and was born 1633. Dying atage 46 years makes more sense. Buried in Dorchester MA on SW ptofGraveyard on Stoughton Street , near Upham's corner.
