Note: The settlement of the estate of Joshua weeks jr., was an occassion of much trouble between two families. Old Capt. Joshua Weeks seems to have been a quiet farmer with 10 children, who was not often noticed in the Court Records. But his oldest son Joshua jr., married Sarah the daughter of RICHARD JENNESS, a lawyer, and died soon. Nine days after his death, the widow removed back to Rye, the home of her father, taking (it is to be supposed) her property with her. One year afterward she was appointed admin. upon the estate of her late husband and showed the appraisers which they estimated at 411 pounds 11 shillings.
