In his will, dated 26 November 1672 and proved 7 November 1676, Jonas Weed Sr. bequeathed to "his wife Mary Weed the house he now lives in and the use of the houselot with two acres of meado w and two acres of upland lying in the East Field during her lifetime," as well as £20 in moveables, including "his gr eat Bible"; to "his eldest son John Weed two acres of meadow lying in Rockie Neck and more to the value of five pounds"; to "his son Daniell Weed" £10; to "his son Jonas Weed" £ 1; to "his daughter Mary Abbot the wife of Georg[e] Abbot " 30s.; to "his daughter Dorcas the wife of James Wright" 1 0s.; to "his son Samuell" £20; to John Rockwell 5s. and "five pounds in Daniel's hands for Elizabeth"; to "his daughter Sarah the sum of five shillings and in case she do retur n again to the truth then he doth by will give unto her the sum of five pounds"; to "his daughter Hannah Benj[amin] H oit's wife" £10; wife Mary Weed, son Daniel Weed and son Jo nas Weed to be executors [«u»Fairfield PR «/u» 3:16]. The
inventory of the estate of "Jonas Weed Sr.," taken 5 June 16 76, totalled £116 9s. 6d., including £58 in real estate: " 4 acres meadow," £16; "6 acres of upland," £18; "2 acres meadow," £8; "½ Shiphan dividend of land," £6; "Rocky Neck last dividend," £2; "waste land in Rocky Neck," £20s.; and "1 ½ acre meadow next Mr. Lawes in the East Field," £7 [«u»Fai rfield PR «/u» 3:16]. The inventory of "widow Mary Weed of Stamford," exhibited 10 March 1689/90, totalled £23 7s. 9 d., with no real estate included [«u»Fairfield PR «/u» Case #6731]. In the estate papers of Robert Stewart of Norwalk, 1688, is a document on the reverse of which is an account of the estate of Mary Weed, dated 10 March 1689[/90], in which "Beniaman Haight," Daniel Weed and Jonas Weed Sr. claim expenses [«u»Fairfield PR «/u»Case #6126]. BIRTH: By 1610 based on date of freemanship. (When John Winthrop Jr . treated Jonas Weed in 1669 he gave his age as seventy [«u »WMJ «/u» 884], but this seems inflated.) DEATH: Stamford between 26 November 1672 (date of will) and 5 June 1676 (date of inventory), and probably closer to the latter date. MA RRIAGE: By about 1637 Mary _____ (assuming she was the moth er of all his children, but see COMMENTS below). She died b y 10 March 1689/90. CHILDREN: i MARY, b. say 1637; m. by ab out 1657 George Abbott [«u»FOOF «/u» 1:5]. ii JOHN, b. sa y 1639 ("eldest son"); m. (1) by 1664 Joanna Westcott (on 1 4 February 1664/5 "John Weed of Stamford, husband of Joann a daughter of Richard Westcott, receipted to his father-in-law Thomas Skidmore" [«u»FOOF «/u» 1:660]); m. (2) after 16 78 Mary _____ [«u»FOOF «/u» 1:653, citing «u»Fairfield PR « /u» 5:290]. iii DORCAS, b. say 1641; m. Wethersfield 20 Nov ember 1660 James Wright ([«u»WetVR Barbour «/u» 309, citin g «u»WetLR «/u» 2:30] bride's surname not given). iv DANIEL , b. say 1643; m. by 1675 Ruth _____ (eldest child b. 18 November 1675 [«u»Gillespie Anc «/u» 542-43]). v JONAS, b. say 1645; m. 16 November 167[0] Bethia Holly [«u»TAG «/u» 11: 33, citing «u»StTR «/u» 1:113]. vi ELIZABETH, b. say 1647; m. by an unknown date John Rockwell. vii SARAH, b. say 16 49; living on 26 November 1672 (father's will), having strayed from "the truth"; no further record. (Paul Prindle ha s shown that she could not be the Sarah Weed who married in 1698 David Waterbury [«u»TAG «/u» 28:96-98]). viii HANNAH , b. about 1651 (in 1669 John Winthrop Jr. treated "Weed, H annah, 20y., daughter of Jonas of Stamford" [«u»WMJ «/u» 88 4]; in line with our procedure for sequencing the children in this family [see COMMENTS below], we assume that the age given here by Winthrop is an approximation and not a precise date); m. Stamford 5 January 1670[/1] Benjamin Hoyt [« u»TAG «/u» 11:33, citing «u»StTR «/u» 1:113], son of «u»SIM ON HOYT «/u». ix SAMUEL, b. say 1653; m. by about 1680 Mary _____ (administration on his estate was granted to his wi dow Mary Weed and son Jacob Weed on 13 November 1708 [«u»Fa irfield PR «/u» 5:148a, 394]). x Child, d. Stamford 15 Jul y 1656 [«u»TAG «/u» 10:44, citing «u»StTR «/u» 1:19]. COMMENTS: The lack of any record of Jonas Weed between 18 May 1 631 and 29 March 1636 may indicate that he had returned to England for part of this period. However, the clear recor d that he was in Wethersfield very early in 1636, and proba bly late in 1635, would indicate that he had already sold a ny land he might have had in Watertown, and could well hav e received a houselot and other grants of land during his s tay there. Savage divided this Jonas into two men, a father at Watertown and Wethersfield, and a son at Stamford, but the records are consistent with the assumption that onl y one Jonas Weed was present in New England during these ye ars. An entry in Manwaring's abstracts of Connecticut proba te records of 1657 refers to "Jonas Weed late of Southampton L.I." [«u»Manwaring «/u» 1:113]. This must be a misreadin g for Jonas Wood. Given the lack of birthdates for this family, deciding on the birth order has been especially difficult. Many times a seventeenth-century testator will name all the sons first, and then all the daughters, but that is c ertainly not the case here. We will consider three other po ssibilities. First, Jonas Weed may have made bequests to his nine surviving children in the order of their birth; as b oth Mary and Dorcas married earlier than John, they cannot have been fourth and fifth in birth order, to correspon d with their positions in the will, unless the immigrant was married much earlier than indicated above. Second, their father may have made his bequests in no particular order ; this may in fact be the case, but for the sake of argument we will examine and adopt a third possibility. The sequen ce of children as named in the will of Jonas may be seen as two groupings: first, John, Daniel, Jonas, Mary and Dorcas; and second, Samuel, Elizabeth, Sarah and Hannah. All tho se in the first group appear to be older than those in the second group, and within each group the sons are named be fore the daughters. If this interpretation reflects reality , then we would conclude that Jonas had two wives, and tha t the two groups represent sets of half-siblings. As ther e is no evidence for two wives other than these speculation s on birth order, only one wife is assigned here to Jonas Weed, but the possibility of there having been two wives remains. Continuing along this line of speculation, the childr en have been listed above on the assumption that within each of the two subgroups the sons are listed in birth order and the daughters are listed in birth order, but one or more of the daughters may be older than one or more of the son s. This requires in a few instances departure from urusua l rules of sequencing children, but does not produce any chronological impossibilities. (Note especially that sons Daniel and Jonas are named in close proximity in three places in the probate documents, and that Daniel always precedes Jonas, even though Jonas seems to have married about five years before Daniel.) BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1930 Donald Lines Jacobus published a brief account of Jonas Weed [«u »FOOF «/u» 1:652], and in 1976 Paul Prindle prepared a more extensive treatment [«u»Gillespie Anc «/u» 533-48].

This Jonas Weed, baptised in 1597, seems to be the right age to be the Jonas Weed of Stamford noted by John Winthrop in his medical journal in 1668 as being 70 years old
