During researcsing one Absalom Weeks, Icame upon a listing in the DAR Lineage Books which reads as follows:
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Volume 16 page 87
Mrs. Blanche Miller Graham.
DAR ID Number : 155269
Born in Webster City, Iowa.
Wife of Otto J. Graham.
Descendent of Absalom Weeks, as follows:
1. Stephen H. Weeks(b.1849)m.1874 Nettie Weeks(1847-1909).
2. James Weeks(1811-92) m.1832 Phoebe Waterbury(1810-90).
3. Nathaniel Underhill Weeks(1789-1868)m.1840 Phoebe Doty.
4. James Weeks(1761-1865)m.Mary Underhill(1768-1825).
5. Absalom Weeks m. - Van Tassel.
Absalom Weeks served as a private in the 3rd Westchester County, New York regiment, under Col. Pierre Van Cortland. He was born{p.87]1740, and lived in Westchester County, New York, during the Revolution.Items 3 and 4 appear identical to people in your reply of Jan 13,2000 to Randy Weeks. If these people are one and the same ypu might have a slight change in your lineage? Absalom to Solomon, to Daniel, TO Francis Weeks?
