    American Ancestors: See Book of Corrections Vol. 4 No. 3 -

    WEED/BROWN - See God's Country: A History of Pound Ridge, New York, by Jay Harris (1971). An error occurs in the Brown genealogy, p. 462, and "Corrections Supplement", p 14. Sarah WEED, who married Benajah BROWN, was the dau. of Jabez (Jonathan, Jonas) WEED, & Mary BATES, not of Gideon WEED (Jonas) & Sarah WATERBURY. In "Bedford Genealogy, Descendants of the Twenty-two Original Settlers, vol. IX", complied by Ronald B. Reynolds (1978), p. 164, Sarah's sister Mary WEED is also erroneously stated to be the dau. of Gideon WEED & Sarah WATERBURY. Inasmuch as Reynolds cites, correctly, dates indicating that Sarah WATERBURY would have been but 14 years old when Mary was born in 1740, and that Sarah did not marry Gideon until 1751, it is somewhat surprising that the error was not noticed The source of confusion appears to lie in a misinterpretation of the 1790 will of Gideon WEED, Jr. (Stamford Probate Records, vol. 8, p. 46), who was the brother of Sarah and mary (and Jabez,Jr.). Gideon, Jr. was the namesake and first cousin once removed, not the son of the Gideon WEED who married Sarah Waterbury. These relationships were not recognized in SLAUSON-SLAWSON-SLOSSON Family (1948), compiled by George C. Slawson, in which, p. 26, Mary WEED is given as the daughter of Gideon. It is from this source that subsequent researchers have been led astray. The true parentage of the siblings established by the will of Gideon WEED, Jr., was revealed in the typescript "BATES, Sellack, and Allied Families of Stamford, Norwalk, and Fairfield, Connecticut," by Henry S. Gorham (1938), Vol. 1, p. 26. Gorham utilized Conn, vital records and Stamford church records to prove that Jabez WEED and Mary BATES were parents of Mary (1940-1826), Jabez (1743-1829), Sarah (b. 1748) and Gideon (ca. 1750-1791).
