About the photo of Wylie (1865-1930) and Charley Weeks--it was shared with me by a cousin. Wylie is the one sitting down and I personally think Charley (supposedly standing by him) looks too young to be Charley but I have no idea...Linda Mills

| Notes |
- William Henry was about 24 when he married 16-year-old Martha Anderson in Perry County in 1876. Their first child, John Wiley or Wesley was born July 15, 1878 in Tennessee when Martha was about 18 but by the time of the 1880 census, they are living in Shoal Creek, Barry County, Missouri where his father James Swindle was living. The 1880 census taken June 16th 1880, page 27, ED3 show William Henry and his family (last name spelled Wicks) on lines 10-12, just below his half-sister Martha and her husband James Parks and their family:
Wicks, William 26, farmer, can't read or write, born in Tennessee, both parents born in Tennessee
Wicks, Martha 21, wife, keeping house, can't read or write, born in Tennessee, both parents born in Tennessee
Wicks, John 1, son, born in Tennessee, both parents born in Tennessee
In the 1900 census, William Henry and his family are still living in Shoal Creek, ED14, 23 June, Sheet 15, lines 50-61:
Weeks, William born February 1852, 48, married 24 years, born in TN, father born in TN, mother born in Alabama, farmer, can read and write, owns his farm (mortgaged)
Weeks, Martha, wife, born February 1860, 40, married 24 years, born in TN, father born in TN, mother born in AL
Weeks, John, son, born July 1878, 21, single, born in TN, father born in TN, mother born in AL, farm laborer
Weeks, Arthur, son, born April 1881, 19, single, born in MO, both parents born in TN, farm laborer
Weeks, Oscar, son, born February 1883, 17, single, born in MO, both parents born in TN, farm laborer
Weeks, Albert, son, born October 1884, 15, born in MO, both parents born in TN, farm laborer
Weeks, Mintie, daughter, born March 1886, 14, born in MO, both parents born in TN
Weeks, Mamie, daughter, born December 1888, 11, born in MO, both parents born in TN
Weeks, Loyd, son, born October 1890, 9, born in MO, both parents born in TN
Weeks, Monta, daughter, born April 1893, 7, born in MO, both parents born in TN
Weeks, Maudie, daughter, born June 1895, 4, born in MO, both parents born in TN
Weeks, Mable, daughter, born March 1899, 1, born in MO, both parents born in TN
William Henry is in the 1920 census for Curry County, ED50, Sheet 5A, lines 44-45, 12-14 January:
Weeks, William H., owns his home (mortgaged), 67, widowed, can read and write, born in TN, father born in TN, mother born in AL, farmer
Weeks, Monta P., daughter, 22, single, can read and write, born in MO, both parents born in TN, no occupation
According to a report done by Tama Spencer who descends from William Henry’s daughter Mayme, William Henry leased his land in New Mexico for oil in 1920.
The 1930 census shows William Henry living in Murry County Oklahoma, Allen Township, ED50-1, Sheet 8A, 17 April, line 2, Dwelling 124, family 126:
Weeks, William H., living on a farm he owns, age 78, widow, born in TN, father born in U.S., mother born in Alabama, farmer, truck farm.
As far as we know, William Henry never remarried. He died October 29, 1946 in Purdy, Barry County, Missouri and was buried in Corsicana Cemetery where his wife and his father James Swindle were buried.
I have a copy of his death certificate and it says he was born February 4, 1850 in Memphis, Tennessee. He wasn't in the 1850 census with either his mother Ann or the Swindle family, but he is in the 1860 census as age 8, which means he probably was born in 1852. His father's name is listed as ? Weeks, born in Tennessee, and his mother's maiden name is not given. Her first name is almost impossible to read but looks like it could be Cynthia. It also says he died in the rural area of Exeter and that he was a retired farmer. His obit was in the Cassville Missouri Democrat.
