In researching the WEED family and the descendants of the immigrant Jonas
WEED, I am stuck in determining how the grandfather of Thurlow Weed, the New
York State publisher and editor of several newspapers in the 19th century,
ties to Jonas Weed of Watertown, MA, Wethersfield, CT and Stamford, CT. In
Thurlow Weed's two volume autobiography (edited and published after his
death by his daughter and grandson) it notes that he was a descendant of
Jonas Weed but merely says that Thurlow's grandfather was Nathan Weed of
Stamford. There were numerous Nathan Weeds in Stamford, CT in the latter
part of the 18th century but which one was the grandfather of Thurlow?
Nathan Weed moved with his family from Stamford to Greene Co., NY following
the Revolutionary War. Does anyone on this list have information on these
Weeds? Thanks.
