Daniel WEED

1709 - Aft 1774  (> 66 years)

• Name	Daniel WEED  [2, 3]
  	"Connecticut Ancestry": Daniel Weed 3rd and Keziah, wife of Daniel Weed 3rd, were already members of the Stamford Congregational Church in December, 1746 when a complete listing was made by the incoming minister, the Rev. Noah Welles. This Daniel Weed is easily confused with his second cousin, another contemporary Daniel Weed (Daniel, John, Jonas). In fact, responsible genealogists have reached differing conclusions over the years regarding their careers. Edward Franklin Weed (Genealogical Notebook, Weed Family Genealogical Collection (GE-24), New Canaan Historical Society, 58-9), perhaps the most knowledgeable Weed researcher of all, reached the conclusion that this present Daniel Weed married Susannah Garnsey, without explaining his reasoning. This marriage was also reported by William Applebie Daniel Eardeley, a contemporary of E.F. Weed's, whose work also survives entirely in manuscript. Paul Prindle also followed this path in his outstanding essay on the Weed family for his Gillespie Ancestry, which is so useful for the earlier generations of this family. In the course of the present investigation, the conclusions of Mssrs. Weed and Eardeley were given great weight because of the depth of their previous analysis. unfortunately, their conclusion that this present Daniel Weed, son of Lt. Daniel, had married Sussannah Garnsey had to be abandoned in the light of many significant discrepancies that arose in trying to make the primary records fit this situation. For example, as alread noted, it was this Daniel Weed who was generally known as Daniel "3rd" when paired with his wife Keziah in the Stamford Congregational Church records, and also known as Daniel "3rd" in the same time period when mentioned by his father Lt. Daniel, in the land records. The Susannah Garnsey marriage must therefore instead be assigned to Daniel Weed (Daniel, John, Jonas), his second cousin..... [1]
