[44283] https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/james-william-kable_211703912 (not verified) states James m. Mary Myers and had David M. Kable (b. 1865 in Knox Co., IN, d. 9 Feb 1934, m. Iva Trimmell and had three daughters). Find A Grave memorial 54168434 offers James' obituary: "J.W. Kable, who lives near Lay post office, in Sycamore township, was drowned yesterday morning while attempting to cross a slough near his home. In company with his son and a cousin he was looking after his stock, and himself and son swam in the slough on horse back but the cousin was afraid to follow them, as he could not swim. They then concluded to return, but Mr. Kable's horse for some reason, did not swim well on the return trip and in someway he was drowned. The slough we understand was filled with back water from Elk River. The body had not been recovered at last accounts. Mr. Kable was formerly in partnership in the livery business here with A.S. Janies, who was drowned some three years ago near Liberty lake. . . . The remains of Mr. J.W. Kable, of Sycamore township, whose death by drowning we mentioned yesterday, were recovered in about two an one-half hours after the accident took place. It was the intention to bury him today, but it was found that the body could not be kept so long, and it was buried in the cemetery here at about six o'clock last evening. Mr. Kable was a deacon in the Congregational church, organized some time since near Lay post office, and the funeral exercises were conducted by Rev. H. Vrooman."

He had been ailing for some time, but performed a hard day's work yesterday. J.J. Briner and wife, close neighbors, called on him in the evening to spend an hour socially. Mr. R. complained of the room in which they were sitting as being too close and warm, and arose to open en outside door. Upon reaching forward to grasp the catch on the door he fell forward heavily and expired almost instantly. He leaves a wife and two children."

[3576] http://www.bartold.com/genealogy/origins.html offers in 2003: "The first Bertold in Swabia (from Friuli) appears to have arrived in Swabia around 860, married, and had at least three children. Erchanger, Bertold and their sister Kunegunda. Kunegunda's father is mentioned as either Bertold or Erchanger, and her mother was supposedly Gisela, daugter of Emperor Louis II. Note: I have seen it listed that Kunegunda's parents were Gisela and Erchanger, but the father's name is unlikely. The only other occurance of Erchanger that I have seen (in any genealogy) is Gisela's grandfather on her mother's side. Since Kunegunda's brothers are named Erchanger and Bertold, it makes more sense that her father was named Bertold. Although the Bertold name has not yet vanished from Swabian history, it moves quickly to Bavaria. Kunegunda married Luitpold of Bavaria sometime before 890, since their son Arnulf becomes Duke in 907, when Luitpold is killed in battle. Luitpold was Count of Nordgau, Duke of Carinthia and Duke of Bavaria (from 889), although he dies in battle against the Magyars. Arnulf must be at least 12 to take over, although it's more likely he was even older, so he was clear born before 895. Luitpold and Kunegunda's second son is named Bertold, again supporting the notion that her father was named Bertold. They do not have a son named Erchanger. Although, it is quite possible that Luitpold and Kunegunda had more children, that are not mentioned. In the chronicles of Reisensburg, it says that it is very likely that Kunegunda brought the Reisenburg with her to Bavaria as a wedding present. Now the Reisensburg was even then an ancient castle, likely the first in Germany. If Kunegunda brought it as a present, her parents must have been wealthy. The Reisensburg is located somewhat closer to Regensburg than it is to the Hohentwiel. After Luitpold died, Kunegunda then married in 913 to Conrad, King of the Germans (from 911-918). They had at least one chld, so it is likely that Kunegunda was not much more than 40 then, born after 870, rather than before. Supposing she was born in 873, Bertold (III) was 31 years old when she was born, and she was 40 When she married King Conrad. If Arnulf was born in 890, she was 17 when he was born, and he was 17 when he took over as Duke. Another point supporting Kunegunda's noble lineage: If Kunegunda was able to marry the Duke of Bavaria, and later the King of Germany, who both should have been very concerened with bloodlines, she must have been the daughter of someone more important than a local Swabian Count Bertold. So in my estimation, her mom must have been a royal, and it seems to point to Gisela." However, Gisela's husband was apparently Eberhard who appears to have died before this daughter was born! - so this speculation is doubtful - AEM. www.bartold.com also states that "After Luitpold's death, Cunegunda married Conrad I King of Germany."

I have not verified the ancestry given here! It is provided by Joe S. Creager (6320 NE 157th St.. Bothel, WA 98011 12/7/95, based on Ernest Weeks' research housed at the New York State Library per JSC). What is known is that Leonard resided in the Greenland and Sandy Beach area of NH, arriving in 1655 from Compton Martin, Somersetshire, England. He was selectman of Portsmouth, then constable and sheriff. In addition to Mary, he and Mary had: John, Samuel, Joseph, Capt. Joshua (b. 1674, m. Comfort Hubbard), Jonathan, Margaret and Sarah. The NH Genealogical Digest gives his year of birth as 1635. 05-July-1660 he received grants of 44, 34 and 10 acres of land and in February, 1661 he was settled at Winnicut Rover, Greenland where he lived out his life. {Note: "History of Coos County [NH]", p. 378, states he was born in Wells, Somersetshire.} His brick house in Greenland is the oldest native brick home in New England and is on the National Register of Historic Places; it was built about 1710 in such a way as to resist Indian attacks, and is on Rt. 101 and open to the public - see http://www.weeksbrickhouse.org. A disposition dated 06-Oct-1705 gives Leonard's age as 73 years, in which case his birth year would be 1632 or 1633. He was baptised 07-Aug-1639 in Compton Martin, Moreton, Somersetshire. [cf. NEHGR 39:234-5] See "Leonard Weeks of Greenland, NH and Descendants, 1639-1888...," by Jacob Chapman (Albany, NY: J. Munsell's Sons, 1889). Also see notes for immigrant Nicholas Weeks.

Randy Weeks (fifi@pop.ma.ultranet.com) shared via email 29 Oct 1998:
"The information which I posted on reply 133 (in the Weeks Forum online) was taken from the first book written by Robert D. Weeks and published in 1885, called Genealogy of the family of George Weekes of Dorchester, Mass. 1635 to 1650. Copies of this book are available through the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, Mass. I had also told you that the Rev. Jacob Chapman had published a book on the families of Leonard Weeks of New Hampshire, and that this book is also available from NEHGS. As for Carol Anderson being a Weeks family historian ??? I have written to her several times on a discrepency of William and John Weeks of Falmouth, Mass. and know for sure that her facts are not correct, and I would like to get them straightened out, but as of this date, she has not had the decency to answer my letters. Jim McLoughlin who is the webmaster of "The Weeks Family Registry answered my letter (for Carol ???) advised that when they first established the Weeks Registry there was a mildly heated debate about some heritage, and many people had different opinions. I have a problem with my Slocum line also. It seems everybody takes the step that an unknown wife or husband are given names because they were close friends, before marriage... but they do not have definite proof. I think you have also contacted Rev. Frank H. Weeks, who lives in Rhode Island. I believe he is of the Leonard line and supposedly is working on an update of the Chapman Book. It will be a complete update treating male and female children equally. His site, if you want to visit is www.geocities.com/heartland/bluffs/5923. When I have more time, I'm going to go through your full letter and check it with my books to see what I might have to offer, or add. Robert Weeks did not do an in-depth history of Leonard... he just sort of rattled off names. Most probably he got his info from Rev. Chapman ?? One other piece of info I can offer, is that Robert Weeks did much research here in the U.S. and the U.K. The latter, much of the files were either destroyed by fire or weather, the records being kept in a tower in England."
An internet posting in Ancestor Chronicles - Our Kin And Their Times 8 August 2006 states "The name Weeks is said to have been a Devonshire name of Saxon origin; but it was also common in parts of Somersetshire. Tradition says that Leonard came from Wells, in that county. The parish records of Compton Martin contain the name of Leonard Wyke, bapt. 1639, and his brother William about two years earlier, sons of John Wyke of Moreton, which is in that parish."
The Weeks Library web site - http://www.weekslibrary.org/history.html - offers: "The first recorded trial involving a crime committed in Greenland took place in June 1660, at 'a Countie Court held in Portsmouth.' In it, Leonard Weeks was charged with 'Swareing by god & Callinge John Hall of Greenland ould dogg & ould Slave & [saying] that he would knocke him in the head: this is testifi[e]d by Thomas Peverley & Joseph Attkinson.' Leonard pled guilty and was sentenced to pay ten shillings, '& to have an admonition for his reviling & threttning speeches.' Weeks was tried before a jury that included his neighbor (and future father-in-law) Samuel Haines."
