(James Henry Weeks & Mattie Byrn Harrell Weeks) |
|
Mattie Byrn Harrell married James Henry Weeks on 02 Jun 1898 in
Wayne County, North Carolina. This was her first marriage
- but his third (having outlived his first two wives). |
|
James Henry Weeks was the son of James Kenion Weeks and Mary
Vann and was born 23 May 1851 in Sampson County, NC. James
Henry was almost 30 years older than Mattie Byrn. |
|
|
|
Sheet 7 of the 1900 North Carolina Census finds James Henry and
his new wife, Mattie Byrn Harrell, living in the Piney Grove
Township of Sampson County. James Henry's age is listed as
49 and
Mattie's age was 18. There were 5 children living in the
home: Mamie (age 20), Bascom (age 17), Emma (age 15) Estella
(age 10) and new-born son Arthur James (age 12 months) who is
listed as "B" in the marriage column - more than likely
indicating he was a "Baby". Arthur was born 06 May 1899 in
Goshen, Sampson County, NC. Arthur James Weeks (born 06
May 1899) was the first child born to Mattie Byrn Harrell and
James Henry Weeks. |
