David Weed was born 28 Jun 1722, probably in Amesbury, son of Jonathan and Patience (Martin) Weed; he died in Unity 15 Oct 1801. He married in Kingston NH on 29 Nov 1743, Abigail Judkins, born Kingston 14 Jul 1725, daughter of Samuel and Abigail (Harrison) Judkins; she died at Unity, on 3 Feb 1804. David Weed of Kingston purchased land in Unity from his son Elijah, of Kingston, on 21 Nov 1772. He and Abigail and his sons and their families may have come soon after that; they were all living in Unity by 1776 when David and his three oldest sons signed the Association Test there, and David, Sr., David Jr. and Elijah all served in the Rev. War. He was the first Town Clerk in Unity, serving in 1773 and 1774, and was a Selectman in Unity in 1778. Probates on some of the family members are available. Their son Jonathan Weed handled two relatives' estates at one time in 1804 - for his mother Abigail and for his brother William. His living brother Elijah, who was older was unable because of "indisposition of body". The children of David Weed all had births recorded in Kingston. Children of David Weed and Abigail (Judkins): 1 Elijah born 30 Jul 1744 2 Samuel born 24 Jul 1746 3 David born 24 Jun 1748 4 Abigail born 23 Sep 1750 5 Jonathan born 18 May 1753 6 Benjamin born 3 Nov 1756 7 Joseph born 23 Mar 1760 8 Anna born 15 Aug 1762 9 William born 14 Apr 1765
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
