  3. It is assumed that the George baptized in 1664 is a younger brother, and that this George died before then. An alternative is that this child was renamed to William sometime after his baptism. Savage lists a William born the same date as this child, and it was not unheard of for a child's name to be changed. However, it would seem more likely that this child died and there was no son William in this family (and that there was an error in Savage).
  4. He might be the George Weekes who died in Dorchester 27 Oct 1659 (Dorchester VR 1:25), but this VR seems to refer to an adult, since if it refered to a child, a parent of the child would likely be mentioned. This VR may have refered to his grandfather George Weekes.
