Individual Details
George Weeks
(23 Feb 1595 - 28 Dec 1650)
Several web sources indicate He arrived on the same ship as Rev. Richard Mather in 1635. However, he was still in England in 1636 and not admitted to the church in Massachusetts until 1639. Also, he is not covered in any volume of the Great Migration series which covers all immigrants through 1635. He was Admitted as freeman at Dorchester, May 13, 1640.
