Wife of Joel Weed, maiden name possibly Eells
Joel's son wrote the following:
Phineas (Philo) Phineas WEED, lived in Ballston, Saratoga County,NY
Albany, March 29, 1865
To the Editor of the Recorder and Democrat:
In your Recorder of the 24th inst., (which I received this morning) a writer who recalls and describes some of the early inhabitants of your Village, "remembers, as among the earliest Draymen of Catskill, the two JOE WEEDS, (Joel and Joseph) one of whom, I do not know which, was the progenitor of THURLOW WEED. [It was Joel Weed]. Though in humble life, both were esteemed, I believe, as honest, industrious men."
Though a matter of no possible interest to any one but myself, allow me to say that JOEL WEED, the younger brother, was my father. They were "honest, industrious" cartmen, my uncle JOSEPH being the more prosperous. Indeed, he owned a house still standing, about half-way between "CHANDLER'S" and the Bridge; while we "moved" annually, at least renting apartments in the "Stone Jug," "Number Eight," (I can't remember why No. 8) GULLEN'S Barber Shop, &c., **88 My uncle JOSEPH had one son, GEORGE L. WEED, a very worthy man, and well known Christian Missionary.**** I had two brothers; one (Orrin) died in New York in 1818, and the other (Osborn) in Tennessee in 1851. **My father died in Onondaga*** forty-six years ago; my mother in Tennessee, in 1846. Inscription
Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Mary Weed died May 13th, 1841 aged 70 years.

I have endeavored to link Joseph and Joel to their father. I believe this is the birth father of Joel and Joseph.
