    Notes 
    • In the 1870 and 1880 censuses, John Franklin "Frank" Weekley was enumerated under the surname Wright, his mother's name, despite going by Weekly in his marriage record.

      1870 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union Twp), enumerated on Jun 20 1870:
      Nancy Wright, 48; Franklin Wright, 12; Lidia A. Whitehair, 3; Elizabeth Weekly, 45; Samantha Weekly, 24; Reson Weekly, 14; Noah Foster, 12; Israel Foster, 10; Ruth Weekly, 9; Hariet Weekly, 7.
      (NOTE: Elizabeth Weekley was the widow of Israel Weekley and the mother of Samantha and Reason Weekley. Although the entries for Noah and Israel clearly indicate the surname Foster, it is highly likely that the intended name was Forester, as their mother Lettice (Letty) had married James Forester in 1862. She, however, died soon thereafter and James remarried in 1867, leaving the boys to be raised by their maternal grandmother. They apparently readopted the Weekley surnmame sometime prior to the 1880 Census.)

      On Apr 27 1880, in Doddridge County, Frank Weekly, son of Nancy Weekly, married Susan Faupel, dau of Catharine Faupel.

      1880 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District), enumerated on Jun 14 1880:
      Frank Wright, 24, farmer, cannot read or write; wife Susan Wright, 19; mother Nancy Wright, 60, widowed; ward Lilian Whitehair, 14.
