Notes:

Amos settled in the Bayham area at Lot 6, conc 114. He was termed
a 'freeholder' meaning had property versus a householder who would only be living in that area perhaps leasing etc.
Amos bought from his brother Daniel Miller ( who inherited his fathers land upon his death) on 29 May 1828 SW of S1/2 totaling 59 acres . On this document of sale, Amos Junior 's occupation is noted as labourer.

Amos Weeks also bought an additional 6 acres from Pellum Mabee on 14 July 1842.
Then on 15 July 1842, Amos and his wife resold their 65 acres to Peter Snyder.
Document # 3429 of Land Agreements. Amos sold his property to Peter Snyder for the sum ¹175. On this Memorial Land Agreement, Amos and Mary Jane Weeks were residing in the" Twp of Dorchester, Southern Division, Middlesex Cty, district of London, Province of Canada" * I thought this was strange to note Canada as a province. In this document, Mary Jane Weeks also renounces her dowry rights for the sum of 5 schillings.
