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.

Amos did move at one point to Michigan (Family rumour- not proven)
He is recorded on the 1871 census for Elgin Cty however, Subdistrict E,DivPg #3 and Page #13. Notes from the Census:

Weeks, Mary Jane, female, age 52, birthplace Ontario, religion close crown Baptist, origin Scotch
Weeks, Cyrus, male, age 20, birthplace Ontario, religion W. Methodist, German origin, Farmer
They had a total of 89+110+50 acres of land owned, Crops were fall wheat, barley, oats, rye, corn, potatoes, hay and apples. Livestock consisted of horses, milch cows, horned cows, sheep, swine, 4 bee hives, 1020 pounds of butter, 125 pounds of honey, 70 pounds of wood. The lots numbers were 116 and 117 North Talbot Road (NTR), Concession 7.

Thus during this 40 year span, which has 10 year gaps - Amos could have gone to USA for a year or two, but it seems he regularly was recorded on our Canadian censuses every 10 years.
