Tombstone states'Nancy wife of Isaac Weeks 1840-1925
The name Mary is the English form of the Hebrew name 'Mirian' meaning 'desired' or 'longed for'. The most popular and enduring of the female names throughout Europe. It was a popular name at the time of Christ; there was Mary Magdala, Mary - the mother of James etc. Its popularity in later centuries was due to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. It was a common Christian name at first, witness several early Christian saints; then for several hundred years the name of the Mother of God was considered too holy to be used. It was not until the 12th century that it gradually came to be used throughout Europe and grew in popularity. Many other female names are derived from 'Mary'
Nancy - Its origins are uncertain but it first emerged as a familiar form of 'Ann'; then in the USA became an independent name.
