Type: Baptised
Info from: Judy Crabb Roberts-Oxford, Fla.
From: 'Families Remembered' by John Albert Burnett Mrs. Ada (Weeks)O'Steen was a charter member of the HIgh Bluff Baptist Church in presentBra ntley (then Wayne) County, when it was formed on June 30, 1819. Mr.O'Steen was
baptized int o the same church May 11, 1823, and on November 8, 1823 theywere dismissed by letter to joi n in organizing the Kettle Creek BaptistChurch in what was then Appling County, Georgia (Bu t which became WareCounty
in 1825). Due to the loss of the latter church's records their subsequent church membership cannot be traced.

John O'Steen, late in life made a move with his family to ColumbiaCounty, Florida. He is sh own in the 1840 census of Columbia County.John O'Steen died in Columbia County on Feb. 15 , 1841. Ada (Weeks)O'Steen after the
death of her husband moved in with her daughter, Mrs . Robinson who livedin Camden County, Georgia. Ada (Weeks) O'Steen is shown living with he rin the 1850 Camden County census. She is thought to have died between
1850-1860. John O'S teen, and Ada (Weeks) O'Steen exact places of burialare not known.
There has been some controversy for several years over Phoebe O'Steen'sbirth being before Jo hn and Ada's marriage. During the colonial periodit was very common for couples to live tog ether and even has somechildren before
their actual marriage. Such couples were recognize d as mand and wifewho later marries when a minister was around. Ealier researchers upsetov er this birth incident before marriage have concocted several storiesabout
Phoebe O'Steen . One was that she was a half sister of Ada Weeks-this isnot true. Another is that she wa s a relative living with thefamily-also not true. Illegitimacy was a sticky issue in the co lonialperiod. A
bastardy bond would have to had been posted for any illegitimate child.Ca rteret County, North Carolina records are quite extensive and no suchbond exists for Phoeb e O'Steen. She was the daughter of John O'Steenand Ada
(Weeks) O'Steen that they had prio r to their marriage.
There has been some controversy as to who are the parents of Phoebe. Sheis shown as other f amily member living in the household of TheophilusWeeks and Ann O'Steen when Theophilus appl ied for his Revolutionary Warpension.
It has been said that Phoebe O'Steen Weeks is really the daughter of JohnO'Steen and Ada Wee ks (sister to Theophilus). and that Ada died youndand Theophilus took Phoebe into his house hold to finish raising, whichwould
explain her name being Phoebe O'Steen Weeks. It could b e that she wasadopted. Nothing has been proven!!
Ada Weeks was the daughter of Slias Weeks and Zillar Hunter. Ada'sbrother Theophilus is bur ied at the Old Providence Baptist Church, LakeCity, Union County, Florida. She was baptize d jan 30, 1819 in the HighBluff
Primitive Baptist Church.

! In the 1858 Annual Report (source: SC State Archives) for the SouthCarolina Asylum, a Hug h Wier (sp) was mentioned as being "Head Attendantat the New or East Buildings." Family trad ition had him as being thegeneral superintendent of the entire asylum located on Bull Stree t inColumbia. He supposedly married Malvina's sister, Martha, after Malvina'sdeath. However , Martha is believed to have died in 1862, whereas Malvinawas said to have lived until 1892 ! Answer to the confusion is uncertain;however, Weir likely married Martha first, then Malvi na, after Martha'sdeath.

! In early part of 1860, Weir and wife, Malvina, purchased her family's160 acre farm in Fair field Co (4 miles from Ridgeway), SC, for the sumof $1000. Weir sent teams and moved AT, an d the rest of the family notgoing down to Florida, back into Columbia.
