THOMAS WELD was born in Terling, Essex, baptized there July 26, 1627, and died January 17, 1681/82 in Roxbury, Mass. He married DOROTHY WHITING June 4, 1650, daughter of the REV. SAMUEL WHITING. She was born about 1628 in England, and died July 31, 1694 in Roxbury, Mass.
Thomas inherited his father's land holdings in Roxbury as well as 'remote' land elsewhere, and expanded his holdings by purchase. Over his lifetime he held most of the principal town offices. That he was a soldier in King Philip's War is evidenced by the claim by his son Edmund to land now in Bedford, N.H. that was part of a tract parceled out to veterans of that war as pay for their services. He died a wealthy man, leaving land to his sons and daughters and a rich annuity to his widow. Thomas and Dorothy Weld are buried in the Roxbury First Church burying ground. DOROTHY WHITING came to New England with her father, arriving May 26, 1636. He was appointed minister of the church at Lynn. Dorothy's mother and siblings had died in England before Samuel and Dorothy emigrated.

THOMAS WELD was born in Terling, Essex, baptized there July 26, 1627, and died January 17, 1681/82 in Roxbury, Mass. He married DOROTHY WHITING June 4, 1650, daughter of the REV. SAMUEL WHITING. She was born about 1628 in England, and died July 31, 1694 in Roxbury, Mass.
Thomas inherited his father's land holdings in Roxbury as well as 'remote' land elsewhere, and expanded his holdings by purchase. Over his lifetime he held most of the principal town offices. That he was a soldier in King Philip's War is evidenced by the claim by his son Edmund to land now in Bedford, N.H. that was part of a tract parceled out to veterans of that war as pay for their services. He died a wealthy man, leaving land to his sons and daughters and a rich annuity to his widow. Thomas and Dorothy Weld are buried in the Roxbury First Church burying ground. DOROTHY WHITING came to New England with her father, arriving May 26, 1636. He was appointed minister of the church at Lynn. Dorothy's mother and siblings had died in England before Samuel and Dorothy emigrated.

Descendants genealogy note
Note that Thomas Aspinwall Brewer is a direct descendant of Nathaniel Brewer II and Margaret Weld, and also a direct descendant of Reverend Joseph Whiting and Sarah Danforth (Joseph Whiting was the son of Reverend Samuel Whiting and his second wife Elizabeth St John). Mary Foster Brewer Brewer (Mrs. Thomas Aspinwall Brewer) is a direct decendant of Captain Joseph Weld, brother of Reverend Thomas Weld. She is also a direct descendant of Nathaniel Brewer II and Margaret Weld, and of Reverend Samuel Whiting and his unknown first wife.
Siblings of Margaret Weld Brewer
• John Weld (October 9, 1657–July 25, 1686)
• Thomas Weld (Harvard College Class of 1671), an ancestor of abolishionist Theodore Dwight Weld. Theodore Dwight Weld was also a direct descendant of Edmund and Elizabeth White Weld - see below.
• Samuel Weld married Susanna Polley (daughter of John and Susanna Bacon Polly). Susanna Stevens Sumner was their granddaughter.
• Edmund Weld married Elizabeth White (daughter of Elizabeth Bowles and John White, and niece of Mary Bowles Gardner). Elizabeth White Weld was the niece of Mary Bowles Gardner and first cousin of Captain Caleb Gardner who married Abial Phipps — parents of Johanna Gardner Aspinwall.) Edmund Weld and his wife Elizabeth White are direct ancestors of Erastus Corning II. Another descendant of Edmund Weld and Elizabeth White was the abolishionist Reverend Theodore Dwight Weld, who married Angelina Emily Grimké of Charleston, South Carolina. Reverend Theodore Dwight Weld's wife was the daughter of Judge John Faucheraud Grimké and Mary Smith Grimké. In Charleston, the family lived at 321 Bay Street. This history places the Weld Family both in the heart of Charleston's planter class and positioned as social reformers during the fascinating and tumultuous 19th century years in America culminating with the Civil War, and also involved through many years of social changes thereafter.

THOMAS WELD was born in Terling, Essex, baptized there July 26, 1627, and died January 17, 1681/82 in Roxbury, Mass. He married DOROTHY WHITING June 4, 1650, daughter of the REV. SAMUEL WHITING. She was born about 1628 in England, and died July 31, 1694 in Roxbury, Mass.
Thomas inherited his father's land holdings in Roxbury as well as 'remote' land elsewhere, and expanded his holdings by purchase. Over his lifetime he held most of the principal town offices. That he was a soldier in King Philip's War is evidenced by the claim by his son Edmund to land now in Bedford, N.H. that was part of a tract parceled out to veterans of that war as pay for their services. He died a wealthy man, leaving land to his sons and daughters and a rich annuity to his widow. Thomas and Dorothy Weld are buried in the Roxbury First Church burying ground. DOROTHY WHITING came to New England with her father, arriving May 26, 1636. He was appointed minister of the church at Lynn. Dorothy's mother and siblings had died in England before Samuel and Dorothy emigrated.

Note that Thomas Aspinwall Brewer is a direct descendant of Nathaniel Brewer II and Margaret Weld, and also a direct descendant of Reverend Joseph Whiting and Sarah Danforth (Joseph Whiting was the son of Reverend Samuel Whiting and his second wife Elizabeth St John). Mary Foster Brewer Brewer (Mrs. Thomas Aspinwall Brewer) is a direct decendant of Captain Joseph Weld, brother of Reverend Thomas Weld. She is also a direct descendant of Nathaniel Brewer II and Margaret Weld, and of Reverend Samuel Whiting and his unknown first wife.
Siblings of Margaret Weld Brewer
• John Weld (October 9, 1657–July 25, 1686)
• Thomas Weld (Harvard College Class of 1671), an ancestor of abolishionist Theodore Dwight Weld. Theodore Dwight Weld was also a direct descendant of Edmund and Elizabeth White Weld - see below.

Edmund Weld and his wife Elizabeth White are direct ancestors of Erastus Corning II. Another descendant of Edmund Weld and Elizabeth White was the abolishionist Reverend Theodore Dwight Weld, who married Angelina Emily Grimké of Charleston, South Carolina. Reverend Theodore Dwight Weld's wife was the daughter of Judge John Faucheraud Grimké and Mary Smith Grimké. In Charleston, the family lived at 321 Bay Street. This history places the Weld Family both in the heart of Charleston's planter class and positioned as social reformers during the fascinating and tumultuous 19th century years in America culminating with the Civil War, and also involved through many years of social changes thereafter.
