• Notes

  > Judy, > I am looking for more information on John Robert's wife, Phoebe O'Ste > born 1785, North Carolina and her parents. > Thanks, Debbie Phoebe was born 22 February 1785, in Carteret County, North Carolina from "Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia". She is a daughter of Ada Weeks, apparently born before Ada, daughter of Silas Weeks and Zilar Hunter, was married. Ada married John Osteen about 1787. Phoebe was possibly raised by Ada's brother Theophil Weeks and his wife Ann Osteen, sister of John Osteen. (Phoebe is listed as illegitimate child of John Osteen and Ada Weeks in "Families Remembered The Burnett, Prevatt, Walker, Stonecypher and Other Allied Lines of Northea Florida and Georgia", by John Albert Burnett page 122. This has credence as no bastardy bond was posted, there was a close relationship between the Week and the Osteen families and that John Osteen and Ada Weeks later married.) Phoebe and John were probably married about 1798 in probably Macintosh County, Georgia. Phoebe is buried in Swift Creek Church Cemetery, near Lake Butler, Union County, Florida. Her headstone is marked "Phoebe O'Steen Weeks". (Swift Creek Cemetery is at Zion Baptist Church.) In ancient records, the name is generally found as Osteen, not O'Steen.
