Biography

Probably referred to in a letter from Susan Weightman to Frances Seward, 1854 (undated), discussing leaving one of her daughters with Frances a little longer, "My little boy has been extremely ill, and many many children are sick – so that unless she is troublesome to you or very homesick, I will postpone my recall a few days." There were apparently 2 sons named Richard, the older being Richard Coxe Weightman. This Richard died in 1854, so he is presumably the very ill child mentioned in the letter.
