DERIVATION OF THE FAMILY THE PATRONYMIC
Surnames to distinguish families and their tribes were not generally
adopted in England till after the Norman Conquest.
In the earlier history of the language, little study and less attention were
given to orthography. The first English dictionary (by Dr. Samuel Johnson)
was only published in 1755, and it was not till the beginning of the present
century that uniformity in the spelling of words and names was manifest. Our
earlier fathers in America frequently spelled their names with variations, as
may be observed in examining their signatures to legal documents.
The names Wye, Wyke, Wikes, Weeks, Weekes, Wix, Wick, Wicks,
represent families in English history as far back as the Conquest. One of the
greatest habitats of the name was, and still is, in the neighborhood of Hast-
ings, County of Sussex, England. The precise locality from which it is derived
is unknown. The syllable Wick is found in the names of many places, as
Marwick, Padwick, Wickham, Wickfield, etc. It is the Anglo Saxon zcuc or
wye and is of wide signification, implying dwelling-place, mansion, borough,
village, street (Lat. vicus, with which it is doubtless connected), monastery,
castle, camp, or military station. In local nomenclature it generally implies a
habitation or village. Several parishes in England and Scotland are designated
by this word without any qualifying addition. Gualterus Diaconus, the ances-
tor of the family DeHastings, lords of the barony of Hastings, held a knight's
fee in Wikes at the making of Doomsday. (Lower on Patronymics.)
Prior to the Norman Conquest the "ancient and noble family of Wakes"
is named in English history. This family, Lower says, claim from Hugh Wac
Lord of Wilesford, County of Lincoln, (of the time of Henry I,) whose line
ended with Lord Wake. Other authorities claim their origin from Hereford
Le Wake, who 'flourished under Edward I, 1041. Archbishop Wake disowns
the Norman derivation, and considers the name Le Wake, or the Watchful,
a title given to Hereford as characteristic of a skillful military commander.
The name Wake appears in some copies of the so-called Battel Abbey
Roll. Of this Roll, Lower remarks, "a full investigation convinces me that
the Roll of Battel Abbey is a nonentity; but like many other mythic things we
may safely say that it ought to have existed." Various lists purporting to be
the roll, are extant and of considerable antiquity, but all later than 1066. The
surname Wickes, and its variations, is not found on any of them. It is there-
fore left in doubt whether the family is of Saxon or Norman origin.
The New England Geneaological and Historical Register, Boston, 1S51,
noticing George Weekes, Freeman, 1640, etc., says, "The name of Weeks or
Weekes is said by good authority (Mr. Lysons) to have been originally Wray,
but took the form of Wyke, on the settling of the family at North Wyke,
County of Devon, in Rich. 2, 1377-95. Francis Weeks, the last male heir of
that branch in England, died in 1611."

PERPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE
The “Perponderance of evidence” is the greater weight of evidence required in lawsuits of fact to form a decision. A standard of proof that must be met by a person to prevail in court. Beyond a Reasonable and burden of proof to shift the conclusion away to form “a probable solution.” DNA results are helping substantiate relationship as never before. Circumstantial evidence tends to prove a fact by proving other events or circumstances which afford a basis for reasonable INFERENCE of the occurrence of fact. Given in genealogical research are 1) variances of spelling in names, such as sound the same, translate to, or same as other members of the family. 2) Place is the same, nearby or enroute between. 3) Dates fit normal sequence of events, and 4) others have concluded the same result.
