   [-54-]

        THADDEUS WEED, son of ANANIAS WEED, was born in Stamford,
     Connecticut, in 1791. He was for some time a resident of Troy, N. Y.
     He came to Buffalo September 23, 1818, where he and GEORGE T. WEED
     opened a hardware store under the firm style of G. & T. WEED. The
     business prospered, becoming one of the leading mercantile houses of
     Buffalo.  THADDEUS WEED married LOUISE MARIE CHAPIN, daughter of DR.
     CYRENIUS CHAPIN. Their children were three sons, DE WITT CHAPIN,
     GEORGE THADDEUS and HOBART WEED, and a daughter, Mrs. SYLVIA LOUISE
     STEVENS.  LOUISE MARIE (CHAPIN) WEED survived her husband by many
     years, dying on the 20th of July, 1894, being then in her ninety-
     second year.
        After an honorable and successful career THADDEUS WEED died in
     1846. No Buffalonian of his day was held in higher estimation.
     Eminently public-spirited, he was one of the founders of Buffalo's
     first regular fire company. He was also a vestryman of St. Paul's
     Episcopal Church, of which he was one of the most active supporters. A
     man of sterling ability and probity, he left a deep impress on the
     life and institutions of the city.
