General Notes: Husband - Capt. Joseph Weld

---

He was captain of the training band, and an original member of the An-cient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, Massachusetts. He acquired the tract long known as the Weld farm in Roxbury, and gained much wealth as a merchant. His estate at his death was inventoried at £10,000 sterling, and was considered as possibly the largest in the colony. He founded the Roxbury Latin School, so that like his brother he evidently was a man of learning. Harvard University named one of its buildings Weld Hall, and an addition to its library was called the Weld Collection. In his will, which has been published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, he bequeathed "his best tawny cloke" to his friend, the Rev. John Eliot.
