Weeks family.

The Weeks family of New Iberia, La., owned land on Grand Côte Island (later named Weeks Island) obtained by David Weeks (1786-1834) as a grant from the Spanish government. The plantation home named Shadows-on-the-Teche was completed there in 1834. Families allied with the Weeks family included the Thruston, Glassell, Palfrey, Gorham, Magill, Conrad, Hall, Collins, and Swayze families. William Glassell Weeks (1864-1958) was a Louisiana pecan grower. His daughter, Lilly Weeks, married physician Lee McLean and moved to the New Orleans area. Shadows-on-the-Teche Plantation was owned in the twentieth century by artist William Weeks Hall (1894-1958).
