Weems was an affectionate and responsible family man who farmed with respect and love for the land and revered the God whom he declared had given him stewardship of that land. He was of the Nazarene faith and had a humble and unassuming attitude that belied the fact that he descended - by way of an all male line - from Picts and earliest Scottish nobility through the House of Dunkeld to Methill to Wemyss/Weems.
