Family of David P WITHEE and Ariana GILKEY

David P WITHEE b. 1824 Aug 18²⁴⁸⁹ at Madison, ME²⁴⁸⁹. d. 1907 Dec 12²⁴⁸⁹ at Portland, ME²⁴⁸⁹. bd. Riverside Cem., Lewiston, ME⁸⁴⁰.
Ariana GILKEY b. 1830 Jun 9⁵⁴⁴³ at Islesboro, ME⁵⁴⁴³. d. 1904 Mar 4²⁴⁸⁹ at Lewiston, ME²⁴⁸⁹. bd. Riverside Cem., Lewiston, ME⁸⁴⁰.

Married³⁹⁹ 1848 Oct 28³⁹⁹ at Islesboro, ME³⁹⁹.

David Withee was a farmer, a real estate agent, and a restaurant keeper.

In 1860, Rachel Withee, age 60?, born Maine, resided³⁴³ with David Withee and his family. That may be David's mother, as David's death record²⁴⁸⁹ lists his parents as Thompson and Rachel Withee.

David P Withee died at the age of 83y 3m 24d, of a fracture of the skull, being thrown from a wagon.

Grove⁵⁴⁴³ and Farrow³⁹⁹ both have a birth date of Jun 9, 1839, for "Aariann" (Grove) / Ariana (Farrow) Gilkey (same source?).

Farrow³⁹⁸ lists two marriage dates for Azubah and Andrew - Mar 20, 1831 and Mar 20, 1835. Grove{\5443} has 1830. The June 9, 1830 birth date appears to be inconsistent with both marriage dates. A female 5 to 10 years of age (no other females) is indicated in Andrew's household in 1840 which is likely Ariana.

Her ages (and approx birth year) as listed in the census records is: 1860 - 28 (~1832); 1870 - 36 (~1834); 1880 - 48 (~1832); and 1900 - Jun 1835. As calculated from her death record²⁴⁹⁸ (see below) - abt Jun 8, 1837.

Aureann M Withee, wife of David P Withee, died²⁴⁹⁸ Mar 4, 1907, at the age of 69y 8m 24d, of heart disease, for a calculated birthdate of abt 8 Jun 1837.
