Source: Cynthia's age at death (86 to 88) was an estimate made by those who left records of her. The research worker (Lucinda P. Reid Harting) who obtained these data submitted this family for ordinance work during the period of 1924 to 1931. This all comes from the Archive Record, LDS Church.

Source: LDS Archive Record. This record has Aphia being married in 1882 and married in 1883. Her total age was 80 years and it is unlikely that she married at age 79. So I, (G.Thomas) chose a round number of age 25 for Aphia to be married, making the date md., abt 1828. Could be off 5 or ten years. Later research showed that Aphia married again to a Timothy Hall (Fernald, 1904) so this last marriage could have taken place in her old age (79) and the Archive Record might be right?

Source#1 Micajah was a " '49er" according to Lula A. Christian's memoirs. A "49er" was an individual who took part in the great Californian Gold rush in 1849. Source#2 The Geneological Society has Micajah being born in North Port, Waldo Co., Maine. Their Source is "Brian Pendleton and His Descendents" pp 347-8; and the "Drinkwater Family" by John S. Fernolds. Family records that have come to me from Lula Christian have Micajah born in Aroostook county (town unknown) Maine. Lucinda P. Reid Harting (a submitter of this family group sheet) records that Micajah was married to a second wife- Margaret Orcutt. Source#3 Temple Records (index card) show that Micajah was baptized and endowed at the instance of John C. Phillips (d) of unknown relationship. See Temple records of Logan Temple, Book U-2, page 157. Also on this index card they have Micajah born at New Milford, Litchfield, Conn. which does not match with family records which state he was born in Aroostook county Maine. Birthdate and death date are same from the two sources although only one of his two serial wives is listed, namely Margarat Orcutt. My (Glenn H. Thomas) linage comes througth his other wife, Mary Leason or Leson. Spouse #1= Mary Leson or Leason. Spouse #2 is Margaret Orcutt. Marriage: The civil marriage of Mary Leason and Micajah Drinkwater was done on 4 Jul 1835 at Bangor, Pencot.,Maine. From TIB record.
