Family of Andrew Phillips GILKEY and Azubah VEAZIE

Andrew Phillips GILKEY b. 1809 Mar 25399 at Islesboro, ME399. d. 1890 Feb 23395 at Islesboro, ME395. bd. cem. east side, upper end, Islesboro, ME395.
Azubah VEAZIE b. 1812 Nov 275443 at Islesboro, ME5443. d. 1839 Nov 145443 at Islesboro, ME5443. bd. cem. east side, upper end, Islesboro, ME395.

Married5443 1831 Mar 205443 at Islesboro, ME5443. "Mr Andrew P Gilkey with Miss Azuba Veazie Both of Islesboro" were married5443 Mar 20, 1831, by Josiah Farrow, Esq. The intention was published5443 Mar 5, 1831, "by me Elisha Parker Town Clerk."

Bangor Hist Mag2611 has birthdate 1807. That reference also has Andrew marrying second, Widow Philena, "daughter" of Jordan Veazie, an error as she was Jordan's widow. Andrew married second, Philena (Parker) Veazie, the widow of Azubah's brother Jordan.

Andrew Gilkey was a farmer and carpenter. He was appointed postmaster in Islesboro, May 4, 1844. His brother Nelson Gilkey was appointed postmaster in Islesboro, Jun 22, 1844. Whether Nelson replaced Andrew isn't clear.

Andrew P Gilkey appears in the 1871 (and in other years) Maine Business Directory under carpenters and builders in Islesborough.

Of Azubah: Farrow has born Nov 12, 1812, and died November 11, 1839; Bangor Hist Mag, Vol V, has death Nov 14, 1838. Groves5443 has birthdate Nov 27, 1812. Though Hillman800 references Groves5443 for her birthdate, he has her born "12 November 1812."

Her headstone reads: "Azubah / wife of Andrew P / Gilkey / died Nov 11, 1839 / AE 28." The image of her headstone840 does show a scratch over the death date (whether in the image or the stone isn't clear), such that the second "1" in the day of November might be read "4." Groves5443 has "Mrs Azuba Gilkey Died Nov 14th, 1839." Hillman800 (referencing Groves) has Nov 14, 1839, adding "age 27," apparently calculated from a Nov 12 birthday.

Child 2. Andrew

Andrew J Gilkey's headstone reads: "Andrew J Gilkey / son of / Andrew P & Azuba / Gilkey / drowned / July 12, 1849. / AE 16 ys 9ms 15ds." His calculated birth date from that information would be Sep 27, 1832.
