'''Alice Mary Whitney''' (Robert and Mary E. (Bennett) Whitney), was born A08 1847, Kingfield, ME, and died 10 24 1895, Lincoln, ME.

He married 03 21 1866, Chesterville, ME, '''Elias Reed''', daughter of James and Amanda Reed. She was born 04 08 1844, Vermont, and died 03 18 1936, Lincoln, ME.

Elias and Alice are both buried in the West Broadway Cemetery in Lincoln, ME.

Elias' birth record in Lincoln, ME says he was born in Lincoln. The record is taken from a grave record. Therefore the place of birth in the record is suspect.

Elias' death record says he was the son of Samuel Reed, and was born in Vermont. However, Samuel is his brother, and James and Amanda Reed are his parents via the 1850 Census of Kingfield, ME.

Census Data:

1850 Census: Kingfield, ME; Elias, a child b. in VT lives in the family of James Reed, b. abt 1806 in ME & Amanda Reed, b. abt 1817 in VT; older brother Samuel b. in VT abt 1840, older brother Ephraim b. in NY abt 1842.

1860 Census: Farmington, ME; Elias lives in the family of James and Amanda Reed; all are born in ME except Amanda, b. in VT

1870 Census: Lincoln, ME; June 28, Alice, Elias & 1 year old Lydia live with Alice's parents & her siblings. Says Elias was b. in ME

1880 Census: Lincoln, ME; says Elias was born in ME.

1900 Census: Lincoln, ME; says he was b. Apr 1845 in VT; Elias is a widower living with his 3 youngest children.

1910 Census: Lincoln, ME; says Elias was b. in VT

1930 Census: Lincoln, ME, where Elias boards with his daughter Myrtle Doble; says he was b. in VT

It appears there is a mystery concerning how to interpret the 1870 census. It seems quite probable that Elias was enumerated twice. 1870 Census: Farmington, ME: enumerated June 7 & 8; Elias Reed, b. VT, resides with what appears to be 2 of his brothers, one born in VT, the other in ME. They reside with Jonathan and Amanda Gardiner. James must have died & Amanda has remarried. Is this the same Elias who is enumerated in Lincoln? the births of Elias and Alice's children have not yet been found recorded in Lincoln, ME. The attribution of their places of birth and death are taken from the marriage and death records. Elias' daughter Mary's marriage record says Elias was born in Farmington, ME. However, her death record says he was b. in VT. The marriage record of Flossie also says Elias was b. in Farmington.

The marriage of Marion C. (Reed) Wyman, b. abt 1876, to Harry Berry in Boston, MA , 9 Dec 1907, says that Marion resides in Kingfield, ME and is the daughter of Elias Reed and Olive Wyman. This would mean that Marion's mother's maiden name was Wyman, and Marion married a Wyman. That is possible, but it seems that an error was made in the record about her mother's name. Why is Marion not mentioned in any other of Elias' family records, unless she is Clyda Reed?
