General Notes: Husband - David Witherup

---

He was apprenticed to the weaver's trade, and was employed in the David Phipps woolen factory until it was destroyed by fire, after which he returned home and helped his father when not otherwise engaged. When his father moved to Scrubgrass in 1846 he left David in charge of the Rockland farm, and he followed agriculture the rest of his life. He occupied his father's old log cabin until the fall of 1856, when he moved into a new house, remaining there until his death. [CAB, 1067]

He died of typoid fever.
