"SETH WITHERELL WAS BORN IN LEEDS, MAINE AND LIVED THERE WITH HIS MOTHER AND FATHER UNTIL AFTER HIS FATHERS DEATH IN 1823. SOME TIME BETWEEN 1823 AND 1830 HIS MOTHER RUTH REMOVED THE FAMILY TO MILO, MAINE WHERE SETH GREW TO MANHOOD. THE REASON FOR THE MOVE IS NOT KNOWN EXACTLY, BUT SOME LOGICAL ASSUMPTIONS CAN BE MADE FROM STUDYING THE HISTORY OF THE AREA. THE TOWN OF MILO WAS INCORPERATED IN 1823 AND LAND WAS TO BE HAD FOR NO MONEY DOWN, HALF IN THREE YEARS AND THE OTHER HALF IN FIVE YEARS(HISTORY OF MILO, VOLUME 1). SINCE HIS FATHER SAMUEL WAS A CORDWAINER IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT THE FAMILY OWNED NO FARM LAND IN LEEDS. RUTH HAD SEVERAL SONS ABOUT TO ENTER MANHOOD, SO THE ACQUISITION OF LAND WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT TO THE FAMILY. WE ALSO LEARNED FROM THE HISTORY OF LEEDS MAINE THAT THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE EXODUS OF LEEDS RESIDENTS TO THE NEWLY FORMED PLANTATION OF MILO, SO THE FAMILY DID NOT MOVE ALONE. THEY ALL APPEAR IN THE 1930 CENSUS IN MILO.
SETH MARRIED FEBRUARY 10,1830 IN MILO, MAINE FRANCES OTIS DAVIS OR DAVICE (SHE WAS CALLED FANNIE IN THE RECORDS). HE WAS IN THE BANGOR, MAINE CITY DIRECTORY IN 1843, PAGE 49 AS "CARPENTER", LIVED ON COLUMBIA STREET. HE MOVED TO MASSACHUSETTS WHERE SUMNER DIED. THIS INFORMATION IS TAKEN FROM MARJORIE STUBBS HEANEYS' BOOK, "THE DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD STUBBS OF HULL, MASSACHUSETTS"PAGE 61.
THE EXACT TIME THAT SETH MOVED HIS FAMILY TO LINCOLNTON, NORTH CAROLINA IS NOT KNOWN, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT HE SPENT THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE THERE"
