- Name: Obediah Starkey
- Birth: 14-MAY-1797 in: New Brunswick, Canada
- Death: 18-SEP-1881 in: Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada
- Father: Mordecai Starkey
- Mother: Mary Ballentine (Akerley\Ackerly) Ackerley
Notes: Unsure of this 2nd marriage of Obediah's. There is, in Hale's "Queen County Marriages" book, a listing for Obediah marrying an Elizabeth Ann Guiou, but later (28-Mar-1858) than what has been listed in other genealogies. Was this Obediah Jr? Wa s Elizabeth Ann same as Sarah Elizabeth? Was she, perhaps, a THIRD wife of Obediah Sr.???
WIGGINS - Obadiah met with a serious accident in 1856, losing his right arm in a trashing machine."

Notes: Have seen Sarah also listed as Sarah Geiou or Gew. Not sure if she married before Obediah or what, but just thought it worth mentioning in this note. MY question is, why isn't she associated with Obediah JR??? He was born 1820, and a far more lik ely candidate to be her husband. Also, the Obediah born 1837/38... was he son of Obediah, as I have listed? Or, son of one of Obediah Jr.'s brothers???
