"The MacWithey Family of Preston, Connecticut" by Ada R. Chase, of Norwich, Connecticut is published in "THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST" Vol. 19, pp 141-150.
It may be ordered through a Family History Center from Salt Lake City, UT. It cost me about $2.50.

A quick & shortened view with some of my notes!

It starts with JAMES1 MacWithey of Dedham, MA md. Mary Everett and their children were:
1. Mary
2. James
3. Daniel
4. Margaret

2nd wife, Expierence
1. Sarah
2 David

David2 MacWithey (James1) md. Elizabeth --much written on this family, land
transactiions & will. Children:
1. James3, m. Judith Luce.
2. David, m Abigail Parks
[ dau., Olive m. William2 Green (William1) --check with me, Violet]
3. Ephraim m. Mercy Luce -- Mine (Violet) ancestors.
4. John m. Elizabeth Luce
5. Elizabeth m. John Mulkins (Lots of Info)
6. Sarah m. James Giffin

As I recall, the 3rd generation drops the "Mac" of MacWithey, so it is just WITHEY.

It ends with my (violet's) ancestors:
