George W. Rideout was born on June 4, 1803 in Bowdoinham, ME.
He married to Azalia (also called Azebia) Curtis on June 5, 1841 at Brunswick, ME. Azalia was born on Oct 14, 1814 in Bowdoinham.
George W. died on June 13, 1874. George W. is buried at Harding Cemetery, Brunswick ME. George was 71 years, 1 month, and 9 days old when he died.
Their children were:
- Mary E. (born June 5, 1842, died May 20, 1869 and is buried at Harding Cemetery with her father. She was 26 yrs, 7 mos and 25 days old when she died.
- Ellen C.;
- John Curtis (we descend from him);
- Jacob Thatcher;
- Fred C.;
- Frank K (born Oct 13, 1854, died at one month old on Nov 13, 1854);
- Emma C. (born on July 30, 1857, died May 4, 1942, reportedly buried at Harding Cemetery in Brunswick ME with her family).
- (This child does not appear in Soffe's book. However, I believe that there is another child of George and Azelia, as there is a transcribed burial at Ham Cemetery in Brunswick, ME that reads: Frank H. Rideout, son of Geo. and Azelia, died July 22nd, 1855 aet 5 mos. It appears that he would have been named for his previously deceased brother, Frank K., as was often the case when a child died, that a family would give the name of the deceased child to a later born child).
