"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!

David2 MacWithey (James1) md. Elizabeth --much written on this family, land
transactiions & will. Children:
