Categories: Jonesboro, Maine | Haverhill, Massachusetts
That his first marriage took place in Haverhill rather than Amesbury may be an assumption. His second marriage may have been in southern New Hampshire. Haverhill and Amesbury are 11 miles apart on the left bank of the Merrimack river just south of New Hampshire.
