He was married first to CHARLOTTE STEVENS (Lottie), the daughter of Orlow
Stevens and his first wife Miranda Taylor [their marr intent was 16 Nov,1839],
on 30 Nov, 1869 in Kennebunk [Kenn VR]. She was born in 1845 in Kennebunk
[grave], and died on 5 Dec, 1899 of diabetes at age 52yrs,2mos,26das [ME
Death Rec]. Note: age at death prob wrong; using in birth date calc. gives an
1847 birth year, a year after her mother commited suicide.
B. Palmer secondly married, on 25 Dec, 1902 in Kennebunk [ME Marr Rec], to HARRIET T RUSSELL, the daughter of Cyrus and Eliza (Seavey) Russell and former wife of James Burnham. She was born 5 July, 1860 in Alfred, Maine, and died 17 Sept, 1937 in Kennebunk [ME Death Rec]. She is buried with 2nd husband in Pine Grove Cem [YCCI p794]. In the 1900 census, she and James lived next door to Barnabus in Kennebunk.
Following his 9-month service in the 27th Maine, he reenlisted into the 9th Maine Infantry as a corporal on 20 Sept, 1864, Co K. He was mustered out on 30 June, 1865. His brother Samuel L Hill also served in the 27th ME
For most of his life, he lived in either Kennebunk or Kennebunkport. Right after his marriage, he worked for a time at a sawmill in Raymond, NH with many other Mainers [1870 census]. He was back in Kennebunk by 1890, listed in 1900 census as a farmer. Here he lived until he moved to Saco three years prior to his death. His widow returned to Kennebunk after he died. He filed for a pension on 21 Aug, 1888 (app #669,046 cert #480,485); widow Harriet filed 27 Sep, 1916 (app #1,079,270 cert #825,453).
Barnabus and Charlotte had at least two children, living with him in 1900 census. I am unable to find them in 1880 census, so unclear if there were more children (Kennebunk vr does not show any, and there are no others buried with them). He and Harriet did not have any.
I. ORLOW PRENTIS was born 24 Apr, 1886 in Kennebunk [WWII Draft Reg Card,1942]. He died Mar, 1970, probably in Rochester, NH [SSDI; #001-10-2708]. He lived in the Gonic area of Rochester until 1946, when he bought a house on No Main St [see Strafford Cty Deed v881 p415 for sale of this property]. He was named after his maternal and paternal grandfathers. He worked for the Maybury Shoe Co in Gonic. He never married.
II. RUTH BLAISDELL, born 7 Dec, 1887 in Kennebunk [Kenn VR]. She was named after the wife of Amos Stevens, Charlotte's grandmother. Further data still being researched.
