Nathaniel Parker married in Kittery, in 1769, Elizabeth , who was born there in 1745. He died at sea. She moved with her family from Gorham to Durham in 1802, where she died in 1858, lacking but few months of being 113 years of age. Of her daughters Rebekah m. Nathan Kimball of Buxton ; Polly m. William Riggs of Portland ; Lydia m. Abner Wescott of Gorham; Sally m. Samuel Fickett ; Anne m. Thomas Larrabee of Durham ; Deborah m. Isaac Jenkins of York; Hannah m. Benjamin Fickett ; and Elizabeth m. William Larrabee of Dur- ham. Of her sons, Amos married (Int. Rec. 28 Jan. 1819) Char- lotte Wormell ; William married (Int. Rec. 8 Nov. 1816) Priscilla Wormell (both these settled in Guilford). Joseph lived in Cum- berland ; and Nathaniel lived in Durham.
Nathaniel Parker married (1) 1I May 1811 Ruth Stetson, who died 25 Sept. 1826; (2) 14 Feb. 1828 Abigail Stetson, sister to Ruth ; (3) 9 Oct. 1845 Abigail Wright, widow of Dr. Abijah Wright. She died 30 Sept. 1886, aged 91 yrs. 8 days. He lived on Parker Hill, lot 119. He was famous as a mover of build- ings. His own house was the first one he moved, from near Methodist Corner to Parker Hill. I can see him now standing in the window of a gable in his old age (when younger he stood on the ridge-pole) and hear him shouting, "a little harder on your off string." Fifty yoke of cattle were tugging away. He was a genial man, much respected and beloved. He died in 1875, aged 95 years.
