About Joseph Prime


From Extended Notes on Characters in The Tory Lover by Sarah Orne Jewett link

Elizabeth [Swett] married twice. Her first husband was Dr. Mark Prime. Stackpole's "Sligo" says: "Joseph Prime was the son of her [Dorcas Wallingford's Stacpole's] step-mother, Elizabeth Wallingford, and he married, Molly, daughter of Andrew and Betsey (Abbot) Stacpole" (42).
Joseph Prime, who appears to be Elizabeth's son by the first marriage to Mark Prime, is listed in Soldiers, Sailors, and Patriots of the Revolutionary War: Maine, compiled by Carleton E. Fisher and Sue G. Fisher. National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, 1982. He was born in York 1739, married Lydia, and died in Berwick 1789.
