Abial and Sophronia were divorced before 1860. In July of 1860, she was living with her sister, Apphia, in Portland and working as a seamstress [1860 Census of Portland, NARA Microcopy 653, Roll 436, Page 205, Dwelling 43, Family 58). She married her second husband, Charles Gardner of Otisfield, sometime after Charles' first wife, Eliza Brackett Gardner, died on 16 December 1868 (OTISFIELD HISTORY [op. cit.], 397; OTISFIELD VRs [op. cit.], 300).

 Apparently, Abial and Ruth's marriage was also short-lived. In 1883, she married Arthur Flood in Worcester, Massachusetts.
