Married first Mary Dexter Eaton who died in March 1804.

Married second in December 1804 Esther Barber, daughter of Zechariah Barber, also of Warwick, but no apparent relation to Warwick residents and brothers Thomas and Joseph Barber originally of Rehoboth.

M. Allred claimed she was daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Miller) Barber, but we know that that Esther Barber married Amzi Doolittle, Jr.

He is NOT the Amos Marsh of Sunderland, MA. That Amos Marsh -- while son of another Amos Marsh -- was born in 1785. More likely THIS Amos Marsh remained in Warwick until 1819 when William Cobb's diary indicates that the town raised money to send Amos Marsh (this one) to family in Eaton, NY.

Review of William Cobb's Warwick diary (transcription of which is at the Warwick Free Public Library), specifically the entry for 19 August 1819, indicates that the town donated $40 to help pay for "the family of Amos Marsh" to travel to family living in Eaton, NY. And indeed Amos Marsh and family are found in the 1820 census for Eaton, New York. See source 4.

Amos likely died after the 1820 census and before the 1830 census. One Esther Marsh is head of household in Whitestown, Oneida County, New York. See source 5.

    18 Amos Marsh's family removed from Warwick to Eaton N.Y. being in
    needy circumstances the town made a present of 40$ to assist them in
    their removal.
    [Note: the exact wording may be useful as no explicit mention is made of Amos Marsh himself, and apparently the father, also named Amos Marsh, was at this time alive and in New York raising questions about which Amos Marsh was referenced.]
