She married second 20 Mar 1860 at Bath, New Hampshire, Nathan Batchelder.
From The History of Monroe:
Asenath Heath Duncan had a very interesting life. She and her husband, William Harvey Duncan, went west, part way by wagon, and settled in Keosauqua, Iowa where he built the first water-driven grist mill in the state. Their dau. Susan, was born in Buffalo on the way out. William Duncan died and Asenath decided to return east. Many men were anxious to marry her but she didn't care for any of them. She was also bothered by Indians. Sitting alone in her cabin at night with her children, she would often see an Indian peering in at the window. So she returned to Monroe and later married Nathan Batchelder. There are many anecdotes related by her great grandson, Senator Ralph Flanders, who describes her as a remarkable and lovable character.
