A Maine Record of Birth list "Mary Haskell Haines," born March 30, 1846, probably in Dexter, to John F. and Pamela (Additon) Haynes. Her middle name does not match. Still, this has to be her.
"Narrative of the Town of Machias", p. 366, lists Levi's wife's name as Bell Haines. Family notes identify her as "Pamela", surname unknown.
"Maine State Archives" lists her name as M. Belle Haines.
From the "Bangor Daily Whig and Courier," ME, June 14, 1865, p. 2,
The 1870 census shows a 24-year-old milliner, Mary A. Bridgham, living with Levi Bridgham in Dexter, Maine. Presumably, this is Mary Arabelle.
