    Vernon.



    "HALL, JOSIAH, Winthrop, Private, Capt. Oliver Colborn's Company of Minute Men, Col. Arnolds regiment. Enlisted July 25, 1775; service 20 days." (From Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War", Vol 7, page 96.)



    "Josiah Hall was born in Wrentham May 16, 1743. He married Amiable (Anna) Allen who was born December 14, 1741. Josiah Hall settled on Lot #11 in Winthrop. About 1782 he moved to Washington Plantation (now Mt. Vernon). He was prominent in
    town affairs while in Winthrop. He came to Winthrop from Wrentham before the incorporation of the town. He was a Town Clerk from 1771 to 1778. The Decleration of Independence were spread upon the Town's records 'in his full, round and
    legible hand.' He was one of the members of the Committee of Correspondent, Inspection and Safety in 1778" (From "History of Winthrop" by Everett S. Stockpole.)

  1. 3.  Allen Hall Descendancy chart to this point (1.Josiah1) was born on 29 Jan 1767 in Wrentham, MA; died on 19 Apr 1838 in East Dixfield, ME.

    Other Events:

    • Occupation: Revolutionary War Soldier.

    Notes:

    Allen and Maria Hall may have had two other children, Ester, a daughter, who died at the age of one and Abby, a daughter, who died at the age of eleven. (This suggestion comes from the recollection of Ella Hall.)



    Allen Hall removed to Winthrop, ME with his parents sometime before 1771. While there he married Maria Lyons. They removed to East Dixfield Village, Town of Wilton, where he was one of the earliest settlers in that area. He built a log cabin
    on a hill overlooking the center of the village. The census of 1790 lists Josiah and sons Nathan and Allen in Washington Town (now Mt. Vernon). The 1810 census has Allen in Wilton. He and his wife are buried in the East Dixfield Cemetary.



    The following is as it was told by Ella Hall who, at the time, was widow of Albion, son of Anson and grandson of Allen Hall. Its authenticity is subject to considerable doubt:



    Allen Hall, who was born at Walpole, MA, was one of the first settlers of Winthrop, ME. He was a Saxon by birth. His wife, Maria Lyons, whom he married in April 1780 was born in Massachusetts and had moved to Readfield, ME before they were
    married. Allen Hall was a Baptist Preacher. He went to war for one year during the Revolution. He was taken prisoner and lay a prisoner in Quebec Prison for six months until peace was declared. While he was a prisoner his captors told him
    that if he would swim the Shatigee River they would give him quarter. When he got across the reiver they helped him out of the water, gave him som brandy, and took him prisoner again.



    One reason for doubting the above legend is that Allen Hall was born in 1767 and consequently was only fifteen years old when the war ended in 1782.



    Ella Hall says that Allen Hall moved to Wilton before his son William was born.

    Allen married Maria Lyons in 1788. Maria was born in Mar 1769 in Winthrop Or Readfield, ME; died on 29 Aug 1856 in East Dixfield, ME. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
