Hall, of Marshfield, p. 132 ff
iv. JAMES, b. in Marshfield May 13, 1748; m. in Marshfield Nov. 19, 1770, Hannah Keene who was b. in Pembroke Nov. 29, 1747, and d. in Nobleborough Dec. 18, 1835, aged 88; he d. in Nobleborough June 30, 1829, aged 81 (town record) or 1827, aged 82 (gravestone).
By 1774 James Hall had moved from Marshfield to Waldoborough, Maine, where on Feb. 20, 1787, John Martin Shaffer, physician, sold to James Hall, shipwright, both being of Waldeborough, three hundred acres of land. [Lincoln Deeds, 28: 94] In the census of 1790 he is listed in the town of Bristol, his family consisting of himself, three males under sixteen and five females. The Walpole parish of Bristol being incorporated as Nobleborough, he became the first selectman of that town in 1790. He bought one hundred and fifty-one acres on Damariscotta Pond from Seth Curtis of Newcastle, deputy sheriff, and Silas Baker of Nobleborough on April 16, 1795. [Lincoln Deeds, 34: 184] On Oct. 20, 1803, he deeded one hundred and fifty acres in Nobleborough to his son Daniel Hall. [Lincoln Deeds, 52: 218.]
[ In additions to the Hall brothers from Marshfield there were other Halls, not related to them, in Nobleborough and the neighboring towns. In 1790 in Bristol (Nobleborough) were Levi and William Hall. Levi Hall was probably related to James Hall of Ballston (Jefferson) to whom he sold land in 1798, and James Hall was probably father of John and Isaac Hall, also of Ballstown, to whom James deeded land in 1782. Also in 1790, Isaac and Ebenezer Hall, probably a father and son, were living in Newcastle. As a result, the name Hall is very common in Lincoln County, and Hall genealogy presents difficulties.]
