- From FindaGrave:
Isaac was the son of Isaac Hall, Sr., of Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts and Abigail Parker of York, York County, Maine.
Abigail and Isaac were married in 1723 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
Abigail and Isaac had five children. They were:
Mary Hall was born on 27 January 1722 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts;
Lieutenant Isaac Hall, II, was born on 31 January 1724 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; Nathaniel Parker Hall was born on 29 March 1731 in York, York County, Maine;
Mehitable Hall was born in 1754 in York, York County, Maine; and
Susannah Hall was born on 06 October 1820 in South Carolina.
Isaac was married twice. Isaac married Joanna (Hannah?) Coombs on 18 November 1745 in Brunswick, Cumberland County, Maine.
Joanna and Isaac had six children. They were:
Caleb Hall was born on 10 April 1748 in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine;
Mehitable Hall was born before 18 August 1754 in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine;
Isaac Hall was born on 27 June 1757 in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine;
Joanna Hall was born before 29 March 1759 in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine;
Ephraim Hall was born before 28 June 1761 in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine; and Unidentified Hall.
Isaac married Bethia Lumber on 30 January 1762 in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine.
Bethia and Isaac had four children. They were:
Peter Hall was born on 09 April 1763;
Lewis Hall was born on 28 February 1765;
David Hall; and
Elijah Hall, Esq., was born on 01 January 1768.
All the children were born in Harpswell, Cumberland County, Maine.
Note: Isaac Hall, Jr., of Saint George enlisted as a private in Capt. Nathaniel Larrabee's Company, Massachusetts Minute Men, July 9, 1775 and served on the seacoast of Cumberland County, which was constantly receiving marauding visits from British war vessels. This company was ordered to Portland three days after Capt. Mowatt had burned it, Oct. 18, 1775, and was employed under Col. Finney in building a fort on Munjoy's Neck. The company returned to Sebascodigan Island in Jan. 1776.
His next enlistment was a private in Capt. Richard Mayberry's Company., Col. Ebenezer Frances Massachusetts Regiment organized for the defense of Boston and stationed at Dorchester Heights in 1776.
His next enlistment was for nine months, as returned by Brig. Gen. Lemuel Thompson, dated July 1, 1778 from Harpswell. He enlisted May 30, 1778, and was discharged Jan 29, 1779, serving during this period as a corporal in Capt. Abraham Tyler's Company, Col. Thomas Poor's Essex County Massachusetts Regiment, at Peekskill, and probably other places on the North River, New York.
When it was decided to send an expedition to the Penobscot to recapture Castine from the British, Isaac Hall promptly enlisted for the fourth time, on July 7, 1779, as 1st Lieut., of Capt. Nehemiah Curtis' Company, Col. Jonathan Mitchell's Mass. Regiment, and was discharged Sept. 25, 1779. This expedition was the most prominent event of the Revolution in Maine history. That much had not been made of it by the historians is due to its failure, which in no way was chargeable to the soldiers. They were the victims of circumstances. The commander of the expedition was Gen. Lovell of Massachusetts, a man of but little if any military experience. Lieut. Col. Paul Revere, made famous by Longfellow's poem, commanded the artillery. Brig. Gen. Peleg Wadsworth, the grandfather of Longfellow, was second in command. Among the British officers was Sir John Moore, famous through Wolf's funeral poem, who was a lieutenant in command of a part of the British troops which unsuccessfully opposed the American landing at Trask's Pock, and their susequent scaling of the heights. Moore wrote an account of the affair to his father and a copy of the letter is printed in the Collection of the Maine Historical Society. The discomfiture of the patriot army by reason of the arrival of a British fleet in Castine, Aug. 14, discouraged it from further action, and undisciplined and undrilled as it was, disintegration followed. In retreat, the Harpswell men came by way of Camden, halting at Clam Cove (now Glencove) Aug. 17, and arriving home the last of August.
Isaac Hall, Jr., the son of Isaac and Abigail Hall, was born in Boston, Jan. 31, 1724. As early as 1738, he appears as a resident in Merriconeag Neck, a part of the Pejepscot purchase, afterwards Harpswell. He afterwards removed to Great Island, called Sebascodegan, near the east shore of the Neck, where he built a house near the shore, and opposite Harpswell Neck, where the passage is the narrowest. After the re-peopling of the island in 1752, Isaac, Jr., is supposed to have been the first ferryman between the island and the mainland.
When he was 28 years old he married Joanna Coombs of New Meadows, probably a daughter of Anthony Coombs. It is probable also that he was a soldier at the taking of Louisburg in 1745, although there is no record of his service. Just when he came to Thomaston, Maine is not known, but he resided there for a time, and afterwards removed to that part of Cushing, now in Saint George, his name and that of his son, Isaac (3d) appearing as residents of Cushing, in the census of 1790. His family record appears in Part 2.??
