  • Notes 
    • Josiah Hall was born in Wrentham May 16, 1743.  He married Amiable (Anna) Allen who was born December 14, 1741. Josiah and Amiable removed to Winthrop, Maine and settled on Lot #11 in Winthrop. He came to Winthrop from Wrentham before the incorporation of the town.

      "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.)

      He was prominent in town affairs while in Winthrop. He was the Town Clerk from 1771 to 1778 and then became a Town Selectman in 1778 ("History of Winthrop" by Everett S. Stockpole). 

      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.)

      About 1782, they removed to Washington Plantation, now Mt. Vernon.

      From Cheryl Hall, March 2019:

      Josiah and Amiable (Allen) Hall's first child was Betsey Hall, born 11 Aug 1763 in Massachusetts (probably Wrentham but I cannot find a record) and yes, I know, that is prior to the parents marriage.

      Betsey married 1788 in Readfield, Kennebec, Maine, to John Shed(d), b. 10 Aug 1762, Tewksbury, Middlesex, MA, d. 29 Sep 1842 in Vienna, Kennebec, Maine. Betsey died 6 Jul 1849 in Vienna, Kennebec, Maine.

      Josiah Hall does not appear in the US Census after 1800, so likely he died BEF. 1810. No records for his death have been found.
