• 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.
