Facts and Events
Might be buried in Newfane Hill Cemetery, with a death of 21 Aug 1825. [This would be supported by p. 718 of The Halls of New England, which makes reference to (we believe) this Jonathan "settled in Newfane, Vt."] Centennial Proceedings and Other Historical Facts and Incidents Relating to Newfane, VT, p. 140: The church has had a goodly array of deacons in its past history... Jonathan Hall... p. 247: Jonathan Hall listed as a "lister" for 1794 and 1810. His son, Jonathan Hall, Jr. (VI) was also a lister in 1818. From: "betty lusk" <eblusk@@cox.net> Subject: Halls in Newfane Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:44:50 -0800 Several years ago I went over the Newfane Property deeds, and found Jonathan and family doing quite a bit if buying and selling, which included selling his pew in the Newfane Church to Jonathan, Jr. I bring this up because I ran across an interesting Newfane Church note in a book I have: "The Most Beautiful Villages of New England", by Tom Shachtman, p. 186, in the section on Newfane: "For a time in the mid-nineteenth century there was a "Union Church" in which several denominations held services-the Congregationalists on twenty and a half Sundays of the year, the Calcinists on thirteen, the Methodists on eleven the Unitarians on seven and the Baptists on one and a half. When the Congregationalists became dissatisfied with this arrangement, they built their own church also near the common, and the Union Church became the Union Hall, used for community functions." The beautiful Congregational Church was built in 1836. References
