Biography

Joseph was born in 1745.

[Arrest and Trial of Joseph INMAN.ARREST AND TRIAL OF JOSEPH INMAN OF ORONO, F OR MURDER IN 1801 Joseph INMAN, Sen. was an early settler of what is now Orono, where he came 1783, in June. In July, 1801, one Oliver HOMES alias CHAPMAN, also a resident was missing. HOMES and INMAN had quarreled -- perhaps when under the influence of rum. With almost entire unanimity the people charged INMAN with the murder of HOMES. Complaint was made to Col. Jonathon EDDY, of Eddington.

THE COMPLAINT."To Jonathan EDDY, Esquire, one of the Justices assigned to keep the Peace within and for said Country. Whereas we whose names are under written, have strong suspicion and serious reasons to apprehend; and we have violent reasons to suspect that Joseph INMAN, Amble INMAN, wife of the said Joseph INMAN, and Asenath HOMES, wife of the said Oliver HOMES, and James PAGE all of Colbornton Plantation aforesaid, have murdered him the above said Oliver HOMES, or been accessory to the above said murder. We the refore request you the said Justice to issue your warrant to apprehend the said Joseph INMAN, Amble INMAN, Asenath HOMES, and James PAGE, and bring before me the said Justice, for examination, touching the above complaint that they may be further dealt by according to the law. July 22, 1801 Emerson ORCUTT, John PHILLIPS Archbald MCPH ETRES." Col. EDDY issued his warrant the same day for the arrest of the parties, and Joseph INMAN, Jr., William INMAN, Hannah PAGE, John MANSELL and David REED were summoned as witnesses. The examination was had the 23rd of July at the house of Esquire EDDY, in Eddington - his house was nearly opposite end the Veazie Dam. Nearly the whole population of the upper Penobscot were there; the roads were few, and they came by water. Public opinion was against the prisoners - one or all of them. As to the testimony, tradition says that William INMAN swore that he saw his father strike HOMES. One piece of testimony has come down. The origional I now have before me worn and soiled by 86 years. I give a copy:"This day being on Sunday morning about 8 o'clock, William INMAN son of Joseph INMAN of Cobenton Plantation so called, being about 22 or 23 years old, came to be with the following account of what appeared to him the evening before: -"I, William INMAN being at a place called Mash's Island on Penobscot river in a house of Joseph TREAT, and John SPENCER came in with a pint of rum and told me if I would fetch some watter I should have some grog to drink with him. I took a pail in my hand and steped out of the door and stepped tow or three steps towards the watter and something appeared before me but I went to get some watter and looking about it seemed to be a Gost. I dipped some watter and turned about to go back. It rose right up before me and seemed to go backwards toward s the house, and whether it - or not I can not tell for I was very much surprised but it spoke to me and said you may now no what you wanted to no. Your father was the very man that killed me, and walked away and this I am willing to take my oath of. his William X INMAN mark. But whatever the testimony, it was sufficient to commit Joseph INMAN to the Pownalboro Jail, which is now Dresden, to answer to the charge of murder, at the next term of the Court for the County of Lincoln, where murder cases were returnable. INMAN laid in Jail some mon ths; when to the surprise of everyone HOMES appeared in Orono. He had been in Rhode Island visiting and saw in some newspaper, the account of the arrest of INMAN, and came back to "show people that he was not dead."INMAN was soon discharged, and a petition was sent to the General Court in his behalf.

PETITION. To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in General Court assembled: The subscriber beg leave to represent that Joseph INMAN of a plantation called Colburntown in the County of Hancock, a settler on land of the Commonwealth.(1)
