Biography

Joseph was a Quaker.

Hampton Friends Meeting

Located in Hampton, Rockingham Co., NH, the Hampton Monthly Meeting of Friends was set off in 1701 from Piscataqua Monthly Meeting (Dover, NH). It became Seabrook Monthly Meeting in 1792 and Amesbury Monthly Meeting in 1883. Weare Monthly Meeting was set off in 1795. Since 1799, the meeting house has been located in Amesbury. Quarterly Meetings were held by the New England Yearly Meeting from 1701-1705 and held by the Salem Quarterly Meeting from 1705 forward. Hampton held a Preparatory Meeting from 1701-1778, when it became Seabrook P.M. unti9l 1842.^[1][2]

The Friends were first persecuted in New England. April 14, 1674 at the Salisbury Court (MA) 13 people from Hampton were "convicted before this court for ye breach of ye law called Quakers meeting, and were all admonished & so upon paying ye fees of ye court are discharged for ye present." (Norfolk County Court Records) Although there isn't easy access to the Friends Meeting records, it appears Abraham must have been a Quaker. The History of Hampton records,

"The earliest record of the Friends' Society in Hampton, now Seabrook, begins in the year 1701. Their first "Meeting" was established, however, about 1699; and their "Quarterly Meeting," as early as 1697, perhaps earlier. At a meeting held at Hampton, in 1701, the Quakers decided to build a meeting-house. The sum of sixty-six pounds, four shillings was raised, mostly by subscription, to defray the expenses, one man paying thirty pounds.

"Thereupon, Thomas Chase, of Hampton, in consideration of love and good-will, conveyed to Joseph Chase, Abraham Green, John Stanyan and Joseph Dow, Sen., all of Hampton, aforesaid, in the name and behalf of all those christian people, called Quakers, living in Hampton, aforesaid, "to Seat a Meeting-house thereon." The deed was dated 21st 6 mo: 1701. And here, on these premises, in the autumn of that same year, the society built their meeting-house, which still exists, in a good state of preservation, though removed to another locality and for another purpose, in 1888. The frame, as originally constructed, was twenty-six and one half feet wide, thirty-two feet long, and eight feet stud."^[3]

During 1701, John Collins, Henry, Jeremiah and Joseph Dow Jr. were all known members of the Quaker Society, living in the part of Seabrook over which, at that time, the town of Salisbury exercised the right of jurisdiction and taxation. "And this year, Isaac Morrill, Jr., constable for the year 1700, took from Jeremiah Dow a quart pot, a pair of fire-tongs, a tray and a cake of tallow, to satisfy the Hireling Minister, Caleb Cushing, for preaching." The same day he took a gun from Richard Smith, "to pay the priest for preaching in Salisbury." A few years later they were exempted from paying the minister's rate.^[4]

The meeting house was used by Friends of Hampton, NH, Amesbury and Salisbury, MA for their weekly meetings until the Amesbury Meeting House was built in 1705. The monthly meetings were held there until May 18, 1710 when it was held at Amesbury. For the next 60 years it was held alternately at Amesbury and Hampton, the later going by the name Hampton Falls in 1719 and Seabrook in 1768. The first marriage recorded was in 1705, held at the home of Thomas Barnard, where the meeting was held for the occasion of joining John Peaslee and Mary Martin, witnessed by 47 Friends.^[3]
