Biography

Joel Hallowell served briefly in the War of 1812, as a private in Capt. Gideon Barton's Co., of Mass. militia, evidently on an alarm at Damariscotta, Maine. He was discharged there on 12 September 1814, having enlisted at Windsor, Maine, on September 3rd.

It is of interest to note that the early land records of Kennebec County, Maine, give his name as "Halloway" or "Holloway" on several of the deeds in which he was a grantor or grantee.

Joel Hallowell was married at Sidney, Maine, by Rev. Ava Wilbur, 27 March 1811, to Rhoda Robinson, of Sidney. Their first nine children are listed on the records of Windsor, Maine. Later they removed to the adjoining town of China, where the United States censuses show them living in the years of 1850 and 1860. One account of Rhoda Robinson says she was born in Dartmouth, Mass., another that her birthplace was Sidney, Maine. She died 5 January 1879, aged 88, according to the inscription on her gravestone.
