bullet  General Notes:

findagrave.com - research of K. Grundham
Lucy Hall was born in Tingwick Township, Buckinghamshire County, Québec, Canada, in 1818 or 1819 to parents Enoch Hall & Sarah Strew.
On Dec 19th, 1838 she married John "Vezy" in the Church of England in Richmond, Shipton Township, Sherbrooke County, Québec Province, the minister noting that Lucy was "of minor age." This suggests Lucy was born well after 1815 (despite evidence to the contrary), given both males and females became of age upon turning twenty-one in the province in that era.
Lucy, John and sons Robert and Chester were enumerated in Tingwick Township during the 1842 Canada census while living in the home of her father Enoch Hall, the enumerator reporting that the family of John "Vesey" consisted of a married female and two males age five and under (i.e. Lucy, Robert & Chester).
According to son Benjamin's census records the family immigrated to the United States about 1846, almost certainly to New Hampshire. If this is accurate their first three children (Robert, Chester and Benjamin) would have been born in Québec Province (likely in Tingwick Township), despite a number of records over the years suggesting they were born in New Hampshire.
The couple's ten (known) children are Robert (1839 - ?), Chester (1841 - ?), Benjamin A. (1843 - 1913), William (1847 -1910), Sarah Jane (1849 - 1935), Hannah (1850 - ?), Phoebe Ann (1852 - 1914), Simeon R. (1853 - 1944), Ann (circa 1854 - ?) and Albert E. (1862 - ?), though a significant gap exists between the years 1855 to 1861.
According to the book "History of Dummer, New Hampshire 1773-1973", three of the family's children died during the diphtheria epidemic that plagued the area in the mid-1860's, all of them being buried on a hill not far from the house where they lived in Dummer. So many people died during that epidemic that death records are scarce. With often multiple deaths in one household many graves didn't get headstones, because the family just couldn't afford that many all at once.
After 1860 there seems to be no trace of Robert, Hannah and Ann. At least two of these children are buried on that hill near their home.
Lucy's husband John died of pneumonia at Camp Adirondack in northeast Washington D.C. on April 26th, 1863 during the Civil War while serving with Company E of the 14th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry Regiment and is buried in the nation's capital.
After John died Lucy married John McIntire, who probably resided in Milan or Berlin, New Hampshire. Lucy's daughter Sarah Jane stated Berlin as her residence when she filed an intention to marry Andrew J. Lang with the Milan town clerk in 1868, so Berlin seems most likely.
John and Lucy were married sometime after 1863, but he did not appear in the 1870 census of Milan with her, thus it's possible her second husband also died in the diphtheria epidemic, though more likely in Milan or Berlin as opposed to Dummer.
On Oct 11, 1870 in Portland, Maine Lucy married Jasper Marston, son of Simon Marston Sr. and Hannah Woodsum. Jasper was born in Auburn, Maine, and when they married both were residing in Milan, New Hampshire. He was first married to Lucretia Gammon in 1830 in Maine, where they raised four children. It's yet to be determined if Lucretia died or they divorced.
In 1880 Lucy was again a widow and by then had moved to Stark, New Hampshire, where she was living with her daughter Phoebe Ann Cole during the 1880 U.S.Census, and where she died in 1892. It is believed Jasper died in 1879 in Milan, but no record or burial place has yet to be located. Lucy is buried in a family plot with her son Simeon.
