26 Joseph/3 Lamson ( Joseph, /2 William/1) was born at Maiden, Mass., July 28, 1684, and died about 1740. He married Hannah Newhall, daughter of Lieutenant Thomas and Rebecca (Green) Newhall, of Maiden, Mass., July 13, 1708, at Charlestown, Mass.

Joseph Lamson was a Cordwainer and lived in Maiden, Mass. It is recorded that "Joseph Lamson and wife Hannah were admitted inhabitants of Boston, Jan. 31, 1736." Another record says that "Hannah, widow of Joseph Lamson, and son Benjamin, were admitted inhabitants of Boston."

In the records of York County, Me., we find that Joseph Lampson of Maiden buys of John Lane of Gloucester, Essex County, Mass., lands in Casco Bay, Me.

We also find record of a deed in which Aaron Cleveland, Samuel Newhall, Joseph Lampson and Josiah Nichols, of Maiden, Mass., with others, grant to Benoy Bogg a tract of land in the Township of North Yarmouth, called Lane's Point (in Casco Bay) Dec. 25, 1732. (N. E. Hist. & Gen. Reg., Vol. 35, p. 382.)
