Isles of Shaols:Marriage Notes (Hannah Moulton)
" Shortly after the death of Mr. Tucke [in 1773], the Rev. Jeremiah Shaw was invited to preach on these islands, and here he remained, for the greater part of the time, till the dispersion of the inhabitants in 1775. The troubles occasioned by the war, with some other causes, prevented his settling here, agreeably to the wishes of the people.
Since this period, so small have been the numbers, and so impoverished the circumstances of these islanders, that they have not had the ability, and, by degrees, have lost the disposition, to support the ordinances of religion. The laws and regulations, by which their fathers were governed, and which were means of preserving order and harmony in their little commonwealth, were laid aside. The people neglected the annual choice of town officers. They had no regular schools for the education of their children. The sabbath was neglected and profaned. In consequence of these deviations from the "old paths and good ways" of their fathers, the people rapidly degenerated. The vices of cursing and swearing, drunkenness, quarrelling, and disobedience to parents, became, in an awful degree, prevalent. The people have grown up in a great degree ignorant of the great doctrines and duties of religion, and of the first rudiments of science and letters ; and, in the near neighbourhood of Christians, were degenerating fast to a state of heathenism.
The deplorable state of these people, in a moral and religious view, was made known to the "Society for propagating the Gospel," in Boston ; and immediately, at their expense, a missionary was engaged, who spent three months among them, at the close of the year 1799. In the summer of 1800, the Society sent one of their own members, to inquire into the circumstances of these people, with a view to afford them the necessary relief and instruction. In consequence of his report, and the advice of Dudley A. Tyng, Esq. of Newburyport, who has been the prime mover and agent, in all the proceedings for the benefit of these poor people, a subscription was opened for the purpose of raising money to erect a place of worship on these islands. Gentlemen of humane feelings and of liberality, in Salem, Newburyport, Portsmouth, Exeter, Ipswich, Boston, and Charlestown, in the two places first named especially, subscribed generously ; and from the avails, an edifice of stone, with a cupola, was erected in September and October, 1800, on the highest spot oh Star island, which answers the treble purpose of a place of worship, a school-house, and a land-mark for seamen.* At the same time, these suffering people received a liberal supply of clothing, bedding, wood, &c. from a number of charitable people in Newburyport, Salem, and Charlestown. The society for propagating the gospel, and several booksellers in Boston, gave books and stationary suited to their circumstances, sufficient, with proper usage, to last several years. A missionary, (Mr. Josiah Stevens) under commission from the Society for propagating the gospel, went to these islands in April, 1801, preaches on the sabbath, and has a school of about thirty scholars during the week, and is evidently in a sphere of great usefulness.
From the dispersion of the inhabitants of these isles in 1775, till November 14, 1800, the few, who remained, had lived, for the most part, without law or order, destitute of the means of religious or moral instruction, and had, of course, degenerated into a pitiable state of ignorance, poverty, anarchy, and wickedness. At the period last mentioned, when their new meeting-house was dedicated, the inhabitants assembled, and, by the written compact annexed,* formed themselves into a social state, and, in a formal manner, pledged themselves to abide by certain regulations, and elected two of their number, as assessors, who, with the missionary, for the time being, were invested with power to carry said compact into effect.
In consequence of all these things, these islands are renovating in their appearance ; and a hope is entertained, that they will soon rise to their former state of regularity, and respectability. Should Massachusetts and New-Hampshire cede their right in these islands to the United States, (a plan which some have contemplated,) and the federal government should think it expedient to establish them as a free port, and form a harbour, and erect the necessary fortifications and lights, they would soon become a place of much importance to the United States.
* This house is 36 feet long, and 24 wide, on the outside. The walls are two feet thick, and eleven in height in the clear ; the whole building is painted white. The inside is finished in a plain stile, and furnished with a stove, for the accommodation of the school in winter. This house was dedicated, in a formal and solemn manner, on the 14th of Nov. 1800. The sermon was preached, and the other services performed, on this occasion, by the Rev. J. Morse, D. D. of Charlestown. His discourse was founded on Psalm cxviii. 25. "O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity." "

Rev. Jeremiah Shaw, b. in Hampton, July 26th, 1747; graduated from Harvard College in 1767. Early in life he felt a call to preach, and acceptably served as pastor for short periods, in Gosport, New Castle, Rye, Exeter, Salisbury and other towns not far from the Maine and New Hampshire coasts. In 1779, he was ordained and settled over the Congregational church in Moultonborough, N.H., where he received a donation of land and a large and commodious parsonage according to the custom of the times. He remained here as pastor for fifty-five years, having for the last five years an assistant, being to infirm to attend to all the requisites of a church who in their turn refused to listen to his offers of resignation. In his farewell discourse at the close of this pastorate, he spoke of having seen six generations of his family, commencing with his grandfather and ending with his great-grandchildren. Though not coveting a reputation as controversialist, he was induced about the time of the rise of Universalism to engage in a public discussion on that subject with Rev. Hosea Ballou, one of the pioneers in that denomination, acquitting himself with credit, and to the perfect satisfaction of his parishioners and other listeners sharing his own religious opinions. He died Oct. 20, 1834, honored and beloved by the whole community, and his memory was still held in great reverence by his numerous descendants. "Parson Shaw" as he was called, married Hannah, daughter of Capt. John Moulton of Hampton. She died Mar. 26, 1827.
