Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Hawley , Joseph 1723 -1788 (search)
Hawley, Joseph 1723-1788
Statesman; born in Northampton, Mass., Oct. 8, 1723; graduated at Yale College in 1742; studied theology, but abandoned it for law, and in that practice arose to distinction rapidly.
Early espousing the republican cause, he was regarded as one of its ablest advocates.
He steadily refused a proffered seat in the governor's council, but served in the Assembly from 1764 to 1776, where he was distinguished for his bold and manly eloquence.
He was chairman of the committee of the first provincial congress of Massachusetts (October, 1774) to consider the state of the country.
Mr. Hawley remained in public life until failing health compelled him to retire, and died in Hampshire county, Mass., March 10, 1788.
