Amos and Ruth were the progenitors of the Warren branch of the Hail family, and they were connected with the Baptist Church of Warren through the middle of the 18th century. The Warren Church was a very flourishing one, it being a branch of the old Baptist Church at Swansea, and later the church associated with Rhode Island College (now Brown University). Amos was deacon of the Baptist church from 1794 to his death.
Amos Haile was only two years old at his father's death. Soon after his majority, he married Ruth Easterbrooke of Warren. About this time, he moved to Warren, where he was admitted a freeman in 1761. He either built or bought a house that stood on the Warren and Bristol town line on the West side of Main Street. This was gabled roofed and known as the "Ark" site. He was Captain of the Militia in October 1774 and an ensign the following year. He was chosen in 1787, Justice of the Peace and served until 1807. He or his son, Amos, Jr. was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas from 1802 to 1807. It is likely that he was the Judge as his son was a shipwright and Amos, Sr. had been a Justice. He deeded house lots to his sons Barnard and James and his son-in-law Hezekiah Monroe all of whom lived near him on the same side of Main Street. He is said to have owned much of the section around Haile Street.

Barnard 3 May 1758 - 8 May 1847
Sarah 16 April 1761 - 11 June 1796
