Abraham Staal, born 1752 at Gouda, died 18?? was trained for the ministry at the Amsterdam Mennonite seminaryand served as Mennonite pastor at Goes 1779-1787, Bolsward 1787-1788, and Leeuwarden 1788-1798. Particularly after 1795 Staal, an ardent Patriot and admirer of the principles of the French Revolution, engaged in politics and became a member of the provincial government of Friesland in 1796 and soon after a judge in the provincial court. Having been temporarily suspended in 1797 because of his political activity, he resigned in 1798. In 1794 Staal insisted on the establishment of a foundation for pensioning the widows of Mennonite ministers in Friesland; it was, however, not established until 1804.
