PREFACE.

" It is a noble faculty of our nature," said Daniel Webster,
" which enables us to connect our thoughts and sympathies with
what is before and after us, and hold communion at once with our
ancestors and our posterity. There is also a moral and philosophical
respect for our ancestors which elevates and improves the heart.
Next to a sense of religious duty and moral feeling, I hardly know
what should bear with stronger obligation on a liberal and enlightened
mind than a consciousness of an alliance with excellence which is de
parted, and a consciousness too that in its acts and conduct, and even
in its sentiments and thoughts, it may be operating on the happiness
of those that come after it."
We cannot know ourselves unless we know our ancestors. There
is a distinctness of characteristics which adhere to families for many i
generations, and sometimes become national. The mental, moral, j
and physical character of the Jew of to-day may be easily traced in |
the family of Jacob, his great ancestor.
Each individual is a link in a very long chain. This chain which
binds together human aiHnities has marvelous combinations and
variations, each one of which, it is needful to understand in order to i
arrive at accurate conclusions.
Some links in this chain are of iron, some of silver, and others of
gold, but there is still a similarity as well as a connection, and the
precious links reflect their excellence upon all the others.
And, as family connections cannot be severed, let each portion!
cherish the other, especially let children reverence their parents and
ancestors, even as they may wish in their turn to be held in affectionate
remembrance and honor by those who may. come after them.
IVIost people know but little of their ancestors beyond those with
whom they have had a personal acquaintance, and do not possess
even a laudable curiosity which wc ' lead them to make inquiries
after them. It arises probably more fn m carelessness or the pressure
of business engagements than from any want of reverence or
affection, so that w.hen their attention is called to the subject and the
means of knowing is presented, they become interested and are eager
to be informed..

iv Hall Genealogy.
Hence the importance that some should engage, in cc-ipiling
family genealogies, that the hearts of the children may be turned to
their fathers.
It is generally a work of love on the part of the compiler, for
there is no work so perplexing and wearing to the mind, none that
requires more patience and perseverance, ajid none that receives less
praise or pecuniary remuneration.
HISTORY OF THE WORK.
At an early age I was eager to know more of my ancestors, and
in 1846 I found it convenient to visit the places where they had
lived. I then examined the records, and noted all that I found of
value concerning them. I had then no thought of printing a gen
ealogy. It did not seriously engage my attention until, in the procejss
of time, by reason of advanced age, I had become relieved from the
more laborious duties of my profession. But all along I had fre
quent opportunities of receiving as well as of imparting information
by an extensive correspondence.
My first intention was to^ compile only my own line, the Halls of
Medford, but afterwards I concluded to embrace in the work all the
records that I could find. And I have found much more than I
then supposed was in existence, and still the work is far from con
taining all that might be obtained.
I was urged to engage in the business by several motives, I had
leisure, I wished to keep my mind employed, I was interested in the
work, and above all I considered it a sacred duty which I owed to
all concerned, ancestors and posterity, the living and the dead, the
past, the present and the future.
The work has involved much more labor than I anticipated, as
well as several years more of time.
Many of those who have given me encouragement and informa
tion have passed away, but I do not forget them, or others who have
also sympathized with me in my labors, and have procured the record
of their ancestors and near of kin for this work, I shall ever regard
them with affection and gratitude. They will also receive the
thankful remembrance of those whose record they have rescued
from oblivion and placed in permanent form, for all time.
The early Hall emigrants were very numerous ; but Httle is
known of many of them ; the posterity of some are traced only to a
very limited extent ; while others have a fair representation.

Preface. v
By the time this small edition is disposed of, there will probably
a call for a supplement to it. It should therefore be known
ere materials can be sent and preserved for such a use.
Whether it will be possible for me to compile such a supplement
or not I cannot say at present, but I am willing to receive such re
cords as may be sent to nfe, and will hold them in readiness for use
at the proper time, I would also request any who may discover errors
in this work, to send the corrections to me that they may be inserted
in the supplement.
ORDER OF CONSTRUCTION.
It is essential to good order in all lengthy genealogies either to
number the individuals or the families, I have adopted the latter
method as being more concise and convenient, saving much space
and labor.
NAMES WHICH WILL REAPPEAR.
Much perplexity arises in most genealogies for want of an index
placed at the end of such names as will reappear as heads of families.
To obviate such perplexity and to indicate which names will re
appear and to enable the reader to turn at once directly to such a
family I have given the word family in full with its number as an
index to such names as will thus reappear. They will generally be
be, found in the next generation. But as the Halls of Medford are
divided into eleven parts the names of heads of all the parts except
the first are carried forward from the first to the other parts. For
instance, take the name of Willis Hall in the family of Percival
Hall (page 300), the index is (Family 17, Part 10), the reader is to
look along on the top ofthe right hand pages until Part 10 is found
on page 452, where he will find (Family 17; Willis Hall'. In a
similar manner the heads of the other Parts may be traced.
STYLE.
It was my design to adopt the line style of construction but out
of economical considerations I was obliged to adopt the solid form,
thus being able to comprise in one volume the records which in the
line style would have been spread over the pages of two volumes.
However by repeated importunities I have made an exception in
favor of the Halls of Taunton.

vi Hall Genealogy,
PEDIGREES.
To obviate the necessity of searching for pedigrees as in many
genealogies, I have adopted the method of giving a full pedigree to
every head of a family or brotherhood of families.
ABBREVIATIONS.
The usual abbreviations are employed in this work as b. for born,
bapt. for baptized, m. for married, d. for died or dead, and, others
which are easily understood.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME HALL.
^ The Surname Hall is derived from at least three sources.
I. The Norwegian word for flint is hallr, its final letter is silent,
and only indicates the nominative case. The word also signified
a hero, and on this account the Norwegians often gave it as a name to
their children, and it finally became a surname. The old Norse
hallr, hals and the Anglo-Saxon haele, haletta, signify the same, a
hero. The surname Hawes has the same derivation as Hall.
Hallett and Henry are diminutives ofthe same.
Hallse means the son of Henry.
The Norwegians settled quite extensively in Scotland, and hence/*
the Scotch Halls.
2. The English Manor House is another source of the name of
Hall. In Medieval documents the Manor House is called " Alle, " Halle,
" De Aula and " Del Hall."
The principal apartment was the hall, which was used as a petty
court of justice, as well as the scene of entertainment, hence the
tenant or chief servitor acquired the surname De Aula or Del Hall
which was retained by his eldest son.
3. The word in Welsh for salt is hall, and a worker in salt is
haller, and a dwelling near salt works or on low marshy ground near
the sea is halham, halla or halle, hence the origin of the name ofthe
ancient Castle Halla, now City Halle, in Saxony, as extensive salt
works are known to have been located there. Or the castle may
have taken its name from its chief, who of course was haele hero.

Preface. vii
The great mass of English Halls undoubtedly are the posterity of
the men of Halle who came in the successive Saxon invasions of
England. They were called De la Halle, which became a surname,
and is now simply Hall.
William of Normandy, who conquered England, and his followers,
'' insulted dreadfully over the ancient Saxon nobility and spoiled
their estates," whose descendants four hundred years later, still
groaning under oppression, glad to embrace so good an opportunity
for enjoying their ancient rights and love of liberty, emigrated in great
numbers to America.
Is is said that the Halls of Great Britain exceed in number any
other name except those of Smith, Jones, Brown and Robinson.
Also, Albert Wells, late of New York, informed me that he had
in his possession io6r various specimens of Hall coat of arms.

COAT OF ARMS.

Much inquiry has been made for arms preserved in the Hall
famiUes in New England, and although several have been found, no
one of them is satisfactory in every respect, yet most of them point
to the Halls of Warwickshire, Eng., as their origin. Therefore I
have chosen that as a representative illustration. The late Albert
Welles, president of the New York College of Heraldry, prepared
the copy, and the Heliotype Company of Boston, printed them.
The probability is that the Chevron should have been cross marked
to signify its being sable. Description.
Shield, argent, on a chevron between three columbines, azure,
stalked and leaved vert, a mullet of six points, or.
Crest.
A Talbot's head erased, proper.
Motto.
Turpiter Desperatur.

HALLS OF MIDDLETOWN, CONN.

First Generation.
{Family i.) Mr. John Hall, the emigrant ancestor of the Halls
of Middletown, was born in the county of Kent, Eng., 1584. His
will was dated May 14, 1673, in which he stated that he was then
nearly 89 years old and that it was the 40th year of his living in New
England. He died in Middletown, Conn., May 26, 1673, in the
89th year of his age.
He married Esther  . It is probable that she died before
the family emigrated.
John Hall came from the west of England to Boston in 1633,
settled first in Cambridge and soon after removed to 'Roxbury where
the prefix of respect Mr. was accorded to him on the records of Mr.
Elliot's church. In those days the prefix of Mr. was given to only
a very few persons ; and generally indicated that such persons were
entitled to a coat of arms.
John Hall's name is found in a rate bill on the records of Rox
bury for 1634, in which his family is recorded as consisting of four
persons. Sept. 4, 1633, John Hall, John Oldham and two other men started
for the Connecticut river, where they were reported to be in October.
They returned to the Bay towns on the 20th of January, 1634. It was
their favorable report of the rich bottom lands on the Connecticut,
which led to the migrations from Dorchester to Wethersfield and
Windsor, and from Cambridge to Hartford in 1635-6.
Mr. Hall was made freeman in Boston, 1635. He probably
joined the Hooker and Stone colony and went to Hartford soon after,
but did not remove his family" until 1639.
He was a carpenter by trade and was no. doubt an efficient aid in
constructing the first buildings in Hartford.
Mr. Hall drew the home lot No. 77 of six acres on the brow of
Lord's hill, in 1639. He also bought lands the same year of Wm.
Hooker and Wm. Bloomfield.
The Hall lot No. 77 is the same as the Sigourney place, and since
occupied by Gov. Catlin.

2 Hall Genealogy.
John Hall was a surveyor of highways in Hartford, in 1640.
In 1650, having sold his house and home lot to Wm. Spencer, he
removed with his family to Middletown, then called Matabesick,
which had been lately purchased of the great Sachem or Sequin Sawe-
heag, being one of the original proprietors.
This home lot containing five acres was located on the north-east
corner of Main street and Washington street of Middletown, running
to the " Great River " and adjoined the home lot of his son-in-law,
Thomas Wetmore on the north.
He was appointed March 19, 1659, by General Court held at Hart
ford " for the entry and recording such goods as are subject to
customs for Middletown." Before as well as after this time Mr.
Hall held divers offices of honor and trust, indeed he seemed to be
the patriarch and leader of the new settlement.
Mr. Hall was born duringt he reign of Queen Elizabeth, 1584,
and lived through a most eventful period of English History.
And he no doubt rejoiced in his old age to see his children
settled in a broad and fertile land, and destined to be henceforth in
their generations free from the grinding oppression of those upper and
lower millstones — the nobility and the hierarchy.
His posterity are very numerous and respectable, but we have
been able to collect only a small portion of their names in this
genealogy. The names of his children were :
1. John, b. in England, 1619 (Family 2).
2. Richard, b. in England, 1620 (Family 3).
3. Sarah, b. in England, 1622 (Family 4).
4. Samuel, b. in England, 1626 (Family 5).

deacon of the church of Middletown, March 11, 1670. He was
toy;n clerk and recorder from 1665 to the end of his hfe. He also
represented the town in General Court during the May session i65'2

and at other times. Dea. Hall made his will May 23, 1691, in which
he gave most of his estate, valued at ^£345 to his wife Mary, with
legacies to his step-son Ebenezer Hubbard and to the sons and grand
sons of his brothers Richard and Samuel.
The following pathetic if not poetic epitaph upon his grave stone,
now standing in the old Middletown cemetery, gives evidence of
his many virtues. " Here lyes our Deacon Hall who studied peace with all,
¦Was upright in his life, void of malignant strife
Gone to his rest — left us in sorrow
Doubtless his good works will him follow."
(Family 3.) Richard Hall% John^- b. in England in 1620; d.
in Middletown, March 27, 1691. In his will, made Jan. 11, 1691,
he said he was then 71 years old; m. Mary  ; she came with
him in the fall of 1650, from Hartford to Middletown; she died
March 30, 1691, only three days after the death of her husband.
Richard Hall was a weaver by trade. He was a large land-holder,
had lands recorded June 9, 1654. His home lot containing five
acres was situated on the north side of Main street and is a strip of
land extending between Court and College streets to High street.
He gave his estate, inventoried at ,£432, as follows : to his son John
his house and home lot; to his son Samuel the house he built for
his son John on High street; to his daughter Mary his Western
street range of lots at Westfield ; to his daughter Sarah Blake seven
and one-half acres wood lot ; and to daughter Anna £10. The

Rev. Ammi Robbins, Oct, 12, 1794, Abigail, dau. of Elijah Hubbard,
she was born at Middletown, Conn., Oct. 18, 1767, and died at
North Bennington, March 24, 1846. The emigrant ancestor of
Abigail Hubbard was George Hubbard (born in Wakefield, England,
in 1594, and came to Hartford from Boston 1636), was an early set
tler of Middletown, and near neighbor to John Hall, her husband's
emigrant ancestor. They were both settled about the meeting house
yard at the northern end of Main street, and both were prominent
inhabitants, as may be seen by the Middletown Address ofthe Rev.
David D. Field, pages 40, 146 and 149. Their descendants became
strangers to each other. The lineal descent of Abigail from
George Hubbard was through the following ancestors, all born at
Middletown, viz.: Nathaniel, b. Dec. 10, 1652; Ebenezer, b. Oct.
2, 1690 ; Elijah, b. Jan. 16, 1737. She could also claim her de
scent from the Rev. Samuel Stow, the first minister of Middletown,
her grandmother, wife of Ebenezer Hubbard, having been his grand
daughter. (See Fields Address, 48, 55, and Wetmore Memorial,
32-34, 502.) Nathaniel Hall came to Bennington with his father
in 1779, where he continued to reside through life. Mr. Hall and
his wife both united with the Baptist church about 1 800, of which
he became a deacon and was the leader in devotional singing. He
was a quiet, unobtrusive man of exemplary, moral and religious
character, and was respected and beloved by his neighbors and ac
quaintances. Rev. Mr. Jennings says, in his Bennington Memo
rial, "¦ Dea. Hall was spoken of as ' an Israelite indeed, in whom was
no guile.' " He was an industrious and successful farmer. His
wife a worthy "helpmete." Children were born in Bennington:

and Mary (Tuttle) Davis, b. March 2, 1792, at Rockingham, and d.
at Bennington, Jan. 8, 1879. Her early education, though some
what limited, was such that she became a successful teacher. She
was remarkable for strength of mind and character, and was possessed
of uncommon personal beauty. In company she always drew atten
tion for her queenly appearance and high social quahfications. She
had a retentive memory which was especially shown in her later years,
by the repeating of much she had learned when quite young, and in
many cases whole pages of prose or verse which had particularly

mpressed her. She enjoyed the confidence and esteem of her,
neighbors and friends, and richly deserved the approbation she received
fo/ her successful efforts in the management and rearing of so large
a family, mostly boys, her husband, during the formation period of
their lives, being so much absent upon pubhc official business. She
never grew old in her feelings but ever entered into the sports of her
children with a zest which carried them with her, in the object for
which she considered such pastimes should be indulged in, though a
dignity was always maintained in the most familiar recreations, which
tended to elevate. The wants of the needy received her kindly
attention, and oy her benevolence and uniform efforts she did much
to enhance the comfort and happiness of others. For nearly fifty
years she was an exemplary member of the Congregational church in
Bennington, and died confidently trusting in the Christian's hope.
Henry Davis was b. at Groton, Mass., Oct. 17, 1758 ; m,,at Little
ton, Feb. 12, 1782, and d. Feb. 9, 1842. He was a farmer and
settled at Rockingham and d. at Grafton. At the breaking out of
the Revolutionary war, when under seventeen years of age, he enlisted
in Col. Reed's N. H. regiment, and was in the battle of Bunker
Hill under Col. Stark at the line of rail fence from which the enemy
were repeatedly repulsed with great loss. He served in the army
over three years, and was at West Point at the time of Arnold's
treasonable attempts to surrender it to the enemy. His wife, Mary
Tuttle, was b. at Littleton, Mass., Aug. 24, 1 755 ; m., Feb. 1 2, 1 782,
and d. in Grafton, Vt., April 12, 1849, in the 94th year of her age.
The boyhood and youth of Hiland Hall was spent on his father's
farm in Bennington His early education was principally obtained
in the common schools of his neighborhood. He studied law and
was admitted to the bar in 1819, and established himself in practice
in his native town, which he represented in State Assembly in 1827.
In 1828 he was clerk of the Supreme and County Courts for Ben
nington County, and the year following was elected State Attorney
for the county, and re-elected the two succeeding years. In
1833 he was elected to Congress for the Southern district of Ver
mont, and represented the district for ten years, receiving five differ
ent elections, his congressional service ending March, 1843, he having
declined being a candidate for another term. He was a working
rather than a talking member, though several of his speeches were
published and circulated by his pohtical associates. He was noted
for his active work in committees, for his thorough examination of
claims on the government, and while chairman of the committee of

revolutionary claims he acquired special distinction by his successful
exposure of the unfounded and fraudulent character of claims for
several millions of dollars from the State of Virginia, thereby putting
an end to their further allowance. After his retirement from Con
gress he was for three years State Bank Commissioner, and four years
judge of the Supreme Court. In 1850 he was appointed second
comptroller ofthe U. S. Treasury, and in 1851, went to California,
by appointment of the President as commissioner to adjust land
claims in that newly acquired territory under the provisions of the
treaty with Mexico, and remained in California till the spring of
1854. While in Congress he acted with the Whig party, and he
was one of the delegates from Vermont to the Philadelphia convention
of 1856, which made the republican party national, by nominating a
candidate for the presidency. In 1858 he was elected govenor of Ver
mont, and re-elected tbe succeeding year, when he retired from
public life ; serving only afterwards as a delegate to the abortive
" Peace Congress ", assembled at Washington in the winter of 1861
by request of the State of Virginia. Gov. Hall has always taken a
deep interest in American history and especially that connected with
his State. He was for several years president of the Vermont His
torical Society ; has been active in preparing its collections for
publication and in otherwise promoting its usefulness. He has read
several historical papers at the meetings of the society which have
been published, and has been a contributor to the Vermont and also
to the New York Historical Magazines, to the Philadelphia Historical
Record and to the N. E. Historical Genealogical Register. In
i860 he read before the New York Historical Society, a paper
showing "why the early inhabitants of Vermont disclaimed the juris
diction of New York and established a separate government." He
is the authorof the early history of Vermont, a work of 500 pages
published in 1868, by J. Munsell, Albany, in which the controversy
of its inhabitants with the colonial and State governments of New
York, and their valuable revolutionary services are very fully treated.
The honorary degree of L.L. D. has been conferred on him by the
University of Vermont. He is a member and vice-president of the
N. E. Historical Genealogical Society, honorary member of the
Buffalo, and corresponding member of the New York Historical
Societies. His residence, when not in public life, has always been
in Bennington. Gov. Hall has furnished most ofthe materials for
this genealogy of the Halls of Middletown, and otherwise very
much encouraged its compiler. Children were all born in Bennington.

72 Hall Genealogy.

HALLS OF FAIRFIELD, CONN.
The emigrant ancestor was
{Family I.) Francis Hall'. He was the son of Gilbert Hall,
who hved in the county of Kent, in the south-east part of England;
some claim that he lived in the town of Rolvendue, but the records
of that place have been searched without finding the name of either
father or son.
Francis Hall and his brother William came from Milford, county
of Surrey, in the ship with Rev. Henry' Whitefield and his party of
emigrants from Kent and Surrey.
William and many others signed a plantation covenant during their
passage, and located at Guilford, Conn. (See the Halls of Guilford.)
The party arrived at what is now New Haven in time to participate
in the meeting of colonists held in Newman's barn on 'the 4th of
June, 1639. In 1640 Francis Hall joined Mr. Ludlow in the enter-
prize of planting a settlement at the head of a small inlet of Long
Island Sound, which they named Fairfield. Mr. Hall was at this
period thirty-two years of age, and had a wife Elizabeth, and two
sons, Isaac and Samuel, who were born in England. His wife died
in 1662, probably in Fairfield ; and he married, Oct. 30, 1665,
Dorothy, the widow of John Blakeman, and the daughter of Rev.
Henry Smith, of Stratford, Conn., who survived him. Mr. Hall
seems to have been a man of some property, as he brought over with
him a small stock of hardware, and carpenter's toolsj and farming im
plements for trade. Mr. Hall like Mr. Whitefield and many other
emigrants, was a member of the church of England, but on his
arrival in this country, as was usual, he adopted the Congregational
method of worship.
He may have Uved in New London for a short time, as appears
from the following record : " It is ordered May 7, 1663, that Francis
Hall shall have fwo poles of land in New London, by the water
side, if it be there." In° 1669 he held the office of constable in
Stratford ; and was a " Deputa " from Stratford to the General Court
held in Hartford, May 11, 1676. It is also recorded of him as
follows : "May 11, 1671, this court grants Francis Hall a release

Halls of Fairfeld. 73
for the cattle forfeited to the county by judgment of the County
Court of Fayrefield, Nov., 1670, save only 30,?. he hath paid on that
account." It appears that he had a large landed property in Fair
field and also' in Stratford, where he died in 1690, ae. 82 years. His
wife Dorothy survived him, and also the following named children :
I. Isaac, b. in England (Family 2). 2. Samuel, b. in England
(Family 3). 3. Elizabeth. 4. Hannah, m., July 14, 1675, Joseph
Blakeman of Stratford. 5. Mary. 6. Rebeccah.

of Kent, and came from Milford, county of Surrey ,"Eng., with his
father, and d. in Fairfield, Conn., 17 14, in the 85th year of his age,-
m., about 1660, Lydia  , who survived him. It is believed that
he obtained his majority in New Haven, probably while there at
school. He studied medicine, and settled in Fairfield where he
became an eminent surgeon and physician. He rendered service as
surgeon in the Colonial Militia during the Indian wars, for which
he received a grant of land in the township of Fairfield by the
General Court. He had previously received in i66o,;a^large estate
from his father in Fairfield. He took the oath of fidelity to the
Colonial Government in 1659. He was probably a proprietor of
Wallingford in 1670. His children which survived him were:
I. Isaac, b. Sept., 1665 (Family 4). 2. Francis. 3. John ;
and several dauthers whose names are not known.
(Family 3.) Samuel Hall% Francis' : b. in England about 1635;

in practice. He died in Reading, Conn., Aug., 1767, perhaps 1757,
in the 92d year of his age. Children were :

was from Durham, Conn., and afterwards of Newton. Asbury
Hall removed with his father, in 1808, from Newton to Whitehall,
Washington Co., N. Y., where he purchased a farm near the village.
In 1813, he raised a company of " Minute Men " for the defence of
the northern frontier. In 18 14, he went as captain of a company of
artillery to resist the British at Plattsburgh. In 1846, he removed
to Verona, Oneida Co., N. Y., and in 1848, to Aurelius, Cayuga
Co., N. Y., where he died. While in infancy Asbury was baptized
by Bishop Seabury at his mother's request, who was a devout church
woman, and she instructed him in the commandments, and catechism,
the creed, and the general principles, and doctrines of the Christian
religion. His mind being thus imbued in early youth, he retained
an unfaltering faith in them to the end of his life ; and he was
always regarded by his acquaintances as an honest and upright man.
He obtained a very good English education in the common schools
previous to the age of sixteen. In 18 15, he united with his neighors
in establishing an Union Library Association which furnished sub
stantial reading matter to occupy their attention during leisure hours.
In after years he considered the part he took in establishing this
library as one of the most useful acts of his life. Mr. Hall was often
chosen to town offices, but he was never ambitious in that way.
The sorrow occasioned by the death of his wife, added to the in
firmities of old age, made him often express the wish to be relieved
from bodily suffering and join her in the other world. He died with
an unfaltering hope of a happy immortality. His remains were
interred beside those of his wife in the Fort Hill cemetery, at Auburn,
where they await the resurrection of the dead. Children were :
I. Benjamin Franklin, b. July 25, 1814 (Family 16). 2. Henry

1814; m., 1843, ¦'^^h Farnham, dau. of John I. Hagaman, of the
county of Seneca, N. Y. During the same year he united with the
Episcopal church in Auburn, where he continues to reside. Mr.
Hall commenced the study of law when twenty years of age, in
Judge John H. Parker's office in Whitehall, having had good ad
vantages at school previously. In 1735, he was received into the
office of Seward & Beardsley, at Auburn, N. Y., and the next year
became a partner in the firm. In the same year he received the
honorary degree of A. M. from Geneva college. Two years after-

wards he was licensed to practice in the highest courts of the State,
and in 1840, in the United States Court. Not long afterwards he
formed a partnership with John P. Hurlbert, of Auburn. In the di
vision of professional labor between the partners, Mr. Hall took
upon himself the equity branch of it, from choice, and made it a
specialty, and was distinguished for his industry. In 1844, he re
presented his county in the Legislature, where he introduced a bill
and ably advocated it, to submit to the people the question of ap
pointing a Constitutional Convention which he deemed very essential
to effect a modification of the courts and to disolve the Court of
Chancery. To carry this measure was his chief motive for permit-
ing himself to become a member of Legislature. His object was
achieved in the convention of 1846. Mr. Hall wrote and pubhshed
several treatises of merit on the inherited and statutory titles to lands.
In 1850, he was appointed by Pres. Taylor, through Maj. Bliss' in
fluence (who was Mr. Hall's old school mate in Whitehall), to super
sede Gen. Lewis Cass, as Resident Minister at Rome. And the
papers were made in readiness, when the president died, and they
were not dehvered to Mr. Hall, by his successor. But President
Filmore appointed him to a more ardurous if not more honorable
labor. It was that of collecting and compihng in volumes with
proper indices the official decisions of the several attorney generals
of the United States from its foundation. This work Mr. Hall
performed to the satisfaction of all concerned, and produced the
results in six large volumes. Attorney General Crittenden reports
to the president his opinion of the labor of Mr. Hall as follows, " Sir :
I have carefully examined the six vols, prepared for the press by
your direction, by my assistant, Mr. Hall, of New York. As many
of the decisions rescued by him from the ravages of time and moths,
and put into form were only brief endorsements by their authors.
Mr. Hall has been obliged many times in the course of his
labors to put his pen into dead men's hands in order to indict
traditions worth preserving. He found it necessary not only
to supply language when it was wanting, but to frame the
decisions of Randolph, Bradford, Lee, Lincoln, and Breckenridge,
almost, if not entirely anew. He has made the text of all the
decisions intelligible and clear, and prefaced each with . a valu
able synopsis, which not only required care and attention, but
also thought and a thorough understanding of the points decide'd. I
have only to add that in my opinion the work has been executed
remarkably well. No one but a lawyer and scholar accustomed to

Halls of Fairfield. 79
digest in his mind the details of administrative history, and of public
questions and cases could have executed it at all." Mr. Seward also
said in the Senate, " In the entire range of my personal acquaintance I
know of no other man who could have performed that service for
government as he has performed it. He has wrought a marvel. He has
revived men and made them speak. He has reduced the misty tradi
tions of administration to comprehensible words. He deserves the
gratitude of the officials in charge of every department of the govern
ment." After Mr. Hall's return to Auburn he was elected its mayor ;
became a director ofthe Southern Central Railroad Co. ; vestryman in
St. Peter's church. Auburn ; trustee of a beautiful rural cemetery pro
jected by himself on the site of the noted cabin of the famous Indian
Sachem Logan, on an eminence in the suburbs of Auburn called
Fort Hill. He wrote a law book on the Land Laws ofthe Western
States, and another on the Jurisprudence of Insanity ; and two histories,
one, the History of the Colonization of British America, and the other,
the History of the Republican Party in the United States, which com
pleted the number of twelve books, of which he was the author.
He was also the editor of the Daily Republicau Journal, in Auburn,
styled " The Union " during two years preceding the election of
President Lincoln. The next and most prominent incident in Mr.
Hall's life was his appointment by President Lincoln in the spring of
1861 to the office of chief justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado.
Colorado had been erected into a territory during the winter of 1861,
through the influence of Stephen A. Douglass, to prevent it from
falling into the hands of the confederacy, in case of civil war, which
was expected. Col. William Gilpin of the army was appointed
governor of the new territory, and was requested to proceed with
Judge Hall to the place assigned them without delay ; they went in
April; the United States Fort Garland was under the command of
Maj. Sibley, afterwards Gen. Sibley of the rebel army, and as soon
as Gov. Gilpin came into the territory, Maj. Sibley passed out of it
into Texas, with as many officers and soldiers as he could persuade
to go with him. He recruited in Texas and was in command of an
army of about 800 men. He sent recruiting officers also into
Colorado, who secretly, mostly in the night, obtained many enlist
ments. Gov. Gilpin being aware of their movements ordered his
marshal in Denver to construct a strong prison in that city, and then
obtain a posse of loyal men and imprison the recruiting officer and as
many of his men as he could find in arms. The marshal succeeded
in capturing and imprisoning one of the recruiting officers, Capt. Joel

McKee and fifty of his men in one night. This raised a great com
motion among the secession sympathizing population which were
very numerous in the city and in the territory. And they formed a
plan to apply to Judge Hall who was holding a court in the city for
a habeas corpus, not doubting that it must be granted since Congress
had not yet suspended that right of the citizens, and as soon as the
prison door was]open to bring any one of the men before the court the
outside friends would avail themselves of this opportunity to rush
upon the sheriff and release all the prisoners. But Judge Hall was
adequate to the occasion ; and decided that as the history of the
" Habeas corpus act " showed that it was intended to leave its sus
pension to the judiciary, as in the application for any other suit at
law, in case the judge should deem it necessary, as in the case of
rebellion or invasion, he therefore declined to grant a writ of habeas
corpus for Joel McKee, this was Oct. 14, 1861. This position
which Judge Hall took was a surprise to both friend and foe, but
it saved the territory of Colorado to the Union, and the city of
Denver from destruction. This position of Judge Hall was vindicated
at the time in a book written for that purpose by Horace Binney of
Philadelphia. The day Judge Hall retired from the bench the
lawyers held a meeting in his court room, and framed an address of
thanks, containing the following passages, and had it recorded in the
minutes of the court. " The results of your administration of the law
here for nearly four years fully vindicate your policy ahd judgment.
It devolved upon you when you came here to lay the foundation of
a future civilization and to erect upon it the edifice of a systematic
and enlightened judiciary. That you have succeeded in this to a
remarkable extent, the records of this court attest. You leave behind
you the evidence of unusual foresight, untiring industry, great legal
ability, purity of intention and of an inflexible purpose to be faithful to
your trust." And the Denver Commonwealth said : " Chief Justice
Hall carries with him the best wishes of the best portion of this com
munity to his new field of labor. A few of the lawyers and specu
lators complained of some of his early decisions before they under
stood his judicial policy. But ever since they comprehended his
ideas in respect to our lands they have approved it. We think we
are warranted in stating that at no period of his administration here
has there been a single voice lifted up against his legal ability, patience,
patriotism and purity. He has been an industrious, patient, politic,
able and upright judge. By those whose ante-territorial ranche and
mining titles have been upheld and confirmed by his decisions as

Halls of Fairfield. 81
against the rapacity of jumpers and speculators he will long be regarded
as a public benefactor. In the early part of the yeai 1864, Judge
Hall was appointed by President Lincoln, consul to Valparaiso, when
he resigned his office of chief justice in the expectation of going there.
But before he was able to find a vessel or steamer which was going
down to that distant Pacific port in the face of the pirates then
sweeping the southern seas. President Lincoln was assassinated and
Secretary Seward and his son Frederick, his assistant, nearly killed,
and instead of going to that post of duty at all, he, at the request of
the wounded sesretary, went into the State department a while to
superintend the bureau having charge of our commercial relations.
Since 1868, Judge Hall has been a private citizen of Auburn, enjoy

nearly all of the material for this line of Halls, and other valuable

Addition to the Halls of Fairfield.
[From Qeo. E. HaU, of Cleveland, Ohio.]
It appears from the Genealogical Dictionary of the Pioneers of
New England, that Francis Hall, the emigrant, and his son Samuel
took the oath of fidelity in New Haven in 1657, and that his son

84 -f/tf// Genealogy.
Isaac took the same oath there in 1659. He lived both before
and afterwards in Stratford, and how much time he lived in New
Haven is uncertain, perhaps it is not certain that he ever Hved in
Fairfield, although he had large estates in that town.
His son Dr. Isaac Hall received, in 1697, a grant of 150 acres of
land, to be located in Fairfield, on account of services in the war ;
this grant was located by his sons after his decease, at a place called
Chestnut ridge, near the upper end of Fairfield township, and near
the road to Danbury. Isaac settled upon his share where he died.
Francis and John sold out to Moses Knapp, in 1722, who settled
upon it.
Children of Dr. Isaac, to whom he gives by will in 17 14, were :
I. Francis. 2. Isaac. 3. John. 4. Jonathan.
Samuel Hall% Francis", was probably older than his brother
Isaac. He resided in Stratford, where his name is on the property
record from 1674 to 1687 ; he probably lived also for some time in
Fairfield ; he died 1694, and gave by will to his widow  , and
sons Samuel and Isaac.
Samuels, Samuel% Francis", was of Stratford in 1755, and of
Fairfield 1 764, where he died ; gave by will to his widow Rebecca,
and children Nathaniel, David, Sarah, Mabel, Rebecca, Ebenezer,
and Abbott. David of Fairfield deeded to his brother Abbott of
Stratford in 1752 ; had a daughter baptized 1760, Maritia. Ebenezer
son of Samuel, died Jan., 1799, gave to children Seth, Esther,
Daniel, Esther, and Mary m. Isaac Silliman, ancestor of Prof.
Silliinan of Yale College.

HALLS OF WALLINGFORD, CONN.
[Are mostly compiled from the History of Wallingford.]
The emigrant was
{Family i.) John Hall": b. about 1605 ; d. in the early part of
1676, ae. 71 years; he made an oral will; m. Jean or Jane Woolen.
She had lived with William Wilkes in Boston, and probably came
over with him, as he paid her fare and gave her £3 a year for her
services in his family for five years, also promised her £10 as a gift
when she should marry ; but this he did not do, and Mr. Hall ob
tained it from his estate by litigation, an account of which is found
on the records of New Haven, in which she is called good wife
Hall. Mr. Wilkes was in Boston in 1633, and removed with
his family to New Haven with the first settlers in 1639. John
Hall may also have come from Boston. His autograph signature is
found on the Colonial Records of New Haven (page 4) in 1639.
His name appears often on those records, mostly in reference to sev
eral pieces of land. He was freed from training in 1665, being then
in his 6oth year of age. Three or four of his sons joined a com
pany and settled Walhngford in 1670. And the father went with
them at that time or soon after. He was selectman in 1675. Few
families have been more respectable than the descendants of John
and Jean (Woolen) Hall. Her connections in England have a coat
of arms. The names of their children were ;
I. John, baptised August 9, 1646 (Family 2). 2. Sarah, bap
tised August 9, 1646 ; m., December, 1664, Wingle Johnson.
3. Richard, b. July 11, 1645 (Family 3). 4. Samuel, b. May 21,
1646 (Family 4). 5. Daniel, b. about 1647 or 8 (Family 5). 6.
Thomas, b. March 25, 1649 (Family 6). 7. Jonathan, b. April 5,
1651 (Family 7). 8. David, b. March 17, 1^52 (Family 8).
Among the original proprietors of Wallingford were John Hall,
David Hall and Doctor Hall. This Doctor Hall was probably Isaac
the son of Francis Hall, of Fairfield, who resided some time in New
Haven, but did not settle in Wallingford.
Among those who signed the covenant of the first planters, Nov.

31, 1669, and then proceeded to locate a place for the village, were
Thomas Hall, Samuel Hall and John Hall.
After the village was settled certain wood and meadow lands were
assigned to each of the 36 families, among whom were those of
Samuel Hall, John Hall and Thomas Hall.
At a meeting held Feb. 15; 1675, a committee was appointed to
secure the organization of a church. Among the names were John
Hall, Sen , and John Hall, Jr.
The town of Wallingford appointed, April 4, 1689, a committee
of five to make out a call upon Rev. Mr. Whittelsey to come and
settle as pastor, among the names were John Hall, Sen., Samuel
Hall and John Hall. The committee offer to purchase an acre and
a half of Deac. John Hall's home lot for Mr Whittelsey to
build upon.
In 1689 the head of the plain, now Meriden, was laid out for a
village 80 rods long, and building lots staked out ; these lots were
drawn by raffle, one by each planter in Wallingford ; among the
names were those of Thomas Hall, Samuel Hall, John Hall, Sen.,
and David Hall.
In 1679 the town of Wallingford granted to David Hall, Thomas
Hall and others, three acres each, lying on the east side of the
meadow and swamp, called Dog's Misery. In 1707 the town chose
David Hall and two others a committee to see that the misery high
way was not pinched of the 20 rods in any place, from the town to
misery. In 1696, a protest was signed disapproving of making expense for
the town in settling a dispute between Yale and Royce about a
watering place, among the signers were Jonn Hall, Jr., David Hall,
Thomas Hall, Sen. ; but lieutenant, Samuel Hall, dissented.

science, or from any of those things which tease the mind in this life.
2. No pain in heaven arising from fear oi future evil.
3. No pain firom fear of losing happiness or pleasure in the presence of the Redeemer
4. No pain arising from bodily disorders.
5. There will be no cause of pain, as there will be no sin, and no curse.
6. There will be no need of pain to embitter sin, to mortify remaining corruption ; to
brighten graces ; to convince of the vanity of earthly pleasures, and enjoyments ; to remind
of mortality; and to reconcile us to death. Reflections.
I. Advantages of saints in heaven over those on earth.
2. This should make us patient under trials, while looking for and expecting the happy
exchange. 3. The importance of being of that happy number, contrast the two states beyond this
world, 4. The subject teaches to moderate our grief at the loss of Christian friends; and make
it our concern to be ready to follow them.

His widow wrote his very pathetic epitaph, as found on the origrnai ¦
tablet covering his grave. He graduated at Yale 1747; studied <>
medicine ; and in 1752 located himself at Midway or Saulisbury, "^
Georgia. Having earnestly and zealously espoused the cause of his
country in the struggle with the mother country during the Revolu
tion, his efforts contributed much to induce the people of Georgia to
join the confederacy. In May, 1775, and at four succeeding annual

elections, Dr. Hall was chosen as Representative to Congress from
Georgia. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, which was passed by Congress and signed by its members
July 4, 1776. When the British had possession of Georgia they
confiscated all of Dr. Hall's property ; and after their expulsion he
was elected Governor of the State in 1783. The following is the
inscription engraved upon the white marble slab placed over the
grave of Lyman Hall :
" Beneath this «tone rests the remains of the
Hon. Lyman Hall,
Formerly Governor of this State, who departed this life the 19th of October, 1790, in the
67th year of his age.
In the cause of America he was uniformly a patriot.
In the incumbent duties of a husband and a father he acquitted himself with affection
and tenderness.
But, reader, above all, know, from this inscription, that he left this probationary scene
as a true christian and an honest man.
To those so mourned in death, so loved in life.
The childless parent, and the widowed wife.
With tears inscribes this monumental stone.
That holds his ashes and expects her own.*'
This original tablet was transferred from Georgia to Wallingford,
Conn., and the immense gathering of the people from the neighbor
ing towns, July 5, 1858, at the ceremonies at its reception, showed
the deep interest which was felt in the occasion.
Mr. Yeatman, of New Haven, the orator of the day, whose dis
course was compact and brilliant, took occasion to give some
details of the life and character of Mr. Hall, and of his service to
his country at a period when the possibility of her national indepen
dence was surrounded with doubts and difficulties which required
unwearying effort and perseverance to overcome.
Gov. Holley also gave an address in the grave-yard ; in the center
of which had been prepared a reception to place the tablet upon,
described as follows :
Upon a mound of earth, handsomely turfed, is "a large, flat free
stone, which is nearly nine feet long, by six feet wide i upon this
rests a very large block of freestone, nearly three feet high, with
rounded corners and handsome mouldings, on the fourth side of
which is this inscription :
/'The State of Georgia having removed to Augusta the remains of Lyman Hall, a
signer ofthe Declaration of Independence, and there erected a monument to his memory,
the tablet originally covering his grave was in 1857, presented by Wm. D'Antignac to this
State, by whose order it is deposited in his native town."

b. Nov. 28, '793, dau. of Andrew Hall, (Family 124) and widow

ness of peddling tin ware and* Yankee notions in Penn., Va. and
Tenn.; afterwards he opened a store in Walhngford, seUing dry
goods and groceries ; and in 1827 commenced the manufacture of
britannia spoons. In 1834 he went into partnership with Walter
Martin for the purpose of manufacturing wooden screws, and lost
$9,000, all he had. This disheartened him for some time, when a
friend in New York gave him seven pounds of German silver and
told him to begin life again, which he did in 1857, fortning a partner
ship with William Elton. They were the first successful manufac
turers of German silver ware in this country. He was one of the
original"members of the Baptist church in Wallingford, 1817, and
soon after was chosen one of its deacons, and was an earnest and
gifted man in this office, and a chief pillar in the church, and a man
universally respected. He was quiet and unassuming, and was in.
clined to put the best construction upon the acts of others, and lost
by it in business. There is a good likeness and a biographical sketch
of him in the History of Wallingford. He had seven children, of
whom two were living in 1870, viz.: Aimer I. and Jane A,, wife of
D. W. Fields, of Wallingford.

mathics. At the age of 25 he became assistant of the Harvard Ob
servatory, Mass., and in 1816 was appointed assistant in the Naval
Observatory at Washington, D. C. In 1863 he was promoted to a
professorship in the same observatory, which he still holds (1881).
On the night of Aug. 11, 1877, he discovered one of the satelites
of Mars, and on the night of the 17th he discovered the other — the
inner one. This happy discovery will connect the name of Prof.
Asaph Hall with the moons of Mars as long as the science of as
tronomy exists. In 1879 he received the honorary degree of A. M.
from Harvard University, and that of LL.D. from Yale College
and from Cambridge University, England.

post master general ; when Fillmore was about to retire from his
office knowing the fitness of Mr. Hall for the judicial office he
nominated him for District Judge of the United States Court in
Western New York, which the Senate confirmed. In this office
Mr. Hall performed an immense amount of labor satisfactorilv until
his death. The size of the district has since been greatly diminished ;
he was one of the most able and amiable of men, which with a
manly presence rendered him evidently one of nature's noblemen.

[The following notes are taken from the History of Wallingford.]
Dec. 1766, a committee was appointed by the First Society of
Wallingford, consisting of Benjamin Hall, 2d, Ehhu Hall, Peter
Hall, and others, to confer- with the Wells Society, and try to settle
the controversy.
In 1758, on a committee ofthe minority in the Dana controversy
were John Hall, 2d, Eleakim Hall, Street Hall, and others.
In 1758, it was voted that Major Elihu Hall, Capt. Samuel Hall,
Esq., and others, be a committee to invite a candidate to preach in
Wallingford. In 1686, the town chose Col. Street Hall as agent to remonstrate
against the petition of Meriden village to be set off as a separate
town by General Assembly.
In 1794, the parish of Meriden petioned the town of Walhngford
to be set off as a distinct town, and appointed a committee of five to
transact the business, of which Brenton Hall was one.
In 1793, Col. Street Hall was appointed a committee, with two
others, to settle the boundery between Wallingford and Berlin at the
Belcher farm.
In 1803, a committee from the parish of Meriden, consisting of
Eliakim Hall, Brenton Hall, and others, was appointed to confer
with a committee from Wallingford, consisting of Aaron Hall,

HALLS OF PORTSMOUTH, R. L
The emigrant ancestor was
{Family I.) William Hall'. On the 8th day of the 8th month
in 1638, the name of William Hall was one of a list of 59 persons
admitted inhabitants of an island on the coast of Rhode Island, now
called Aqueedunk. In 1639 William Hall was an inhabitant of New
port, R. I. And on the 27th day of the 5th month, in 1644, a parcel of
land in Portsmouth, R. I., was granted to William Hall by the
town. His name was on the list of freemen of Portsmouth in 1655.
William Hall sold, on the 6th day af the 7th month,, 1654, to Rich
ard Sisson, of Portsmouth, 1-300 of an island called Canonocut
and 1—300 of Dutch Island. William Hall was commissioner to
General Court from Portsmouth in 1654, 56, 60 and 63. And he
was Deputy from Portsmouth to General Assembly in 1665, 66, 67,
68, 72 and .73. In 1673 he was appointed on a committee for the
purpose of treating with the Indians about drunkenness, and to seri
ously council them, and agree of some way to prevent extreme ex
cess of Indian drunkenness. Five chiefs are named, among whom
is the name of the famous Philip of Mount Hope, called King
Philip, with whom the committee should treat.
There may be same foundation for the following statement by the
late James Usher, genealogist of 9 Murray street. New York.
He says , " We have the transatlantic trace of William Hall, cler
gyman. He is believed to be the same William Hall who was a
writer in London, and continued the ' Fab you Chronical' began by
Sir Thomas More. And there is reason to believe a connection
existed between William Hall and the Lord Chancelor's family.
(See an article in an early number of Harper's Magazine, by Mrs.
Hall, of Chelsea Church, England.) William Hall, of London, went
out of record there in 1638, the same year that William Hall began
record in Portsmouth. Thomas Clement, a connection of the
Mores, was an original founder of Portsmouth, R. I., and was a
neighbor of William Hall, and the administrator of his estate,"
Mr. Usher emblazoned a coat of arms which he knew or supposed
to belong to William Hall, for Theo. C. Hall, of 174 Lexington
avenue, New York, who is a descendant of William Hall, of Ports-

mouth. It consists of three Talbot's heads, Chivron in black
ground, and the crest a Griffin's head, az.
Mrs. Mary Clapp, of East Greenwich, R. I., a lady of over 80
years of age, and a descendant of William Hall, informs me of a
tradition in the family that " William Hall was one of five brothers
who came over, one of whom sf;ttled at Exter, R. I."
William Hall made his will on the 20th day of the nth month?
1673, which was probated on the 19th day of the 2d month in 1676.
No mention is made in it of Thomas Clement. But he says " I do
ordain, substitute and appoint my truly and well beloved friend and
yoke fellow, Mary, my wife, to be my whole and sole executrix, into
whose hands and possession I do give and bequeath my whole estate
during her life, and, considering the weakness of my said wife, I do
appoint my two younger sons, viz.: William and Benjamin, to be
assistants to their mother in the managing of whatever business she
shall have need of during her life; and after her decease, I do hereby
give power to my above named two sons to see my will performed
as following, that is to say : after the decease of the last of us,
either me or my wife, my will is that my son Zurill Hall shall have
and enjoy that twenty acres of land whereon his dwelling house now
stands. Next, my mind and will is that my son Benjamin Hall shall
have my new dwelling house and land thereto adjoining ; and, further,
my will is that my three sons, Zurill, William and Benjamin, shall
have all my land in the Narragansett which I purchased of Thomas
Lawton, to be equally divided between them. And, further, I do
give and bequeath unto my son Benjamin my cart horse, with my
cart and plow, and the tackling thereto belonging ; and as for the re
mainder of my estate, together with that which I have lent to my son
William, shall be divided into four equal parts, viz.: one-fourth
thereof to my son William ; one-fourth part to my daugh
ter Elizabeth ; one-fourth part to my daughter Rebeecka, and the
other fourth part to my daughter Deliverance." Thus we gather
the names af the children of William Hall :
I. Zurill (Family 2). 2. William (Family 3). 3. Benjamin
(Family 4). 4. Ehzabeth. 5. Rebecka. 6. Deliverance.

1 5 2 Hall Genealogy.

HALLS OF DOVER, N. H.
[Compiled mostly from newspaper articles furnished by Rev. Dr. Quint.]
The emigrant ancestor was
{Family I.) John Hall": b. in England, 1617. Tradition ^ays
he was brother to Ralph Hall, of Exter, and that another brother
lived near Boston. John Hall and his wife, Elizabeth, appear first
on the church records of Charlestown, Mass., at the baptism of
their son John in 1645, and he and his family have been mistaken
for that John Hall and his family who removed from Charlestown to
Barnstable in 1640. This John Hall removed from Charlestown to
Dover, N. H., in 1648 or 9, as his name appears on the tax list of
Dover dated March 18, 1648-9, and was continued until 1677, after
which the lists were destroyed. His name appears on the records
often as buying or receiving grants of land. In 1677 Deacon Hall
received a lot of 20 acres on the west side of Back river, the same
which was laid out to George Webb in 1642, as his successor, John.
Hall, was the earliest deacon of the first church of Dover, as early
as 1655. He was a deacon, perhaps, in the days of good Parson
Maud. Certainly through the ministries of Reyner and into that of
Parson Pike. He was lot layer as early as 1657 and as late as
1674. He was occasionally " commissioner to end small causes,"
and was selectman in 1660. He was grand juror in 1663, 6 and 8.
He was one of a committee of three to call the selectmen to ac-"
count, 1657 and 1666. In 1658, 9 he was one of three to lay out
the town bounds between Lamprey and Newichawannock Rivers,
and to run the northern boundary. In 1663 he and Lieut. Ralph Hall
were to lay out a highway from Lamprey River to the water side.
He was for a series of years " clerk of ye writs" for the court.
His signatures as such is found in 1663, 68, 69 and 71. He was
chosen town clerk 1670. His signature appears as such in 1675
and 1679. He had the town records in custody in 1665, 6. The
date of his birth or death is not given. A deposition makes him
born about 1617. In Feb. i, 1685, 6, being in perfect health but
aged, he gives to his son Ralph half of his house and land, &c., the
other half also to go to Ralph after his death. This paper was
proved May 4, 1692, and recorded Feb. 1694, 5. It would appear

Halls of Dover. 1 5-3
that he died before these dates, that is before May 4, 1692, or at
least before Feb. 16, 1694, 5. John Hall hved on Dover Neck in
1652, next to the meeting house lot on the south-westerly side. This
lot appears to have reache 1 the river and embraced a large spring,
still flowing, called " Hall's spring," and on the higher land near it
was found, in 1852, the relics of an ancient cellar. He may have
been called John Hall, Jr., as there were two others living in the
town by the same name. Children were :
I. John, bapt., 1645, '" Charlestown, Mass. (Family 2). 2.
Elizabeth, bapt., 1647, Charlestown ; d. in infancy. 3. Elizabeth,
bapt., 1648, Charlestown; d. in infancy. 4. .Nathaniel, taxed 1680
(Family 3). 5. Ralph (Family 4). 6. Grace, b. May 16, 1663,4;
this is all we know of her.
{Family 2. ,1 John Hall', John' : b. in Charlestown, 1645. Re
ceived bountv money with his father and thirteen others for killing
a wolf in 1663. John Hall, Jr., was a witness, Feb. 8, 1664, 5, to
a deed from Thomas Beard to Parson John Reyner. In 1675 he
bought land ofthe town committee. He was on tax list of the Prov
ince in 1680. He lived on Dover Neck, Dec. 6, 1693 ; he gave
bonds as tavern keeper ; his sureties being Job Clements and Kingsley
Hall. He probab^ had land of his father, and received several
other grants of land from the town, and from his wife's father.
John Hall was Representative of Dover in the New Hampshire
Legislature, and was sworn in Nov. i, 1694, May 15, 1695, and
Sept. 16, 1696. He died while a member. Parson Pike's Journal
says, April 28, 1697, " John Hall, Sen., was drowned coming up the
river in a little float, near Green-point." His estate was returned by
Ralph Hall and John Tuttle at £104 i8,f, od, Feb. i, 1700. His
sons Thomas and Joseph were appointed administrators Dec. 3,
1700 ; their mother, Abigail Downs, having declined tbe trust. The
administrators, with their mother Abigail, conveyed to Samuel Emer
son, Dec. 18, 1700, for £25, the thirty acres granted their father by
the tovtn in 1693, 4, west of Back river. John Hall married, Nov.
8, 1 67 1, Abigail, dau. of John and Abigail (Nutter) Roberts. John
Roberts was son of the emigrant Thomas Roberts, and Abigail was
daughter of Elder Hatevil Nutter. John Hall's widow m., Oct.
24, 1698, Thomas Downs, of Cochecho, who was killed by the
Indians in 1 71 1. Children of John and Abigail Hall were :
I. John, b. June 37, 1673 (Family 5). 2. Thomas, b. June 19,
1675 (Family 6). 3. Joseph, b. Feb. 24, 1679, 80. 4. Hatevil,
(Family 7). 5. Sarah, she conveyed land Jan. 9, 1718, 19, (which

had been conveyed to her father in 1693, 4) to Richard Rook, or
Rookes, of Dover, for Jioo; she m. Richard Goodwin and had
children baptised in Dover as follows: i. Elizabeth, bapt. Oct. 15,
1721 ; ii. Richard, bapt. April 19, 1724; iii. Hannah, bapt. Aug. 7-
1726. 6. Mary, m.  Sanders of the island of Nantucket. It
is barely possible that the above named Mary and Sarah were daugh
ters of John Halls, and were granddaughters of John Hall', the
tavern keeper. They both made quit claim to land in Dover in
1730. {Family 3.) Nathaniel Hall', John': his name appears on the
Province tax lists of 1680 and 81, also on a list of petitioners for
military defence, Feb. 20, 15H9, 90. He had a grant of ten acres
at the head of his 20 acre lot west of Back river, and it would
seem that the deacon's Back river property went to him. Nathaniel
and his wife, Hannah, of Dover, conveyed, Nov. 16, 1696, for
£36, to Nathaniel Meader, of Oyster Bay, 30 acres of land "granted
mv deceased father. Deacon John Hall," and ten acres on Back
river. This is all we know of Nathaniel Hall.
{Family 4.) Ralph Hall', John' : Deacon John Hall deeded or
conveyed to his son Ralph Hall, Feb. i, 1685, 6, one-half of his
Dover Neck homestead, the other half- to be his pn the decease of
the deacon. July 11, 1694, he had a grant of 20 acres on Fresh
Creek. This land was lost with numbers of other grants there in a
law suit with Richard Waldron, who claimed by prior grant. The
town sjave lands elsewhere to all the sufferers or their heirs. Ralph
received £10 for quit claim of Richard and Elizabeth (wife; Pink-
ham of a lot of 'i,\ acres once the " house lot of our grand
father Thomas Leighton." Ralph Hall was auditor in 1702 and
constable in 1705. Pike's Journal says, Nov. 13, 1706: "Ralph
Hall, Sen., of Dover, deceased, after six days illness with grevious
pain in his side together with the fever." He must have married
twice. The name of his first wife is not ascertained. He married,
2d, May 26, 1701, y^/ary, dau. of Philip Chesley ; in 1713 she,
with her sister Esther, wife of John Hall, gave quit claim deed of
their father's home plantation at Oyster river for £45. But Mary
married again and as wife of John Foy, Feb. 26, 1717, 18, quit
claimed to John Hall, evidently son of Ralph Hall by a former wife,
all her "right in lands that my former husband, Ralph Hall, left me."
Sons of Ralph Hall, John and James, were appointed administrators
March 4, 1706, 7. The estate was divided between seven sons, a

double portion being given to the eldest, and £15 reserved for Jona
than, who was a weak and sick child. Names of sons were :
I. John (Family 9). 2. James. (Family 10). 3 Jonathan,
sickly and weak child. 4. Isaac, said by tradition to have moved to
Massachuetts. And by second wife : 5. Benjamin, b. June, 1702.
(Family 11). 6. Ralph (Family 12). 7. Joseph, b. Match 26,

Third Generation.
{Family 5.) John Hall', John*, John': b. June 27, 1673 ; resi
dence Dover, in the part called Oyster river ; m. Elizabeth. John
Hall, " eldest son and heir " of John Hall, deceased, with Elizabeth
his wife and his mother Abigail, conveyed, Aug. 3, 1698, to John
Tuttle ten acres of land (then in possession of said Tuttle), for
merly belonging to grandfather. Deacon Hall, being west of the road
to Cochecho, the purchase of June 8, 1675. Dec. 10, 1700, his
younger brothers Thomas and Joseph were appointed to administer
on th ir father's estate, and no allusion to him is made ; nor in any
subsequent transaction on record. Probably he was dead at this
time. It is possible that Sarah Hall who married a Meader, and Mary
Hall who married a Sanders, mentioned in account of his father, were
his children. " Widow Elizabeth Hall, of Dover," married Sept. 7,
1705, Benjamin Pierce from Watertown, Mass., and had : i. Ben
jamin Pierce, b. 1707 ; ii. Joseph Pierce, b. 1709. She d. and
Benjamin Pierce m., 2d, 17 14, Hannah Ash and had seven more
children, all on the Dover records.
One child of John and Elizabeth Hall is recorded viz : Sarah, b.
July 25, 1696.
There was a John Hall (whose pedigree we cannot trace) who
had a wife Sarah and lived at Oyster river about this time, and had :
John, b. Dec. 17, 1720 And a Sarah was bapt. March 6, 1720.
{Family 6.) Thomas Hall', John', John' : b. June 19, 1675 ;
d. in or before 1732; residence Oyster river, Dover. He was ad
ministrator with brother Joseph on estate of their father, Dec. 10,
10, 1700. He and brother Joseph owned the privilege ofthe second
falls on the Cochecho. These two also took quit claim May 11,
1730, from Richard and Sarah (Hall) Goodwin, and also apparently
from Mary (Hall) Sanders, Jan. i, 1727. They also conveyed to
John Horn, March 20, 1726, 7, for £ 54, one-half of 100 acres
near Reyner's brook, " granted our father John Hall ; " and the other

half June 29, 1728, for & 54, to the same. It was granted by the
town April 2, 1694. Thomas Hall conveyed, Dec. 29, 1726,10
John Horn of Dover one third of a right in Rochester, having a
good title of " inheritance." His son James of Dover, conveyed to
John Hall of Dover, April 20, 1722, all his interest in 20 acres
which had belonged to his fafher Thomas. And Joseph, son of
Thomas, conveyed to the same his interest in the same land April
22, 1728, specifying it as " granted to my father Thomas Hall, being
20 acres of land at y' Brook above y° head of Jonathan Woodman's
land," both these deeds were recorded in 1735." James the eldest son
of Thomas refused to administer on his fathers estate, Sept. 2, 1732
(his mother Mary had previously refused), and desired that his brother
Thomas be appointed. Children were:
I, James (Family 14). 2. Thomas (Family 15). 3. Joseph
(Family 16).

Austin one-half of ten acres granted to Dea. Hall west of the road to
Cochecho and north of Joseph Beard's land. Children ware:

to his nephew, Joseph Hall.

Hester jumped from the upper story of her father's house with a
babe in her arms at Durham Falls, «she'n most of the other members
were killed by the Indians in 1694. There are records of many
conveyances of land by John Hall, among which are the following,
viz. : Of the Dover Neck property, he with wife Esther conveyed
to Thomas Kenny, of Dover, June 26, 1716, rights in calves pasture,

Capt. Wiggin to Thomas Leighton ; the other piece was at the place

{Family 50.) Sarah Hall*, Joseph', Joseph", Ralphs, Ralph',

came to Dover from one of the West India Islands ; he was a good
man, full of Christian hope, genial, afFectionate, and upright ; he was
a deacon in the Congregational church of Dover, N. H., and was
universally esteemed and loved. Dea. Quint died Oct., 1878, of
heart disease very suddenly while sitting in his easy chair, in the
evening after attending to his business all day as usual and apparently
as well as usual ; his wife Sarah died four years previously ; they
had an only child, Alonzo Hall, who with his wife and five children
was living with his father in Dover at the time of his father's death.
Alonzo H. Quint^ studied theology at Andover Theological Semi
nary, and was a resident graduate in that seminary, 1852, when he
commenced a correspondence with me on the subject of my line of
Halls, the Halls of Medford, inquiring for information which I had
obtained from the original records of Medford, Cambridge and Con
cord ; he afterwards contributed information on the subject to Rev.
Mr. Brooks the author of the History of Medford. He became
extensively known as a genealogist, and consequently has been
troubled with too many letters of inquiry for information. Dr.
Quint published some twenty years ago four generations of the
descendants of Dea. John Hall of Dover, and also of Ralph Hall, of

Halls of Dover. 171
Exeter, and subsequently reviewed those ot Dea. John Hall and pub
lished the result in one of the Dover papers ; and these publications
which he very kindly sent me have constituted the greater portion of
what is presented of these two lines of Halls in this genealogy. Rev.
Dr. Quint was a chaplin in tbe war for the Union ; he has been
settled as pastor of several churches in Massachusetts which he has
served with great acceptance. And he is acknowledged to be one
of the ripest scholars in theology, and one of the most distinguished
leaders in the Congregational denomination. Several years ago he
sufFered from a bronchial hemorrhage, and retired to the old home
stead in Dover for rest.

HALLS OF EXETER, N. H.
[Compiled almost entirely from newspaper articles furnished by Rev. Dr. A. H. Quint, of
Dover, N, H.]
The emigrant ancestor was
(Family i.) Ralph Hall', b. in England in 1619, and was living
in 1690 ; the records of Exeter show that he was there from 1639
to 1645, and again permanently after 1664. He was in Dover,
from 1650 to 1664, and was probably in Charlestown, Mass.,
from 1645 to 1650 ; records of sales of land in Charlestown,
by Ralph Hall and his wife Mary, are as follows : mortgaged
land on the " Mystic side " to Thomas Gardiner, of Roxbury,
which he had purchased of Thomas Burton ; sold twenty acres
on Mystic side July 15, 1648, 9 ; he conveyed sixty acres of land in
Charlestowr, Feb. 2, 1649, to Richard Cook, of that place. Ralph
Hall and Mary his wife, sold land on the Mystic side, Jan. 25,
1648, 9, which did "anciently" belong to John Hall and Richard
Kittle. John Hall of Charlestown had lot No. 48 on the Mystic
side in 1633. What John Hall was this ? While RaJph Hall lived in
Dover, he was honored with the rank of lieutenant and became com
missioner of small causes ; selectman, etc. His premises on Dover
Neck he sold Oct. 19, 1664, to John Reyner, "sometime teacher
at Dover ; " he was delegate from Exeter to the first New Hamp

Congress ; in 1784 and 5, he was member of N. H. Senate, and in
the later year its president ; In 1788, he was delegate to the con
vention which framed the constitution of the United States. In
March, 1788, he was elected representative in N. H. Legislature and
speaker of the house ; but took the office of governor to which
he was simultaneously chosen; in Nov., 1788, he was elected a mem
ber ofthe senate ofthe United States, and became tbe first presiding
officer of that body. He was re elected senator in 1794; later in
life he was nominated for vice-president of the United States ; but
declined on account of advanced age ; from 1801 to 1805, he was
representative in N. H. Legislature; in 1804 and 5, was speaker;
and from 1805 to 1810, and 1810 to 1811, was governorof New
Hampshire ; the degree of LL.D., was given him by Dartmouth
College in 1805. He died at Portsmouth, Sept. 18, 1819. Of his
patriotism the following speaks emphatically : "In one of the darkest
periods ofthe revolution, when our means were small, the Provincial
legislature was in session in Exeter, the resources of the country were
at the lowest ebb, despair was on every mind when John Langdon
arose in that assembly and made this remarkable speech : ' I have
two thousand dollars in specie, I will pledge my plate for as much
more, I have eighty hogsheads of Tobago rum which will be sold
for the service of the State. The country shall have it all, if we
succeed in estabhshing our liberty I shall be repaid ; if not property
is of no value,' such a proposition reanimated every one ; called
hope back to all, and and the governor said : 'We can now raise a
New Hampshire regiment, and my friend John Stark can command
it.' The regiment was raised and fought the battle of Bennington.
This success was the turning point which resulted in gaining our
liberty." {Family 13.) Samuel Hall", Josiah', Kingsley', Ralph" : b.

Hall was brought up behind the counter, except the enjoyment of a
few months at school at Andover. He went to Camden, Me, in
1809 ; was early interested in military affairs, became colonel and
in the war of 1812, had the command of a detachment of 30 men.
The parapets upon Eaton's and Jacobs Point were erected under
his supervision ; was deputy sherifF of Lincoln and Hancock coun
ties, and first sheriff of Waldo county, which 'he organized in
1827. In 1830, was post master at Camden ; in 1833, was elected
to Congress, and again in 1835 ; in 18^7, was again post master at
Camden ; from 1838 to 1846 was measurer in the custom house,
Boston; when unsolicited, his friend and former associate in Congress,
President Polk, conferred upon him the office of navy agent for the
post of Boston; in 1849, being removed by President Taylor on
political grounds, he received the entire vote of his party for mayor
of Boston. Failing of being elected, he retired to his farm in Cam
den ; where in the bosom of his family he enjoyed a quiet rest, and
extended its graceful hospitalities to his numerous friends. But in
1857, upon the election of Buchannan, he was again appointed
weigher, guager and measurer in the Boston custom house, which
position he retained until removed by the hand of di^ath. Col. Hall,
was a democrat of the old school, and cherished an ardent love for the
union ofthe States; endowed by nature with great physical power,
and possessing a vigorous and well balanced intellect he evinced an
ability commensurate to all the stations which he was called to fill ;
hence all of his official acts, and particularly his course while in the
Federal Congress, were marked by that good sense and judgment
which never failed him, his course was especially commended by
President Jackson. His private life was almost without reproach.
His reputation for honesty was proverbial, hence though rich in the
possession of a good conscience he was comparatively poor in worldly
goods. But he lived not for himself alone, the generous sympathy
of his great heart embraced the world, and his bestowment of favors
was limited only by his means. His last brief and painful illness he
bore with patience and fortitude. He died like a Christian with un
wavering faith in Him who doeth all things well ; contented, unre-
pining and resigned, he bid a cheerful adieu to all the attachments of

Halls of Yarmouth. 211

HALLS OF YARMOUTH, MASS.
The emigrant ancestor was
{Family I.) John Hall", He came from Coventry, Warwick
shire, England, in 1630, to Charlestown, Mass,, probably in the
fleet with Gov. Winthrop. Coventry is about 95 miles north-west
from London. It is not known whether he had a family then or
not. He was then probably about 21 years of age. His name is
No. 19 on the list of church members of the first church of Charles-
toivn at it its organization, July 30, 1630. There was then no
church in Boston ; but in 1632,. a majority of its members being on
that side of Charles river, they caused its removal, and it became the
first church of Boston, The remembers remaining organized a church
in Charlestown, Nov, 2, 1632, consisting of 16 men and their wives
and three unmarried men. Among this number were John Hall
and his wife Bethia. John Hall had lot No, 48 in 1633, He was made
freeman May 14, 1634. There is but little doubt that he resided in
Barnstable in 1640; he was recorded as able to bear arms in 1643
and Mr, Paine, the historian of Harwich, Mass,, said that John Hall
was an inhabitant of Barnstable after 1647, and that he was a resi
dent of Yarmouth in 1653, Barnstable and Yarmouth joined each
other and were both incorporated as towns in 1639, That part
of Yarmouth where John Hall lived was set off as a separate town
in 1793, ^"'^ named E ennis.
Josiah S. Hall, one of the descendants of John Hall now (1880)
owns and lives upon the old homestead in Dennis, and says he thinks
that John Hall moved on to it in 1641. Perhaps it might have
been at that time claimed as a part of Barnstable. Josiah S. Hall,
who has furnished me with a good deal of information, also says,
" The Halls have occupied a position as good citizens, and I have
never heard of any of them being guilty of a crime that would make
any one who bore the name to blush. The emigrant ancestor was
a man of character, though not much in office."
The probability is that several of John Hall's kindred came to
this country from Warwickshire, England. It is the tradition in
Sutton that a brother, with his family, came with him in the same

212 Hall Genealogy.
ship, and that this brother was the grandfather of Deacon Percival
Hall, of Suton, who appears by the history of Sutton to have been
the chief means of procuring the settlement of one of John Hall's
descendants as the pastor of the church of Sutton, viz: the Rev.
Dr. David Hall, from Yarmouth.
The relationship between the Halls of Yarmouth and the Halls
of Medford is claimed also by their descendants who settled in Gran
ville, N. Y.
There are two marriages recorded in the N. E. H. G. Reg.,
which may have reference to this line of Halls. The first is in vol.
2, p. "John Hall of Warwickshire, Eng., married the youngest
daughter of John Farmer, of Ansley, Warwickshire, John Far
mer died 1669." The other is in vol. i, p. 26. "  Pease mar
ried John Hall, of Warwickshire."
As to the number of children had by John Hall, of Yarmouth,
it is believed that he had twelve sons, although we have the names
of only ten. But Rev. Dr. David Hall said that he had twelve
sons, of whom he had seen seven.
Arunah Hall, of New Lebanon, N. H,, when he was 85 years
old, in 1864, said that he had often heard his father say that his emi
grant ancestor had twelve sons and no daughters.
Five of these sons were very probably the children of his wife
Bethia, but we find a record of only two. They are among the
baptisms in Chariestown. John, son of John and Bethia Hall, 13,
3, 1638 ; Shebar, son of John and Bethia Hall, 9, 12, 1639. The
children baptized in Yarmouth, beginning with Joseph, were the
sons of John and Elizabeth Hall.
John Hall made his will July 15, 1694, in which he mentions
eight sons. His will was probated Aug. 29, 1696; he died July
23, 1696, and was buried on his farm. The names of his children
were :
I. Samuel, the date of his birth is not known, but probably it
was before the birth of John, and there might have been two others
born before 1637, of whom no mention is made, Samuel m. Eliza
beth Pollard, of Barnstable ; after his death she m., 2d, April 27,
1699, Nathaniel Jones. Samuel Hall made his will Oct. 7, 1693,
and died Jan. 20, 1694, he had no children, but willed his ,
property to his widow and his seven brothers, viz : John, Joseph,
Nathaniel, Gershom, William, Benjamin and Elisha, 2. John,

Yarmouth, but it is not certain ; he removed to Mansfield, Conn.,
Aug. 20, 1694, then a part of Windham ; Windham was began to
be settled in 1686. Joseph Hall was the first one of the brothers to
go to Mansfield; the land there was laid out in 1694, and incorpora
ted as a separate town in 1703 ; the charter was given to 14 persons,
and the three brothers, Joseph Hall, Benjamin Hall and William
Hall, were respectively No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 on the list. In

church in Tolland county, and was established by Rev. Eleazer
Williams, son of Rev, John Williams, who was killed by the Indi
ans in Deerfield ; Joseph Hall was chosen deacon, but this disigna-
tion is not put on his grave stone in Dennis ; (there is no grave stone
in Mansfield earlier than 1749) ; he was the first town clerk of Mans
field, and continued in office until his death ; the place which he

It appears from the records that he sometimes acted as a minister of
the gospel ; the town of Chatham, Mass., voted, in 1703, to give
him £26 for preaching for that town one year ; he complied with
their request, and also preached in that town again in 1706, and per
haps for several other years , he also received a salary for preaching
in Harwich ; his residence in Harwich is pointed out as near what is
now known as Hall's meadow. To his s'on Jonathan he gave his
homestead and other property ; to his son Samuel he gave a good

preach for three months ; voted, Nov. 26, to raise £69 for the sup
port of the gospel in Sutton ; voted that Mr. David Hall should
continue to preach until March next ; Feb. 10, voted that Mr.
Hall should continue to preach in the pulpit until the middle of May
next, with a view to his settlement with us ;" such settlement was
agreed upon and he was ordained as pastor of Sutton Oct. 15, 1729,
and continued in office until his death, nearly sixty years ; he " was
venerated in life and lamented in death ;" there has been a monu
ment erected to his memory by the people of his charge in Sutton ;
Rev! Dr, David Hall was a man of noble bearing, intellectual vigor
and fervent piety ; he was several times called to settle over other
more prominent places, but he preferred to remain in Sutton, where
the people loved and honored him, and to whom he was strongly at
tached ; he was an intimate friend and admirer of Rev. Dr. Jona
than Edwards, and they were united in opposing those who rejected
the revivals of that period, and also in opposing those whose ex
travagances brought those revivals into disrepute. Dr. David Hall
was one of the candidates for the presidency of Princeton college,
N, J., at the time Dr. Jonathan Edwards was elected to that office.
Dr. Hall's ministry was a useful as well as a long one; the people
were well united and were built np; the number added during his
minstry was 459 ; his salary was to be £100, "at the present value
of paper money ;" this led to continual trouble ; it was often diffi
cult to ascertain how much was his due ; the town also gave him a
deed in fee simple of 130 acres of land and materials for building his

ofthe necessary hardships to which it would subject his wife. This
was before he was married, but he was engaged to be married. How
ever, his intended bride settled the business by telling him that if he
did not go, she would not marry him. Of course, he went, and
after he had cleared it up, he sold it, and bought another farm of
300 acres further back from the river. He was a soldier in the
revolutionary war, and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne, at
Saratoga. He was captain of militia. Children were :

She was then an orphan of only 15 years of age. She d, Feb, ai,
1843, *• 7^ years. Mr. Hall received a good early education. In
the month of May, 1776, he procured enlisting orders from Lt. E.
F. Payne, of the Randolph, of Charlestown, S. C, a protection ship
of 20 guns. Payne had promised Hall a lieutenancy in the marine
department if he would enlist 15 men for the sea service at Charles
ton. Mr. Hall soon succeeded in enlisting in Barnstable Co., 29
men and a boy. After suitable preparations had been made he set
sail in the Eagle a ship of 20 guns, from Stonington harbor in the
month of June. They met with success at first capturing three
prizes, two of which were conveyed by Payne to Boston, but the
paisoners on board the other overpowered the crew, and sailed to
Glasgow, Scotland, where Lt. Hall was imprisoned, on being released
April, 1777, he made his way home through Ireland, Barbadoes and
Virginia, to Philadelphia, and to Yarmouth with a very sad experience,
Feb. 22, 1778, Mr. Hall soon after corrimenced the study of law
at Barnstable, in the office of Mr. Shearjashub Bourne. In 1782,
he removed to Vermont, and settled in Westminister, where he was
secretary pro, tem., of the State Council that year. He was chosen
in 1789, 1791, 1792, 1808, to represent the town in the general
assembly. With Paul Brigham, Samuel Hitchcock and Lemuel
Chipman, he was appointed a presidential elector by the general
assembly in 1792, and with his colleagues cast the vote of the
State for George Washington and John Adams. By an act of
general assembly, passed on the ist of Nov., 1800, incorporating
Middlebury College, he was constituted a fellow of that institution and
served in that capacity until his death. In 1799, he was a member
of the council of censors ; from 1794 to 180 1, he was a judge of the
Supreme Court ofthe State. He discharged the duties of this ofBce
with great fidelity and credit ; a charge which he delivered to the
grand jury of Windham county in 1798, was considered at the time
" as replete with sound principles and honorable to its author as a
politician, as a scholar, and as an ardent federalist," Dr. John A.
Graham obseived of Mr. Hall in 1797, " he fills the office of Su
preme Judge in such a manner as to reflect honor even on a more
important station ;" while on the bench his opinions were prepared
with deliberation, and his decisions were' ever based on justice and
right. His legal abilities were of a high order, and were well suited
to the times and people among whom he lived. His memory was
so wonderfully tenacious as to make him master of every subject he
heard or read and enabled him to recapitulate them without the

slightest hesitation, and illustrate whatever topic he might have
under consideration. This remarkable faculty, combined with an
extensive experience of men and things, and an affible disposition
rendered his conversation both agreeable and instructive. As a
friend, Mr, Hall was constant, confiding and generous ; as a citizen,
patriotic, public spirited, and liberal ; as a husband, obliging, affec
tionate, and gentle ; he was ever ready to assist the poor in their
misery, and the afflicted in their suffering ; nothing aroused more
fully his resentment than the oppression of the weak by the strong ;
his life was an active one, and his influence was extensively felt ;
while attending general assembly at Montpelier in the autumn of
1808, he was seized with a violent catarrhal affection which assumed
an incurable form and caused his death in the middle of the next

250 Hall Genealogy.
commenced the practice of medicine at Swanton Falls, Vt., in 1812 ;
removed to St. Albans in 1820; and to Burlington in 1842. He
was very enthusiastic in the pursuit of his professional laoors ; had a
peculiar aptitude in devising means to meet emergencies. As a
surgeon he was unusually successful. Dr. Hall wrote a good deal
on medical and other topics, but through diffidence only a few of his
articles were published ; among such might be mentioned his essay
on "Epidemic Erysipelas," and a long and able article on "Fevers
of the Champlain Valley," from the former of these works published
about the year 1843, and critically reviewed by the American Journal
of the medical sciences, our standard authors upon the subject of
erysipelas have liberally quoted both in this country and Great Britain,
evincing their appreciation of his skill as an observer as well as his
truthfulness as a theoretical writer. Such an honorable mention of
his " Word Spoken in Season " was not surmised in the slightest
degree by Dr. Hall while living ; for such was his extreme diflidence
in appearing before the public as a medical writer, that it was with
great difficulty he could be prevailed upon to publish the work from
which these quotations were made, and which has done such honor
to his memory as a medical observer. He was a member of the
Franklin Co and State Medical Societies of Vermont, the former of
which he joined in 1813 ; he was also an honored member of the
masonic fraternity. The doctor was considered a healthy man and
strictly temperate in his habits. During his residence in St. Albans
and Burlington, he wielded the pen unflinchingly in the cause of
temperance. He also delivered many lectures upon temperance,
some of which were published in the local papers of the two places.
Dr. HaO was a dignified though very genial man, erect in figure and
very muscular, full six feet in height, of florid complexion, and pos
sessing an energy in the pursuit of his professional duties seldom
met with. At the time of his death he was a member of the Pro
testant Episcopal church. The commencement of Dr. Hall's last
sickness was Nov. 25, 1847, and he died Dec. 3, 1847 at Burlington,
and was buried at St. Albans. In 1826, the late Prof. Dr. Edwin
Hall of Auburn, while a member of Middlebury College taught an
academy at St. Albans and boarded with Dr. Charles Hall but they

gray-blue eyes and florid complexion, intelligent and benevolent ;
his wife was a small slim woman of a darkish complexion ; their
daughters were splendid specimens of the brunette and the blond ;
the elder was teaching school and looked very learned and wise as
well as good, she gave me, at my request her Hall pedigree, with the
names of the children of each family in the direct line ; the other
was very much like her father, little did I then think that they would
pass away so soon. He was especially fond of Maria, and her loss
and the loss of his whole family aggravated his deep dejection which,
formerly came upon him occasionally, and in his sadness he found
no consolation in the blessed doctrine of a glorious immortality ,• ac
customed to investigate tbe things which are seen, he could not
believe in the unseen. To mitigate his grief in part, he married
again, and again she was taken from him by death ; a third time he
took a companion, and she died ; and last of all he too passed away.

and after about eight years he assumed the position of superintend
ent of the mill at Stafford Hollow, of which he was part owner,
but after a few years he sold out and assumed the duties of
agent of the stone mill at Rockville, from thence he removed to
South Willington, where he built, and equipped a factory for manu
facturing cotton wadding, which was afterwards changed into a thread
factory, having two partners ; afterwards he removed to Willimantic
and became superintendent of the new thread mill, which he con
ducted with such success, that the firm built another mill, the larg
est and best in the country, and tenement houses, all out of the
profits of the previous seven years. Mr. Hall then went again to
South Willington and formed a business partnership with his son
Gardner Hall, Jr., and his son-in-law, John Champlin, for the man
ufacture of cotton thread, and the firm succeeded in building up a
large and successful business. During Mr. Hall's residence in Wil

Hall was early taught the Westminster Catechism, which formed

the basis of his theological views and Christian teaching in his official
life; in i8ii,he began the study of Latin in company with his
brother Silas and life long friend Willis Hall ; they had the privi
lege of a select school in tbeir own district, winters, generally taught
by a college graduate, and during the summer of  , Edwin and
Willis walked two miles five days in a week to recite Latin to
Henry Slade, a law student, at Granville corners ; they commenced
the study of Virgil in 1 813, but during that year Edwin's father was
taken ill of a disease which proved fatal in three years ; during this
period Edwin acted as office clerk waiting upon him and his patients ;
in this office warmed by a stove he slept upon a buffalo skin studying
the most part of every night, all winter ; he thus read the whole of
Virgil's .iEneid, and as a very natural consequence was sick all next
summer. His father had designed to send him to Dartmouth College,
but on his death, plans were of necessity changed, therefore Edwin
abandoned study and went to work on the farm, left by his father,
which was to be his own; in 1818, he taught school in a back dis
trict of his native town at eight dollars a month ; the next year he
applied for a school in another back district at nine dollars a month,
but was refused as being too young ; he immediately started for
the west district uf the next town on the west, Hartford, and
made an engagement to teach there at eleven dollars a month,
half money and half corn ; in those districts school teachers
boarded gratuitously at the houses of the children ; this district
was the native place of Hosea Ballou, for a long time during tbe
first half of this century the great champion and oracle of Universalism
in New England ; here young Hall was constantly assailed with the
doctrine in the families where he boarded ; this led him to search
the Bible for the purpose of defending himself from such assaults;
for he was then, as ever afterwards ready to contend earnestly for
the faith in which he had early been instructed.
The next winter he taught school in Whitehall, twelve miles from
home, where he had two uncles ; there he had one hundred and
twenty-three scholars. After serving out his term of six months he
returned home and to work on the farm ; soon after which a revival
of rehgion commenced, of which he was a subject ; he was at once
active and zealous in persuading others to come to Christ ; but his pur
pose of making farming his life work was not unchanged, until Willis
Hall returned from his first year's study in Middlebury College and
18

found his friend Edwin over the hill, a mile frorri the house, with a
yoke of cattle drawing stone for a wall fence; here he laid it on
Edwin's conscience with earnest and convincing words that it was
his duty to enter at once upon a course of study in preparation for
the ministry. Here was an unconverted man preaching duty most
eloquently and successfully to a christian ; and, although it cost that
christian a great sacrifice, he yielded to the dictates of duty ; and in
three weeks they both set out together for Castleton Academy ;
Willis to prepare to enter as sophomore at Yale, and Edwin as fresh
man at Middlebury. They boarded and slept together; here they
were under the tuition of Mr. Howe, previously a tutor in Middle
bury College, an accomplished teacher, who had some twenty stu
dents preparing for college ; of these eight took the valedictory or
highest honor at different colleges ; four at Middlebury, two of
whom were Edwi:i Hall and his cousin John M. Parker, afterward
Judge of the Supreme Court of New York ; two at Yale, Willis
Hall and Rev. Dr. Henry A. Boardman, of Philadelphia; one at
Williams, and one at the University of Vermont. Rev, Dr. Co-
nant, the famous Bible translator, was also one of Mr. Howe's stu
dents at this time. At the close of the school year Edwin Hall
passed the best examination, and out of all the brilliant galaxy of his
associate students was honored with the valedictory oration. During
the year he had worked two months at home in harvest, and in the
remaining ten months he had read the whole of Virgil, thirteen ora
tions of Cicero, the Graca Minora, the whole of the Greek testa
ment and two books of Homer, and was ready at examination to
recite any part of it as fluently as his spelling book. This is beyond
the power of any. to do except prodigies of genius. In 1822, at
the age of 20 years, he entered Middlebury College. The same
zeal and amazing capacity for successful study followed him there.
He not only mastered the studies in the college course, but also
studied French, German, Spanish, Hebrew and extra mathematics.
His linguistic genius displayed itself in reading a book in Italian
without grammar or dictionary. But his zeal consumed him. He
suffered a profuse bleeding of the lungs ; he then gave up whatever
he did not regard as essential to the work of the ministry. Half of
his freshman year he spent at Castleton in assisting Mr. Howe in
the academy, at the same time studying more than his college course
required. His extra studies during the freshman year were Curtin's

Halls of Yarmouth. 275
History of Alexander in Greek, Herodotus; Longinus, Lucretius'
de Natura Puram, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Blair's Rhetoric
During his sophomore year he carried off the honors awarded to that
class. Towards the close of his junjor year he accepted an invita
tion to teach the academy at Norwalk, Conn,, at a salary of $450 a
year. Willis Hall had recommended his friend Edwin to be his suc
cessor as " the only scholar he could never beat, but who always
beat him," At this academy, besides teaching successfully the studies
preparatory to entering college, he also taught studies entirely new to
him, which he of course had first to study up for himself. He also
fully kept up his college studies. It is not strange that at the end of
tbe second quarter he found his strength failing and sought to be
released by the trustees. To this they reluctantly consented. He
immediately returned to college, where his health suffered severely
during the remainder of the academic year. At the close of his
college course he received the highest honor of his class, some of
whom became eminent men, and one of them president of the Sen
ate of the United States. He prepared his valedictory oration and
it was accepted by the faculty. Being thus free for the vacation
allowed his class immediately preceding their graduation, and being
much in need of funds, he engaged to work on a farm at $14 a
month. But almost immediately he was seized, at Whitehall, with
hemorrhage of the lungs, brought very low, and on commencement
day was not expected to live. His oration was read by a classmate.
The older physicians pronounced his case hopeless, when we find
that he fell into the hands of a young physician, who bled him in
both arms tUl he fainted, and then nearly starved him. This, with
many like occurrences in his life, show his great stock of inherent
vitality. His oleeding continued by turns for nearly three months.
All hope of his being ever able to preach was abandoned by himself
and his friends ; but finding it necessary to do something to get bread^
he took the academy at St. Albans, Vt.; he was still unable to read
so much as one verse in the Bible aloud. His school, though at
first small, grew to be a large one. Before the end of the year,
however, he was appointed a tutor in Middlebury College, which he
accepted, and gave the entire instruction to the freshman class, hear
ing three recitations daily. During the year he spent at Middle
bury College as tutor, he pursued a course ot theological studies ac
cording to the syl^bus of Dr. Leonard Woods, Prof, of Theology

at Andover, also considerable Hebrew. And being examined by
Drs. Beman and Tucker, of Troy^ was licensed to preach the gos
pel by the Presbytery of Trov.
He then engaged the Middlebury Academy for two years, during
which time he preached almost every Sabbath mostly in destitute
churches for which he scarcely received twenty dollars. And he
received calls to several important pulpits in Vermont which he de
clined to accept. He purposed to go west, but before he was ready,
he accepted an invitation to preach as stated supply at Glens Falls
and Sandy Hill, N, Y., on the Hudson. His short ministry was
much blessed and attended with a revival, in which he was assisted by
young ministers from among his former associates. He and another
started on a missionary tour to Chester, thirty miles off, in what was
then a lumber region near the head of Lake George. On their way they
stopped at Caldwell, at the head ofthe lake, and county seat of Warren
county, where there was not a praying man nor any stated public
worship, the Methodists having been even stoned away. Mr. Hall
preached in the Court House which was filled with people, a revival
began and a church was organized. Mr. Hall afterwards often
visited and preached for this people, and when once going to the
place he was thrown from his horse and dragged with his foot in the
stirrup expecting every moment to be killed, but no man is immortal
until his work is done, he was rescued very providentially, but no
longer able to preach. Just then he accepted an invitation from the
Presbytery of Newark to teach their academy at Bloomfield. Here
his health improved and he often preached in New York and also in
the neighboring towns. Among his pupils in this school were Chief
Justice Whelpley, of New Jersey and Rev. Dr. M. W. Jacobus,
professor in Alleghany Theological Seminary and the author of notes
on the New Testament, and the last moderator of the Old School
General Assembly previous to its union with the New School. But
when Mr. Hall's time of service was ended and he wished to seek
for a pastorate and he was about to start for the west, he received an
invitation from his old friend Hon. Clark Bissell of Norwalk to
come there and preach as a candidate. He left Bloomfield for this
purpose March, 1832. The result was that he was soon unanimously
called to be the pastor of that ancient and important congregation and
was duly setried July 18, 1832. The old church and congregation
of Norwalk planted as far back as 1650 was one of the very oldest
largest and most respectable in the county and state. It had enjoyed

Halls of Yarmouth. 277
a succession of eminent pastors. This " Prime Antient Society "
(by which appellation it was known on its own records) had been
wont to have among its leaders, men, who were leaders elsewhere,
as statesman and jurists. At the time Dr. Hall was pastor, there
were several such, one of whom was Judge Bissell of the Supreme
Court, governor of the State and professor of law in Yale College.
He joined the church in May, 1837. Another was Thaddeus Betts
second only to Roger M. Sherman at that bar, if indeed he was second ;
he was elected to the senate of the United States in 1839 and had
become a communicant in Mr. Hall's church Nov., 1837. Another
was Thomas B. Butler afterwards chief justice of the State. He
was a friend to Mr. Hall and never failed to testify to the profit he
gained from his pastors preaching enforced by his life. He joined
the church later in life. Still another gifted man the Hon. O. S.
Ferry who sat ten years under Mr. Hall's preaching and became a
communicant, while yet in his early prime he was sent to the United
States senate, and died there during his second term. All these men
honored Mr. Hall and never hesitated to avow the satisfaction and
profit they derived from his ministrations. But if Mr. Hall had such
men at the summit as his parishioners he had also all gradations and
varieties to all of whom he made his ministrations, both profitable and
acceptable. His sermons were scriptural, instructive, fresh, plain, clear,
earnest, pointed and pithy, convincing and persuasive, and thus made
their way to the popular heart. In prayer he was simple, fervent,
devout and importunate. His forte was especially the opening out
of the scriptures in their endless relations and applications for the
guidance and conversion of perishing men, and the edification of
believers in Christian knowledge and holiness. He devoted special
attention to the thorough instruction of the young especially Sabbath
school teachers, injthe Bible and to indoctrinate them in the shorter
catechism. In this work he was very successful, as a result he
enjoyed special outpourings ot the Holy Spirit every third year of his
ministry which usually began in his classes of young people thus
instructed. In performing pastoral duties he neglected no house
or person on account of disagreeable circumstances ever adapt
ing himself to the humble and ignorant. He was tender and sympa
thizing with the afflicted and disconsolate.
He left more than a thousand written sermons, besides a large
number of plans and skeletons, as monuments of his diligence, to
which must be added a vastly greater number of unwritten discourses

278 Hall Genealogy.
and addresses whose only record is in the hearts and lives of those
who felt their power. He delivered many powerful discourses and
addresses, some of which were among the stirring printed tracts of
the time, and made himself powerfully felt in behalf of temperance
and education. It was a great ministry ; and great were its fruits ;
and many were its seals ; he united a large congregation when he
came, he left it still larger and no less united. No man can stay in
such a congregation twenty-three years with such results who is not
high above the average of his profession. He was generally calm in
his manner of speaking in the later period of his pastorate, owing to
the restraint which he felt necessary to impose upon himself in order
to avoid jvertasking his lungs ; his voice was loud and clear, but
not disagreeable to the ear ; his calmness of utterance was not owing
to any want of impassioned temperament, sometimes he would seem
to forget his self restraint and burst forth upon an audience in a
torrent, nay cataract of '' thoughts that breathe and words that burn."
On one occasion in the general association of Connecticut, he be
came thoroughly roused in view of indifference on the part of some
to what he and others deemed assaults on the very fundamentals of
the gospel. Rev. Dr. Hewit, himself, when at his best a prince
among orators, said, he had heard the greatest of the orators in the
English parliament and our own congress, and he had never heard
any higher eloquence than in this speech of Dr. Hall's. While at
Norwalk, Dr. Hall wrote and published three books ; one was a
history of the town with genealogies of families. Another was an
exposition of the law of baptism as respects mode and subjects, it
was written as a defense against the attacks of a baptist minister in
a neighboring congregation. The other was a defense against
" efforts made to proselyte his young people into other folds; on the
ground that the religious body to which they belonged was not a
true church and had no valid ministry, sacraments, or Christian
rites," the book is " The Puritans and their Principles." These books
became very popular and gave their author a high reputation as a
distinguished theologian and an expert and powerful controvertiona-
hst. He also distinguished himself in the trial concerning Dr.
Bushnell's book entitled " God in Christ." He stood high in his
ecclesiastical connection among his brethren, not as the result of
place, seeking or self-seeking, but it was the result of those qualities
which are sure to press their possessor to the front ; his great ability,
wisdom, judgment, candor^ consecration to his Masters cause,

quickly lifted him up to a place among the leaders to whom the
people and churches by a sort of instinct look up, and on whom they
lean as pillars.
Dr. Hall was pastor of the First Congregational church, Norwalk,
Conn., from 1832 to 1855, when he removed to Auburn, N. Y.,
in obedience to an earnest call from the board of commissioners of
Auburn Theological Seminary, and was inaugurated to the chair of
Christian Theology, June 20, 1855. He applied himself to his
work with characteristic thoroughness and fidelity. His classes were
taught to state the doctrines of revelation in the words of the church
symbols, and were drilled with unwearied patience in the citation of
scripture proofs. His annual examinations as well as the trials of
his students for licensure and ordination proved in these respects pe
culiarly satisfactory to the presbyteries. Within a few years after
entering on his work. Prof. Hall prepared and printed for the use of
his classes his " Digest of Studies and Lectures in Theology," an
admirable and extended sylabus, setting forth with great simplicity
and precision the connected truths of Divine revelation. This
work bas been translated into the Chinese tongue as the ground
work for theological instruction in China and Japan. In addition to
his digest Prof. Hall left in readiness for the press a controversional
treatise on metaphysics and outlines in natural theology. In the
class room he was punctual, strict and somewhat impatient of dull
ness or frivilous opposition, quick and sharp in reply, but genial,
familiar and always ready to encourage a manly independence in his
pupils. Towards the students, in their various difficulties and wants,
he displayed the warmest interest ; he taxed his ingenuity] and influ
ence to provide for their comfort. He had friends of large pecu
niary ability, on whom he did not hesitate to call for aid in their
behalf, and such was the confidence reposed in bis wisdom and in
tegrity that he never called in vain. Prof Hall kept his own mind
fresh by constant study, and was abreast of the progress of philo
sophical and theological science throughout the world. His piety,
the crowning grace of his character, was deep, tender and reveren
tial ; his religious addresses to the students were models of affec
tionate simplicity. Rev. Dr. Atwater, Prof, of Princeton Theo
logical Seminary, and an intimate friend of Prof. Hall, says of him ;
His great ability as a thinker, scholar and theologian, his eminent
fidelity, judgment, tact and success as a pastor, preacher, teacher and

28 o Hall Genealogy,
professor ; his inflexible adherence to truth ; his firm conscientious
ness and loyalty to his convictions, with catholic charity for those
in dissent from him, his exemplary purity of life and manners, coupled
with humble and serene hope in Christ, brightened to the last his path
way to the grave, where death itself dies ; these, and other traits, which
I need not specify, bound him fast in the friendship ofthe truest men
and servants of Christ, and made him a valient, trusted and influential
leader in the church. Prof. Hall served the seminary with such
strict fidelity that at the end of twenty years he had not failed to
meet his classes at every lesson. In November, 1875, he was af
fected with a slight paralytic shock, fiom which he so far recovered
as to continue giving instruction to his classes till the close of the
seminary year, May, 1876, after which he retired from the active
duties of the seminary, receiving the title of Emeritus Professor in
May, 1876. The only landed property he owned at his death was
a lot in the cemetery. On the 7th of September, 1877, he rode to the
cemetery and other places, with the two daughters of Dr. Edwards
Hall, to the eldest of whom he had committed just before, the youth
ful and more mature correspondence of his life long friend Willis
Hall. That evening he retired to rest as usual, but awoke at 10
o'clock with an oppression of the lungs. He was conscious that
the time of his end on earth had come, and rejoicing rather than
fearing, he gradually subsided into the repose of death. He ceased
to breath at 3 o'clock in the morning. It is remarkable that the
death of his friend Willis Hall was very similar to his own in its
cause and suddenness ; the time of their last hours being from 10 P.
m to 3 a. m. They both died in hope of everlasting life in Jesus
Christ. They both rest from their labors, and their works do fol
low them. Children were :

AprU 19, 1804; d. Sept. 10, 1871 ; m., Sept. 26, 1826, Emily
Walker, of Whiting, Vt., cousin to Lucy. Mr. Hall went to
Rochester in 1828, and became associated with Samuel Chipman in
the publication of a religious paper ; the next year he became con
nected with the Third Presbyterian church, and was one of the
earliest members; the record of the Sunday school showing that he
was an active and earnest worker ; he was the first secretary and
treasurer, and once or twice chosen superintendent. While en
gaged in printing he pursued theological studies, and fitted himself
for the avocation of a preacher, and in 1835 was ordained and be
came pastor of the Presbyterian church of Penfield. In February,
1840, he succeeded Rev. Mr. Mack as pastor of the Third church
of Rochester, and continued to hold that position, and a high place
in the affections of his congregation, and the respect of all christian
people, until the rime of his death. The church had suffered many
vicissitudes and many pastoral changes up to the period when he was

Halls of Yarmouth. 283
installed, but has steadily prospered from that time. No one was
more respected and esteemed as a man and a minisier; he was recog
nized as a large-hearted and liberal minded pastor, and his discourses
were characterized by great vigor of thought and tbe thoroughness
of their logic. Dr. Hall was very prominent in the labors which led
to the re-union of the two branches of the Presbyterian church ; in
the consumation of which he greatly rejoiced. His circle of ac
quaintances outside his own church and congregation was very large,
and all who knew him will mourn his loss as a wise and good man.
The funeral ceremonies were conducted by ministers of several de
nominations of christians on Tuesday afternoon. The sermon was
preached by Rev. Dr. John C. Lord, of Buffalo, from II Timothy,
iv., 7, " 1 have fought a good fight ; I have kept the faith." The
following are a few extracts from it : " Your late lamented pastor
possessed, in an eminent degree, that courage which enabled him to
lead rather than to follow public opinion, which led him to embrace
and defend a position independent of its popularity. Many a time
in this city has he stood almost, if not altogether, alone in opposition
to men and measures, with rare courage, resisting even tbe prevalent
feeling in his own congregation, while the event has ordinarily proved
his sagacity and increased his influence." Mr. Lord here probably
refers more particularly to Mr. Hall's opposition to Rev. Charles G.
Finney and his measures. Mr. Finney had held a protracted meet
ing in this church previous to Mr. Hall's settlement, the effect of
which was very great. And Mr. Hall's power, as well as courage,
is fully demonstrated by his success in opposing Mr. Finney's meas
ures in the very center of such influence. " Dr. Hall was abhor
rent of cant and pretentious claims to superior sanctity ; his flashing
eye and stern rebuke have often put to silence the ignorance of fool
ish men. A man of full statue himself, he loved manliness in others,
and always respected an opponent who met him with a constancy
and courage like his own. With an ardent temperament, and liable
to be greatly heated in debate, he cherished no resentments He
was placable, compassionate, a lover of good men, and a friend of
all. With the appearance at times of sternness, he had a most
genial nature ; he was a companionable and generous man, a fast
friend, and a heart and hand open as the day to melting charity." Dr.
Hall was a man who never shunned any conflict where truth and
righteousness were involved ; he did not stop to enquire as to the
abUity of his adversary or to the probable results of his antagonism.

284 Hall Genealogy.
He held firmly to the old Presbyterian maxim — " duties are ours,
events are God's." He was no dumb dog that could not bark ; he
was no careless watcher on the walls of Zion ; he blew the trumpet
of warning with no uncertain sound; and when he heard the in
quiry of the watchman, " What of the night .?" he ever replied with
cheerful confidence, " The morning cometh." If any man in wes
tern New York has steadily kept the faith without wavering, without
fear, without discomfiture, that man was Dr. Hall. He was, as a
debator, always influential, sometimes stormy, often eloquent ; in
the pulpit stern and logical, joining together his premises and his con
clusions by an iron chain which could not be broken."
[Extracts from the remarks of Rev. D. McLaran, of Caladonia, who knew Mr. Hall long
and well.]
" One of the admirable elements in Dr. Hall's character was his
sincerity ; he hated pretence. In all he did, all he promised, all he
thought, he was sincere. He was a plain, unpretending, upright,
true-hearted man. As a man, as a christian, as a minister of Christ,
as a sound theologian, as an able defender and expounder of the
truth, as a faithful preacher of the everlasting gospel, as a judicious,
sympathizing pastor. Dr. Hall was entitled to the confidence and
love of our race. Intellectually he was no ordinary man ; quick in
perception, and penetrating in discernment, he saw at a glance the
state of the question, and seldom failed to decide, with readiness and
correctness, on which side the truth lay. He was ingenious in the
detection of error, and successful in its refutation ; bold in proclaim
ing the truth and fearless in its defence. If he did not always have
his harness on, be had it always at hand, and could don it at will;
what, though like Saul's armor, it was large and heavy, he fitted it
well, and handled it with ease, and never better nor to more effect
than when his cause was most surrounded with difficulties, and his
opponent most strongly intrenched; it was the truth for which he
fought and not the defeat of an opponent ; it was the exposure of
error and tbe confounding of iniquity, and not the illumining of his
own name ; he loved the old truths and order and ways of the church ;
he loved them for their own sake and their Master's sake, and wholly
irrespective of popular suffrage ; he cared little for popular favor
whenever it placed itself ih competition to truth and righteousness.
Allow me to say, that after a quarter of a century acquaintance with
the subject of these remarks, and a long and extensive acquaintance

Halls of Yarmouth. 285
with the cultivated minds of eastern and western New York, I am
fully persuaded of the opinion that Albert G, Hall possessed one of
the finest intellects and kindest, truest spirits of our Empire State.''
[Extracts from the Presbyterian of Sept. 27, 1871.]
His mind was logical, his style terse and concise, with little rhetoric,
he was clear and definite in his statements, apt in iUustration and
forcible in his appeals. During his earher ministry the clearness and
the strength of his own convictions, with surrounding circumstances,
forced him into the arena of religious contest, though his position
was negative rather than positive ; of defence rather than of attack.
He was decidedly but intelligently conservative, firm as adamant in
adhering to his views of truth, and stood a rocky rampart, almost
alone, between his church and what he deemed dangerous errors.
And after the storms of feeling were over, the churches of this region
testified to his wisdom by returning to the truths and the methods,
to which he always had anchored. He once told me "threats and
bribes never moved me, but it was hard to bear the entreaties, and
the upbraidings of Christians whom I loved." No ordinary mind
could have withstood such a pressure.
[Extracts from the Tribute of a Friend, signed J. D. H.]
Dr. Hall was no ordinary man ; he was an intellectual giant, with
such mental integrity that logical deduction seemed of spontaneous
growth ; his vigorous virtue begat peculiarity of thought and in
flexibility of purpose, modest to a degree, he was nevertheless, a
positive character ; all truly great men are peculiar. No threats,
nor storms, nor blandishments could induce him to yeild an iota of
principle ; be was firm to the borders of self-sacrifice, in support of
his religious views and doctrines. His sermons were models of clear
thought, logical deductions, instructive theology and practical wisdom,
enforced by genuine pathos, many of thein were bold and original
in conception and design, and always self-sustained. When recently
he visited San Francisco the stern and honest orthodoxy of this
Christian minister in its simple purity drew crowds of eager auditors
from that heterogeneous popularion ; he said of himself, " I have
always tried to preach the gospel of Jesus, pure and simple, and
nothing else." He was always a genial and delightful companion ;
and a truer, safer friend never trod the earth, save only his Divine
Lord. It must not be imagined that he ever lacked the most
generous impulses of the soul, indeed his sympathies were so great.

and easily touched, that he had a peculiar dread of exhibiting emotion
lest he might be overcome and appear unmanly. At times apparent
indifference was the result of real deep seated tenderness pent up at
the fountain ; his large symetrical form contained a heart from which
streams of love flowed far beyond its boundaries ; his was a heart in
which children and childrens' children have often disported themselves
in childhoods own joyousness. A biography of his home life would
disclose elements of lovliness of character, depth of devotion, in
stances of discerning delicacy, that would surround his name with
golden beauty ; in his home life he shone with a luster of which the
world knew but little ; he was the most watchful, tender, self-
sacrificing, and far sighted parent, and grand parent. Children

N. Y. Mr. Hall was a skillful and beloved physician of Rochester.
The peculiar characteristics of his boyhood were filial love, benevo
lence and gratitude, and these traits grew and ripened with his growth,
until in manhood, they drew around him very many devoted friends.
He made a profession of his faith, and was admitted to his father's
church at the age of sixteen years. He possessed an unusually bright
and active mind, and spent his youth in the acquisition of those full
stores of knowledge which so eminently qualified him for future use
fulness. He graduated at Union College in 1850 and immediately
applied himself to the study of medicine, and received the degree of
M.D. at the New York Medical College, in 1854, and in the
spring of the same year opened an office for the practice of his pro
fession in Rochester and obtained full employment. He was highly
esteemed by the public, as well as by his professional brethren as a
learned and honorable physician. To his patients he was peculiarly
endeared as well by the tender sympathy he manifested, as by the
confidence which his skill inspired. He served nine months in the
war for the Union as surgeon of the 140th Reg, N, Y, Vols., and
wa« present doing duty at the Battle of Fredericksburgh. On the
25th of Feb., 1869, he was obliged to remain at home on account
of an attack of rheumatism, which was supposed to be slight ; the
disease however developed an inflammatory type, and from day to
day increased in severity until he died, in a little over one week. He
died in the fulness of his usefulness, and his loss was deeply felt.

294 Hall Genealogy.

THE POSTERITY OF W'd MARY HALL,
OF CAMBRIDGE AND CONCORD, MASS.
Widow Mary Hall, is first mentioned by William Wilcox of
Cambridge, in his will made 1653; '" which he bequeaths her 20
shillings, and to her son William and daughter Susan 10 shillings
each. She was a member in full communion of the church of Cambridge
when William Wilcox made his will, as he calls her " Sister Widow
Hall. And Rev. Mr. Mitchell in his new roll of members after the
church records were burned in 1658, makes mention of Widow
Mary Hall, as a member in full communion, and adds that her
children being of adult years when she was admitted, were not bap
tized, of whom two, John and Susanna have since been admitted to
the church of Concord.
In 1662 Widow Mary Hall received a grant of land from the town
of Cambridge.
Her son WiUiam having died in 1667, she petitioned the court to
order a division of his property for her benefit. It appears from the
papers found in the probate office at Cambridge, that she had as
signed her property to her son William in consideration of her sup
port during her life, and that she lived with him in Concord at the
time of his death.
The paper was found on an upper shelf, filed with several others
" No. 1 1-1688, 10-5, petition of Mary Hall of Concord, mother of
William, deceased." The 1688 might have been intended for 1668.
The paper seems to have been made by an attorney, but signed by
her own hand very plainly without any ornamentation, and giving
evidence that she was accustome.d to use her pen.
It is not known who her husband was, but tradition asserts that he
came with his family in the same ship with his brother John, to
Charlestown, Mass., in 1630, descendants of the two famihes, settled
in Sutton, Mass., and in Granville, N. Y., have claimed a relation
ship to each other. There is no name of Hall, on any of the early

Halls of Cambridge and Concord. 295
r
records of Massachusetts which gives any probability of being his,
except that of " Mr. Nathaniel Hall " to whom the town of Dor
chester assigned Sept.i, 1634, a lot of three acres which had been
previously assigned to Capt. Lovell, This is the only time that the
name of " Mr. Nathaniel Hall" is mentioned in any ofthe records.
The honorable prefix of Mr. (which was accorded to only a very
few) shows that he held a very respectable rank in society.
The names of the children of Widow Mary Hall appear to have
been as follows: i. John, b. about 1626 or 7 (See Halls of Med
ford). 2. Susanna, member of the church of Concord. 3. Wil
liam who lived in Concord in 1653, and m. there Oct, 14, 1758,
Sarah Merriam and d, March 10, 1667, leaving no children, 4,
Stephen, who lived in Concord : m., Dec. 3, 1663, and removed to
Stow (See Halls of Stow) ;-and it is somewhat probable that Isabel
Hall who m. Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, b. 1625, was the
dau, of Widow Mary Hall, Francis Whitmore was a kinsman to
Thomas Whitmore or Wetmore who m. Sarah, dau, of John Hall
of Middletown, Conn,
It is to be hoped that something more may be found in the records
ot Massachusetts, concerning Widow Mary Hall and Mr, Nathaniel
Hall, Perhaps something satisfactory might be found in the records
of Coventry, Warwickshire, England.
If any doubt should arise on examining the records of Coventry
concerning Widow Mary Hall or Mr. Nathaniel Hall having lived
there, tbe records of St. Edmuns Berry where William Wilcox came
from, and where Bishop Joseph Hall lived, might be examined with
a possibility of success.
The Hall family of Warwickshire is not as old a family as that of
Kent,

296 Hall Genealogy.

HALLS OF MEDFORD.
(PART FIRST.)
The emigrant ancestor was
{Family I.) John Hall', son of Widow Mary Hall, of Cambridge.
He was born in England, 1627 ; died in Medford, Mass., Oct, 18,
1701, se, 74 years ; m., April 2, 1656, Elizabeth, dau. of Percival
and Ellen Green, of Cambridge, John Hall took the oath of fidehty
in Middlesex Co,, 1652, and in the same year the town of Cambridge
apportioned to him 20 acres of church land in Billerica, He resided in
Concord, Mass,, several years previous to 1667 when he returned to
Cambridge, and in 1675 removed to Medford, about eight miles from
Boston, where he purchased a farm of Caleb Hobert, June 27, 1675,
and gave a mortgage on it the same day for ,£260, and which he paid
May 2, 168 1,
The records of Medford begin in 1674, but very little is written
before 1677, when John Hall was chosen constable and selectman,
which at that time were the most important offices of the town.
Dea. Thomas Willis and John Hall were chosen selectmen,
March 12, 1690. In 1699 John Hall made his will, dividing his
large landed estate between hia sons, who were to pay his daughter's
portions in money, and his widow Elizabeth had rights reserved for
her during her life, and had the use of a portion of the house and
cellar; Stephen and Thomas had the house and land near it; the
house was situated a few rods east of, the railroad depot in West
Medford, and was demolished many years ago, and the old cellar
filled up in 1876; Daniel A. Gleason who married a descendant of
John Hall, owns a house and lot in Medford near where the old
house stood.
In the old burying ground in Medford, is a thick slate grave
stone about as wide as it is high, and arched at the top, in the
arch is a death's head, under which stands an hour glass, flanked by
two winged figures ; at ons of the upper corners is written " Me
mento Mori," at the other " Fugit bora," and on the body of the
stone is engraved as follows :

Halls of Medford {Part First). 297
" Here lies the body of John Hall, aged 74 years,
Di«d the i8th of Oct., 1701.
The memory ofthe Just is blessed."
By the side of this stone is another on which is engraved " In
memory of Elizabeth, wife of John Hall, who died Feb. 4, 1713, in
the 74th year of her age."
And on the other side of the first mentioned stone is a smaller one
" In memory of William Hall aged 19 years who died Jah. 4, 1683."
For these descriptions and others in Medford grave yard, we are
indebted to Miss Lydia R. Stone, of Medford.

on WiUis family). Percival HaU, of Medford, owned the covenant
of tbe church of Cambridge in order to have his children baptized ;
and son Percival was baptized Nov. 20, 1698 ; be and his wife were
admitted to full communion Dec. 31, 1699; he was one of the
founders ofthe church of Medford, Feb. 11, 1713, and was chosen
deacon in place of his father-in-law Thomas Willis, who resigned
on account of old age, March 9, 1720. He was proprietor of Sutton
in 1720, and removed to that place in the fall of 1720, or in the
following spring ; was dismissed from the church of Medford, Dec.
3, 1721, and with his wife was admitted to the church of Sutton,
the same month, and not long after was chosen the 2d deacon of
that church ; he became a very prominent and efficient man in both
church and town affairs. He appeared to be the chief means of
the setdement of his kinsman Rev, David HaU, from Yarmouth,
over the church of Sutton ; he was a very large landed proprietor,
and represented the town in General Court (see History of Sutton),
His grandson Jonathan HaU, of Windsor, Vt , said " that he was a
short, thick man, and a great worker." His grave is near that of
his son Willis in the burying ground near the meeting house in
Sutton Center, but there is no grave stone erected to his memory.
Those of his posterity who feel an interest in having a suitable
monument set up at his grave will do well to write to Gardner Hall,
of Sutton, on the subject. His children were :

NoTZ. The Willis Family. The name is written on the records of Cambridge, Willow,
Willows, and Willoes, the name should be spelled Willow, and is quite another name than
Wyllys, which is generally spelled Willis. But his descendants prefer to be called Willis
rather than Willow. George Willow (Willis) the emigrant ancestor was born in England
about 1 602, and came to Cantbridge about 1 628, although the formation of the town was not
until 1630. In 1688 he stated that he was 86 years old and had lived in Cambridge 60
years. He m., 1st,, Widoiu Jane Palphry, the mother of John Palphry, some of whose
descendants have been men of distinction ; m,, 2d, Sarah  , who survived him. George

1658, when the church records were burned. He made his will Sept. 17, 1690, and it
was probated Oct. 7, 1690. He left two sons, i. Thomas, b. Dec. 28, 1638; 2. Stephen,

The following sketch of Rev. Edward B. Hall's life is selected
from his biography, published in a small volume of his sermons:
"Edward Brooks Hall was born in Medford, Sept. 2, 1800; and
.was named from his maternal grandfather Rev. Edward Brooks, of
North Yarmouth. He was a lineal descendant of Rev. John
Cotton, who was the second minister of the first church in Boston.
As a boy his whole heart was given to play; but in Nov., 1815, he
found his mother very desirous that he should go to college, and ac
cordingly made an immediate and entire change in his habits. Al
though his father's house stood on the square, where the voices of

Halls of Medford {Second Part). 3 1 3
his companions could assail him with frequent temptation, he shut
himself up with a determination to fit himself for Harvard in nine
months. His teacher, .Vir. Con vers Francis, told him it was almost
impossible ; but he accomplished it, and entered college honorably in
the foUowing August; so passed out of boyhood with the conscien
tious perseverance which marked his whole after life. Reserved in
his habits, because compelled to study closely for all that be gained,
he formed few intimacies ; but Rev. Dr. Furness, Rev. Dr. Gan-
nott and Rev. Calvin Lincoln were classmates, for whom his[attach-
ment only increased with years. While in college he found his af
fections strongly drawn toward the study of divinity, but he was in
duced to become a teapher for a year, in a place called Garrison
Forest, about ten miles from Baltimore, " a happy year " he always
called it. We find this entry in his private note book : " I am now
at Cambridge, studying divinity — the study of all others most im
portant, the solemnity and awful responsibility of which I fear I
have not sufficiently felt. I tremble to think I may bring to the
altar of God unfit bonds and earthly affections." And throughout
his private notes we find continual utterances of the deepest humility
with supphcations for divine help.
On being approved for the ministry he writes " How is it that I
can summon courage to engage in the public duties of my profession,
I hardly know, I seem to be urged on by some singular impulse. I
still hope and pray that I may be made better by the very duties
before mc, and do resolve firmly and humbly, that I will henceforth
do all I can to advance the interests of true religion." On the i6th
of Aug., 1826, he was ordained over the new Unitarian Society in
Northampton, their first pastor ; his ordination having been delayed
some months, by his ill health. Here he preached for three years,
during which his appearance is thus described by one who heard him
often : " We recall with gratitude to-day the pleadings of his mild
voice, and the pathos of his invalid appearance ; for his face glowed
with a half consumptive hectic, round which a halo of light and
curling hair played in clusters; tall and thin, he seemed to us preach
ing over his own grave, and to bring a solemnity and directness to
the work which one soon to pass within the veil might naturally use."
On the 30th of Oct., 1826, he was married, by the Rev. Dr. Kirk
land, to Harriet Ware, a worthy member of a family distinguished for
intellect and goodness. His health failing again, he was compelled
to resign his parish, to quit the warm friends he had made and leave

3 1 4 Hall Genealogy.
his wife with her two young children to struggle bravely with many
difficulties ; he went to Cuba with his younger brother, the late Rev.
Nathaniel Hall, of Dorchester, whose conscientious purpose to quit
a business life for the ministry he had heartily encouraged. Benefitted
in health he reached home just in time to look once more on the
face of his first born, a beautiful boy, only two years old, already laid
in his coffin. He then went with his wife to Cincinnati where he
took charge of the Unitarian Society for nearly a year with great
acceptance ; there his son Edward Henry was born, now pastor of
a Unitarian Society in Worcester, Mass. He was preaching for a
time at Grafton, Mass., where he had formed a church, when he
received a call from the First Congregational Society of Providence,
R, I., with some misgivings as to his strength for such labor, he
accepted it and was installed Nov. 4, 1832. From that time his in
defatigable devotion to work was seldom interrupted by ill heath ;
although he had destroyed hundreds of his early sermons, he left
many hundreds, a large portion of which he had preached only once,
or, at most, twice, during his long ministry ; with all his writing he
kept up with the times in reading, and wasa thorough pastor, visiting
his people so familiarly and genially that he became the sharer of their
joys and sorrows, and was always to be found beside the sick, the
anxious and the bereaved ; no fear of infection kept him from those
suffering from terrible and contagious maladies. His own domestic
trials were not few ; not long after settling in Providence, he buried
two young sons ; and in June, 1838, his noble wife was taken from
him by an illness of a few hours only, leaving as mourners all who
knew her.
In Oct., 1840, he married Louisa Jane, the eldest dau. of Dr.
John Park, of Boston, whose able labors had a decided and permanent
influence on female education in that city, and who then had retired
to Worcester ; by her he had one dau. named, Harriet Ware, still
living. In 1850, he was sent at delegate to the peace convention at
Frankfort on the Maine, and returned to watch the decline of a
most promising son just entering manhood ; on the day of the
funeral, the last day of Dec, he said quietly " To speak to my people
will be my duty and my comfort ; " and went from the cemetery into
the pulpit to preach his customary occasional sermon, made more
impressive by the tokens of his suppressed grief. The community
in which he lived recognized his wisdom and fidelity, so that his
advice was much sought, and his time often claimed by duties outside

Halls of Medford {Part Second). 315
of his profession ; he served for twenty years on the school com
mittee, and was one ofthe trustees of the noble Brown University,
though holding different religious opinions from his brother officers.
He aided his first wife heartily in establishing the Employment
Society, still thriving ; he was almost the father of the Ministry at
Large, still doing its blessed work ; he was the warm friend of another
Harriet Ware (bearing the same name, though not related to his
wife), who from humble beginnings, founded what is now the ad
mirable Home for Friendless Children, the Shelter of Colored
Children, the Bethel, the Home for Aged Females, in short, almost
every good work undertaken in the prosperous and generous com
munity, had the benefit of his counsel and zealous aid. A clergyman
who came a stranger to the city remarked " I cannot inquire into
one of your manv charities without finding Dr. Hall concerned init."
He was once president of the American Unitarian Association,
and while entirely free from sectarian bitterness, always just to an
tagonists, and cherishing personal friendships with members of other
denominations, he wrote some doctrinal tracts — one " On the Atone
ment," " What is it to be a Unitarian ?" which are still considered
able and useful ; he preached anti-slavery when it was unpopular ;
law and order when the State of Rhode Island was torn with popular
discord ; temperance, righteousness and judgment to come, at all
times, boldly ; and when the great rebellion broke out he cheerfully
consented that his two remaining sons, both of whom had entered
the ministry, should expose themselves in the good cause. William
Ware Hall, the youngest, took a fatal cold at Newbern, and fell a
victim to hardships his constitution could not endure ; although, after
leaving the army, he taught faithfully at St. Helena, in spite of suf
fering ; he came home in August, 1864, only to die ; he was greatly
beloved, and his father mourned as he had only once mourned before,
yet he still set the example of that christian resignation he taught.
Although of grave aspect, and always, in the pulpit and out, bearing
with him much personal dignity, Dr. Hall was of a joyous tempera
ment, sustained by a deep undercurrent of pious faith ; he believed
that Christianity must make the heart glad ; so his winning smile and
cheerful words rendered him always welcome to young and old.
Under his influence and encouraged by his enthusiasm for his pro
fession, a number of young men were led, at different times, to enter
the ministry ; and of those eight went from his society in Providence.
In theology he was emphatically a liberal conservative, resting his

3 1 6 Hall Genealogy .
faith on the gospel, and looking to Jesus Christ as his master. He
once remarked, " I believe that I hold the truth, at least I cannot
see things differendy, but I know that I am fallible, and that others
may have got hold of the truth, which I have not." Therefore,
although he sometimes grieved over what seemed to him errors, he
never allowed himself to feel anger or contempt for those who hon
estly differed from him ; of old orthodoxy or young radicalism he
never spoke with harshness, only with regret and hope. In October,
feeling the infirmities of age and ill health, he thought some younger
man would serve the congregation better, and therefore announced
that he should resign his pastorate at the end of April next (i866) ;
he consequently made preparations for leaving the parsonage. He
had once remarked, " I should like to die in this house, and pastor of
this people." It did not seem as if the wish would be granted ; but
his sight was now failing rapidly, and he had nocturnal attacks of
faintness, but no palpitation of the heart. On returning from church
on the last night of the year, it was Sunday, he thus wrote in his
note book, " A solemn thought that this is probably the last time I
shall ever hold this service as pastor ; in two hours as eventful a
a year as I ever have known, publicly or privately, will close its
record ; God forgive the sins, and accept the feeble services of this
year, and my life. Farewell to 1865."
In January, 1866, his physician forbade him to. use his eyes.
None who heard him can forget the impressiveness of his service,
when on two successive Sundays, having committed the hymns and
chapters to memory, and preached extempore, he went through the-
whole without book or note. His last text was from his Master's
words " Judge not " and most fervently did he enjoin upon his
people to suspect no man's motives, and to judge charitably of
words and actions. His distress for breath continued to increase, and
the doctors on consultation decided that he had enlargment of the
heart. He received this unexpected intelligence with perfect calm
ness, and although not expecting to die so soon he made preparation
for that event. His last act was about three o'clock in the after
noon of March 3, 1866, when he dictated a letter giving the copy
right of his memoir of Mary Ware, to the American Unitarian
Association, signing bhndly but legibly. He then insisted on his
wife retiring to get some sleep^ seeming much distressed about her
broken nights, and she left him with his daughter. As he was sit-
tingin an armed chair and had repeated two or three verses of favorite

Halls of Medford {Part Second). 3 1 7
hymns with great difficulty, when his daughter saw a change pass
over his face ; he sprang up and before she could reach him, the life
had gone out from his eyes and he fell senseless on the floor of that
study, where he had so happily toiled for nearly thirty years ; the
laboring heart had stopped ; he had left all pain and sorrow behind
and gone to work for God and his Master in joy everlasting ; his
wish had been granted, for he had died in that house and pastor of
that dear people. His children were:
I. Edward Ware, b. Dec, 8, 1827 ; d. May 29, 1830, 2. John
Brooks, b, March 4, 1829 ; d, Dec, 8, 1835, 3. Edward Henry,

with Rev. Thaddeus Mason Harris, D.D., and continued pastor of
that church until his death in 1875. The following description of
his early struggle between conscience and lucrative business, is given
by his brother. Rev. Edward B. Hall : " He chose a calhng which
gave him early success and promised an ample fortune ; but it en
slaved him, and worse, it asked him, and employers expected him
to let nothing stand in the way of sordid gain for them and him ; no
rest, no duty, no improvement of intellect or heart, scarcely the
Sunday season — never the question of conscience — no, never the
abstraction of right or wrong, against custom and against advantage ;
he would not brook it ; he loathed and left it ; men called him a
fool; but he became a freeman ; no longer a slave of the world, he
became a servant of men and of God." During the last year or

HALLS OF MEDFORD.

Th'spart embraces the posterity of Hon. Stephen Hall of Medford.
Third Generation.
{Family lo.) Stephen Hall', John', John': b. Jan. 19, 1704;
d. Dec. I, 1787, ae. 83 ; m, Mary  , d. Oct. 20, 1791, ae. 80
years ; he was called Stephen Hall, Jr., because he had an uncle
Stephen ; he was associated with his cousin Stephen Hall, 3d, as
administrator of the estate of his uncle Lt. Stephen Hall; he was
representative of Medford from 1763 to 1770 ; in a deed given
1 8 10, by his son Willis to his daughter Elizabeth Tngraham, he
is designated as " Hon. Stephen Hall, gentleman." Mrs. Mary E.
Stearns of College Hill,. Medford, has in her possession articles of
silver which formerly belonged to Stephen HaU, among which, I
think, there is a tankard with a Hall coat of arms engraven upon its
side. In his will Stephen Hall mentions sons Willis, Stephen,
Aaron, Ezekiel, and daughters Mary, Elizabeth, and Jane. Child
ren were :
I. Willis, b. Aug. 20, 1733 (Family 100). 2. Stephen, b. March

servants, Lois Judkins, $60, Phebe Pratt, $10 ; James Green, $10 ;
and of the remainder, one-third to his brother Willis, one-third to
his sister Elizabeth, and one-third to his sister Jane ; it is believed
that he was a justice of the peace. 3. Aaron, b. April 27, 1737 ; d.

of Col. Isaac Royal, an English gentlemen of Medford, who fled
to Canada after the battle of Bunker Hill, 1776, whose property
Dr. Tufts and Col. Willis Hall, managed to save from confiscation
College- Hill is a part of it, where Col. Hall's posterity still own a
beautiful mansion. Col. HaU through the influence of Col. Royal,
was almost or quite a royalist at the time of the Revolution. The foL
lowing is an extract from a letter from Col. Royal to Dr. Tufts, dated
Kensington, April 12, 1779, " I doubt not that you and Mr. Hall and
the rest of my friends, will do all in your power to procure me liberty
from General Court to return home as soon as my health will admit
of." Col. Willis Hall is represented to have been a large, courtly
man, and possessed of an imperious will. He represented Medford for
several years. His estate was administered upon by his daughter
Mary and her husband Dr. Luther Stearns in her right ; she paid to
Ann and Sarah on account of board and care of their father Willis,
$161.50; paid George H. Hall, balance of note due from estate
_ $92 93 ; paid Ehzabeth Ingraham, claim against the estate, $82.20.

his father. On this account he was obliged to give up his expecta
tion of obtaining a hberal education, but was permitted to attend
school for two years more, by spending his play hours at work. At
the age of 14 he was placed in a mercantile house in Boston as a
clerk. Here he followed the dictates of conscience implicitly through
self-denials and hardships, and was enabled to withstand the false
allurements of city life and the tricks of trade. He served as clerk
for 20 years, then he became a partner in the firm of Albert Fear
ing & Co. As a business man he was successful and became the
head of a firm for tbe manufacture and sale of goods. His maxim
was : "Material prosperity is the legitimate offspring of truth and
honesty." He was probably a ship chandler. His success in busi
ness gave him the means of indulging his fine taste as well as be
nevolent desires, and never did any good cause turn away from him
unassisted. His residence in Medford (College Hill), was a model
of refinement, liberality and republican dignity ; exiles for civil
or religious freedom found a home under his hospitable roof ; states
men and scholars took counsel around his board ; struggling genius
found the helpful benefactor and friend ; orphan boys and girls the
education for useful life ; the sick and suffering a never failing
friend ; the hunted fugitive slave and refugee a tower of strength.
His sympathy was with all people or persons suffering from oppres
sion. He gave liberally and labored still more efficiently in their
behalf. Thus he aided the Italians, the Greeks, the Crctes ; and
it was while securing aid for this last cause among the merchants of
New York, during a snow storm, that he took cold which caused his
death. But his main effort was for the oppressed of our own
country, for which he labored incessantly for the last 12 years of
his life.
He threw his whole energies into the Kansas struggle and con
tributed many thousand dollars in support of the cause of freedom
in that territory. It was in this struggle that he became acquainted
with John Brown, in whom he had confidence and whom he
aided both by his influence and by abundant pecuniary means ; also
he gave him some §7,000, just previous to his raid upon Harper's
Ferry, but was ignorant of his plan, which he would not have
approved. It was Mr. Stearns' nomination of his friend Charles
Sumner, which brought that remarkable man before the people and
his energy which made him the successful candidate for Webster's
seat in the senate; and when Mr. Sumner was struck down in the
senate chamber. May 24, 1856, and the village of Lawrence, Kansas,

was sacked, the same week ; Mr. Stearns put on his armor for the
conflict, which he never laid aside until the victory was won. When
the war began in 1861, he was persuaded that it would be a long
and difficult struggle, and it would be necessary to call for the aid of
colored soldiers, and he was almost alone in advocating it, which
he did in his paper " The Common Wealth." Finally when the
legislature gave Gov. Andrews permission to recruit colored troops,
no man could be found to do it, Mr, Stearns received the commis
sion to enlist a colored regiment, and in six weeks he brought two
regiments into Boston, the famous 54th and 55th, Mr, Steam's
afterwards recruited colored soldiers in Philadelphia and in Tennessee^
under a United States commission, with the rank of major, without
pay. He never received a cent in any way for his services, but
spent some $30,000 per year in the cause. In four months he had
ten regiments in the field. He expected that the emancipation act
would naturally follow giving the blacks the arms and the flag of the
nation. He also established schools and asylums for them in Nash
ville, and the last time he went to his office in Boston, was to send
$100 to aid establishing a negro orphan asylum in New Orleans.
Such was his benevolence, his unselfish purpose, his intelligence,
his zeal, his knowledge of men and business, and his magnetic
power, that he became successful in his influence among all classes
of people. Even Secretary Chase appreciated his financial ability
and availed himself of his counsel in time of perplexity. So also
Secretary McCullough, And it was said of him that his presence
at any given point in the army was worth a looo men. But it is
rem.arkable that his success did not in the least modify his bearing,
or paff him with pride, his soul was in the cause and not in his own
aggrandizement. And perhaps it is more remarkable that he should
also enjoy his home so much and render its inmates so happy. At
his funeral and afterwards, poets and orators eulogised him in the
highest strains.
The following extract from a poem by Whittier, is a specimen.
He has done the work of a true man, —
Crown him, honor him, love him.
Weep over him, tears of woman,
Stoop manliest brows above him i
O dusky mothers and daughters.
Vigils of mourning keep for him !
Up in the mountains, and down by the waters.
Lift up your voices and wcp for him!

For the warmest of hearts is frozen.
The freest of hands is still ;
And the gap in our picked and chosen
The long years may not fill.
No duty could overtask him.
No need his will outrun ;
Or ever our lips could ask him,
His hands the work had done.
He forgot his own soul for others,
Himself to his neighbor lending;
So the bed was sweet to die on.
Whence he saw the doors wide swung.
Shall he not hear the blessing,
" Good and faithful, enter in !"

in searching original records, and has thus corrected some funda
mental mistakes made by several of the best genealogists at and near
Boston, in reference to his Hail pedigree. There were so many
Hall's by the name of Stephen, that it required much time, and
patient and interested research by a clever head, in order to clear up
the almost certain confusion. The friends of history and genealogy,
especially those of his own line, owe him many thanks; he has also
sent me information of other families, for which I am greatly
obliged, I am also indebted to the author of " The History of the
Cutter Family" for much information in this line.

Mass. ; in., in Sutton, Mass., by Rev. John McKinstry, Dec. 26,
Note. The following items of information are kindly famished by Joseph McClellen of
Woodstock, Conn. He says : " My grandfather. Gen. Samuel McClellen, was born in the
town of Worcester, Mass., Jan. 4, 1730. His parents emigrated from Scotland, he was
brought up with his father on a farm near what is now the city of Worcester. He was a
lieutenant in the French and Indian war. And in 1757, he purchased a farm and moved on
to it, in Woodstock, Conn. He occupied the farm only a short time, and then engaged in
trade in another part of the parish. He married, Nov. 16, 1757, Jemima Chandler, by
whom he had three sons, she died April 3, 1764, and he married, 2d, March 5, 1766,
Rachel Abbe of Windham, Conn., by whom he had five sons and three daughters, one
son and one daughter died young. The eldest son John, was my father, wh» lived and died
here on the place which my brother and myself now occupy. The second son was James,
the father of Dr. Geo. McClellen, of Philadelphia, Penn., who was the father of Maj,
Gen. Geo. B. McClellen, commander of the army of the Potomac, candidate for the pre
sidency ofthe United States, and la(e governor of New Jersey (1881). The third son was
Nathaniel, who lived with his father until his death, when not long after he sold the home
stead and removed to Albany, N. Y., afterwards to Northumberland, N. Y., thence to
New York city, and finally to Norwich, Conn., where he died. The fourth son was
Judah, who settled in Bloomfield, Me., where he died, leaving a large family. Two of his
sons are in business in New York, one of his daughters married John Lovett, and settled
in Albany, the other Lucretia, m. Gen. Ebenezer Huntington, of Norwich, Conn. I do
not know the name of^ my grandfather's rather ; his mother died in his family at an ad
vanced age, being a Scotch woman of excellent piety, whose maiden name was Jane Calhoon.
The daughter of my Uncle James has visited Scotland and made a sketch ofthe old Mc
Clellen homestead, a copy of which I send to you. The main building seems to be a
ruin, covered with ivy. The stone one at the right was a chapel, and usea as a school
house. It is located at Kercudbright, on the Galway. My grandfather was a minute-man
during the revolutionary war, captain in 1775, ^'"' started with with his company for
Lexington at the beginning of the war, but turned back on hearing of the retreat of the
enemy. In 1775, ^^ *^s major. In 1776, he was lieutenant colonel. In 1779, was
colonel. In 1784, brigadier general. On tie invasion of New London and masacre at
Fort Groton, he was placed in command there and continued until the close of the war.
When he resumed his mercantile business for a short time, and then giving it up, attended
to his land, of which he owned a large amount. He died, Oct. 17, 1807. My father
was a lawyer^and managed a large farm which he owned, and with his busy life seldom
spake of his ancestors." Dea. James McClellen of Sutton claimed to be a cousin to these
Connecticut McClellens.

to Deacon Willis Hall, and as he whispered to another boy, the

ancestor was Richard Gale, who purchased a nine acre home lot in
Watertown, near Boston, in 1640 ; Capt. Gale worked the farm of
his relation, Jonas Gale, to whom he was bound, until he was 21
years of age ; he then worked for seven ye.trs finishing U. S. mus
kets in the armory at Millbury, at which he was very skillful ; at the
close of this period he lost all of his savings ($1,300) by loaning it
to a cotton mill company ; but instead of being discouraged by this
great misfortune, Mr. Gale resolved to try again ; he served the
Waldron scythe factory for four or five years, by which he saved
a few hundred dollars, and in 1819 joined a company going to the
far west, consisting of Isaac Gale and family, George Cummings, of
Douglass (afterwards Isaac Gale's son-in-law), and Rev. Joseph
Fassett, of Boston ; they all bought lands adjoining, on the east fork
of the White river, in Indiana. This was then an almost unbroken
wUderness ; there was no mark of the white man's axe three miles
to the south east, where now stands the city of Columbus. In May,
1823, Mr. Gale returned to Sutton, and married the lady of his
choice; he returned with his wife by way of Providence, R. I.; by
sloop to Baltimore ; by stage to Pittsburgh ; by skiff to Madison,
Ind.; here they stopped, and Mrs. Gale, like a true helpmeet as she
was, taught school, while Mr. Gale also taught school near Vernon,
but before «vinter set in, they proceeded to the end of their journey,
and settled down at the home he had provided ; here they lived and
here they died. Mr. Gale enjoyed many piEces of trust, and was
honored by being chosen captain of the first military company
formed in that place. Mrs. Gale died Nov. 30, 1836 ; her death
was a sore bereavement to the family, her oldest child, Joseph, being

their active physical habits moderately, while becoming more accus
tomed to' sedentary life and intellectual labors ; some of the students
nearly paid their way by their work There were no mote sturdy
workers in the seminary than the Wright brothers, who at the same
time were thorough students, I remember well, what an active and
efficient part they took among the students who constructed an
observatory out of spruce trees, on tbe tip top of old Equenox on the
4th of July, 1835 ; we clambered up its steep sides then, but now
there is a more easy way of access by a roundabout carriage road,

ness at that time), without the means to make any more purchases.
He lived in Guildhall several years, and was a great spiritual bless
ing to the town ; the people were destitute of the preached gospel,

watches ; in working at his trade he found the need of machinery
instead of fingers to hold the punches, and vice for holding the die,
he therefore invented a " staking tool," which he has constantly im
proved for over 17 years; he now manufactures these staking tools

mands one of the most extensive and varied prospects in the state;

a favorable notoriety in connection with the " LoweU Offering " ;
in Sept., 1844 the A. B. C. F. M,, sent her (with others) as a
teacher to the Choctaw Indians ; she was cared for and supported by
the John street church, of Lowell, principally in this mission ; she
was one of the original members of this church ; her health faihng,
she returned after five years of labor and retired for recuperation to
the quiet life of former times in Maine and Massachusetts, One of
the irritating causes of her ill health among the Indians, was their
toleration of slavery, although but few practiced it. The repeal by
congress of what was called the Missouri compromise (which forbade
the extension of slavery to tbe north, beyond a specified line), aroused
her patriotism and love of universal freedom ; and she with many
others of like mind, rushed to the west and established themselves at
Lawrence, Kansas, where they fought a moral battle and to some
extent a physical one, for five long years, in order to keep the virgin
soil of that new territory from being cursed with the bhght of slavery.
The task of these patriots would have been an easy one, had not the
general government at Washington lent its influence to the side of
slavery extension and against the cause of freedom ; here is where
the war began which subsequently deluged the land in blood. After
the battle of Antietam, Lydia was found nursing the sick and wounded
soldiers in the hospitals at Washington, until her health failed, and
she received an appointment as clerk in the Treasury department,
until May, 1872, when she went to reside in New Bedford, Mass.

390 Hall Genealogy.
{Family 250.) Read Hall', pedigree as last given : b. in Croy
don, N. H., Oct. 27, 1795; d. in Brownington, Vt., on Sunday,
June 24, 1877, in his 82d year ; m,, ist, June 17, 1823, Mary Das
comb, of Wilton, N. H.; the beauty of whose life equalled that of his
own, she d, Nov., 1836 ; m., 2d, June 3, 1838, Mary, dau, of Deacon
Solomon Holt, of Andover, Mass,, who was the companion and
solace of his old age, and who survived him ; she lives with her
youngest son in Brownington, who is the only one of Mr, Hall's
eleven children now living. Read Hall assumed the name of Samuel
after the death of a brother of that name, and is generally known as
Samuel R. Hall ; he went with his parents, when a child, from
Croydon to Guildhall, Vt. ; during his entire youth he suffered much
from feeble health ; owing to his father's loss of property he was
unable to obtain a collegiate education, but pursued a full course of
classical study at Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N, H., in
1815,6,8,9; he received the honorary degree of A. M, from
Dartmouth College in 1839, and that of LL,D, from the Univer
sity of Vermont in 1865, He began to teach school at the
age of twenty. He said of himself, later in life, " One of
the first convictions fastened on my mind, after I became a
teacher, was that the whole system of education in the country,
was defective ; and that the time of scholars in the common schools
was, in a great measure, lost ; I taught in Maine, New Hampshire
and other states, and in each state observed, the same facts; I de
termined, therefore, to do what I could, to reform abuses and correct
evils ; my efforts were appreciated and my services sought at my
own prices." This [encouraged him to persevere, and the result
was that he became eminent as a teacher and trainer of teachers.
" Great persistency and personal enthusiasm in whatever engaged his
attention, breadth of generalization, and large capacity for la'bor,
combined with warmth and earnestness of heart, were among Mr,
HaU's prominent characteristics, and doubtless gave the key to his
life's success. His views of both the importance and the methods
of the educarion of youth, as based upon religious grounds, were at
the beginning in advance of his time, and his comributions to educa-
rional reform will remain as the chief memorial of his service."
But Mr. Hall was not content with merely teaching school;
his religious convicrion of duty led him to seek the ministry of
the gospel. He studied theology with Rev, Walter Chapin, of
Woodstock, Vt., and Rev. WiUiam Eaton, of Fitchburgh,
Mass,, and was Ucensed to preach by the Worcester North

Halls of Medford {Part Seventh). 391
Associarion at Princeton, Mass., May, 1822 — at the same
time receiving an appointment to labor as a missionary at Concord,
Vt., where he commenced his labors June 2, 1822 ; and by an un
derstanding with his people he established a seminary for training
teachers, which was opened in March, 1823 — here, in an obscure
corner of New England, self prompted and alone in planning, he
established the frst normal school in America. The school was suc
cessful, and those who went out from it were greatly sought as teach
ers in Vermont, New Hampshire and Canada. A course of lec
tures was given each year to his students, and in 1829 a small vol
ume of lectures on teaching, was committed to the press ; it became
so popular, that three editions were soon exhausted — the third, of
1,000 copies was taken by the State of New York, One method
which he invented for teaching, was the blackboard ; he introduced
it for use in his school in Rumford, Me., in 1816 ; it had never
been used before in America. Mr. Hall was dismissed from his
charge in Concord, June, 1830, to take charge of the English Nor
mal School of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., for which an
elegant building has since been erected, at a cost of §8,000. His
success at Concord' and Andover, together with lectures on the sub
ject and written appeals, gradually awakened the public mind ; his
efforts, in connection with those of G. B. Emerson,  Morse,
the author of the geography, E. A. Andrews, Benjamin Greanleaf,
N. Cleveland and others, by memorial presented to the legislature,
effected the establishment ot the board of education in Massachu
setts, 1837, and in 1838 the normal school, the first endowed by any
state in the Union. The full course at Andover was three years,
but so great was the demand for teachers, that few of the students
completed it. After seven years at Andover, his health became so
much impaired by overtasking and the unfavorable influence of the
climate so near the sea, he was led to resign the charge of the semi
nary and to accept the appointment of principal of the Teachers'
Seminary then being established at Plymouth, N. H. There he
was assisted in the school by Miss Arethusa Hall, an accomphshed
teacher and author ; they were both descended from Deacon Perci
val Hall, of Sutton, in the third degree, but knew not that they were
cousins, to such a low degree of neglect had genealogical knowledge
and interest fallen ; owing to pecuniary embarrassment of the trus
tees, Mr. HaU left Plymouth at the end of the third year. After
closing the seminary at Plymouth, he accepted a call from the church
of Craftsbury, Vt., July 8, 1840 . this pastorate continued for thir-

teen and a half years, during which he received nearly loo persons to
church membership ; he was also for a portion of the time, principal
of the Craftsbury Academy, and left a valuable cabinet of minerals^
well arranged, to the institution ; here his labors had become too
nmch for his state of health and he was obliged to seek for a field
less onerous ; accordingly he was dismissed, Jan. 4, 1858, and im
mediately commenced labors at Brownington, Vt., on a salary of
$400 per annum, and continued until Feb. 5, 1867, when he resigned
on account of old age. Here he purchased a farm, upon which his
son and widow find a comfortable home. While pastor of the
church of Brownington he received upwards of sixty members to
the church; he was also postmaster of Brownington from Aug. i,
1863, to Feb. I, 1865. Still his active nature could not rest, and he
labored for three years from 1872 to 1875, at Granby, Vt., in a
church which he had organized 50 years previous. This was ac
complished with much acceptance and usefulness. At the close of
his labors in Granby, he had a call to preach in another church, but
the increasing infirmity of old age forbade his accepting it. He was
well acquainted with astronomy, and gave lectures on the subject in
other places, when laboring at Granby in extreme old age. In the
science of geology he was also an enthusiast, and an acknowledged
master ; he sought to popularize and make practical the science, es
pecially in its bearings upon the agricultural interest ofthe state ; in the
geological survey of Vermont, under Prof. Edward Hitchcock, com
menced in 1 857, he had the especial charge of the survey, and the col
lection of specimens, in the three most northerly sections of the thir
teen, into which the state was divided. He said there was gold in that
section, but not enough to pay for working. He frequently gave lec
tures on geology. The following are the most important of his pub
lished works: "The Child's Assistant to a Knowledge ofthe
Geography and History of Vermont" — and as revised and enlarged,
is now in use in the common schools of the state — "Lectures on
Teaching," 1829 ; in 1832, " Lectures to Female School Teach
ers," "The Child's Instructor" and " Arithmetical Manuel ;"
in 1833, "Practical Lectures on Parental Responsibility and
the Religious Education of ChUdren," " The Grammatical As
sistant" and "A School History of the United States," and
in 1868, " The Alphabet of Geology," Aside from these, he
was the author of numerous contributions to tRe Journal of Edu
cation and other periodicals. At the opening of Oberlin Col
lege, Rev, Dr. S. R. Hall was appointed its first president, and

he sent on his brother-in-law, Prof. John Dascomb, to make a begin
ning who, I beheve, is there yet ; but Dr, Hall did not go on,* for
some reason, which I do not understand. Such was the public career
of a remarkable man ; but he was more remarkable for the simplicity
of his life and manners, his unselfishness of heart and the amiability
of his disposition. He manifested an interest in everybody, and was
wUling to do all he could to make them happy. None knew him
but to love him as a dear friend or near kindred. Children were :

b. Nov., 1823 ; Dr. Philips settled in practice the same fall at Ste
vens Point, Wis., where he still resides, and is greatly esteemed as a
man and as a physician. The following extract is taken from a
notice of Mrs. Philips' death, by Gen. A. G. Elhs, and published in
a newspaper at Stevens Point : '' Ever since Mrs. Philips came
among us, twenty-three years ago, she has been a constant and beloved
member of our society ; her education was carefully secured, and
her mind cultivated in no ordinary degree ; not rudiments alone, but
the more solid attainments of physics and philosophy adorned and
strengthened her understanding ; yet her reticence and modest de
portment was ever such, that nothing like display or pedantry
appeared in her intercourse with society, and her learning, if it ap
peared at all, was only as an adornment of her eminent christian
graces ; it was only her most intimate friends and family,
that knew of her attainments in the exact sciences and the languages.
Her beautiful poems, " Under the Pines," though only fragments of
her wrirings, are before the public, pubhshed, as we know, with
much reluctaAce, and after repeated solicitations of her friends, and
written, as they were, only to beguile leisure hours, may neverthe
less challenge criticism, and do equal honor to her mind and heart.
To recite her works of charity, her labors of love, would only be to
give a history of most of the benevolent enterprises among our lady
friends for the last twenty years. Among those of a literary cast it
may not be inappropriate to cite that of our now exceUent Library
Associarion, as an institution to be credited very largely to her efforts.
Her, list of friends was only limited by the number of her acquain
tances. The cheerfulness with which she endured a lingering Ulness,

Halls of Medford {Part Seventh). 415
testified her unwavering faith and trust in her divine Lord, looking
calmly to a brighter world, as she says in her own sweet song."
'- Heaven is free from shadows.
All is perfect, pure, etherial light,
Where the Saviour reigneth,
Shadows shall not dwell."

was educated at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, N. H. ; was a
school teacher ; was a soldier in the war for the Union ; he enlisted
Aug. 20, 1861, in Co. E, Capt. Ira McL. Barton, 5th Reg., N. H.,
called the " Fighring Fifth," Col, Edward E, Cross. Alonzo Allen
was a soldier of great efficiency as well as of noble bearing, being over
six feet in height, straight and well proportioned, his weight was over
200 pounds ; his captain offered him the office of 2d sergeant, which
he nobly dechned in favor of his brother Oscar, who had seen service.
Private Allen took part with his regiment during the first half of
1862, in its drills, marches, fatigue duties, road making, bridge and
tower building, in the siege of Yorktown, etc, ; the bridge wbich
they constructed over the Chickahominy river called Sumner's grape
vine bridge, was said by the French Prince de Joinville to have been
the means of saving the army of the Potomac at the battle of Fair
Oaks. Private Allen took an active and honorable part in the battles
of Rappahannock Station, Yorktown and Fair Oaks ; in this last
engagement June i, 1862, near its close, he received a severe wound,
which at first was thought to be mortal, and so disabled him that he
is incapacitated for manual labor for life ; he carries rebel lead yet in
his body. He received an honorable discharge from the army, Sept.
II, 1862. His fellow townsmen have elected him town clerk at
seventeen annual elections last past ; in 1877, Gov. Cheney appointed
him justice of the peace, which office he still holds ; he is also the
postmaster of Croydon. He takes great interest in genealogical and
historical researches, and has sent me very valuable contributions
from the records of Croydon and elsewhere ; he also has been a
contributor to the Press for these eight or ten years past.

H. Vols., Col. Mason W. Tappen ; mustered into service. May 2,
1861, for three .months. This regiment marched and counter

should have participated in the first battle of Bull Run ; and, if so,
would probably have turned the scale in favor of the Union, in that
nearly even balanced battle ; then the war might have been shortened,
and its results would have been quite different from what they finally
were. Oscar D. Allen frequently received the highest praise from
Capt. Barton, and the other officers of his regiment for his good con
duct, soldierly bearing, faithfulness and reliability. His term of ser
vice expired, Aug. 9,^861, and he spent ten delightful days among
the hills of his native town, visiting the companions of his youth,
and having a good time in the society of his dear kindred and loved
ones; then, Aug. 20, 1861, he re-enlisted under the same captain in
Co. E, as corporal, 5th Reg., N. H. Vols., Col. E. E. Cross.
Their first battle was at Rappahannock Station, March 28, 1862, in
which all the men acquitted themselves worthy of all praise. On
the 4th of April, .1862, the regiment embarked at Alexandria, Va.,
for the Peninsula ; they reached Ship Point, April 11, and were
•obliged to wade ashore from the steamer, and camp on the cold,
wet ground, with no shelter but their wet blankets ; then began the
building of corduroy roads and bridges, through the low swampy
ground towards Yorktown. This regiment was often complimented
by Gens. Howard and Sumner for its skill in its arduous duries.
And in Gen. McClellen's seige of Yorktown it acted a conspicuous
part ; it was temporarily joined to the engineers' brigade under Gen.
Woodbury ; it also constructed an observatory at general head
quarters, of heavy hewed timbers, 100 feet high and 40 feet base.
On the 3d of May, Yorktown was evacuated by the enemy, and on
the fifth the thunder of battle was heard from 'Williamsburgh by the
" Fighting Fifth," and, eager for the fray, it started just at dark, in
the midst of a terrific rain storm, and conrinued over the most ter
rible marching ground, with the mud nearly knee deep, in the midst
of darkness, untU nearly morning, coming up too late to share in the
victory. By order of Gen, Sumner, the 5th New Hampshire began
on the 25th of May, 1862, to build a bridge over the Chickahominy
river and swamp, strong enough for artillery and loaded wagons to
cross ; the swamp was corduroyed on both sides of the river, and
the bridge was constructed of heavy logs and immense trees seventy-
five rods in length ; it was finished on the 30th of May, at evening,
just in time for Gen Sumner's corps to cross and save, on the next
day. Gen, Casey's division from total destruction at the battle of Fair
Oaks. A sudden rise of the river had carried away all the other
bridges of the Chickahominy. In all these arduous toils of theregi-

ment. Corporal Allen was in his place and engaged, with the marked
approval of his superiors. At the battle of Fair Oaks, where was
the hottest musketry firing during the war, the " Fighting Fifth"
fired the first and the last shot. Company E was on the extreme
left of the regiment, and Corporal Allen stood in its front rank, in
the center, and his brother Alonzo on the right ; the company went
into the battle with fifty-seven fighting men, six of whom were
killed and twenty-three wounded, including Alonzo Allen, During
the "seven days battles" Corporal Allen was at his post, and with
unflinching courage performed well his part in the bloody battles of
Savage Station, Peach Orchard, White Oak Swamp, Charles City
Cross Roads, and Malvern HUl ; his superior officers spoke in the
highest praise of his coolness, fidelity and reliability in these battles ;
he was next in the deadly contest at South Mountain-battle ; and two
days after, Sept, 17, 1862, he was engaged in the great battle of
Antietam, in which he received a severe bullet wound in the left
shoulder, the bullet passing through bis body just below bis left
shoulder ; at the same time a descending shell of the enemy burst so
close to him that a piece struck his head and stretched him sense
less upon the ground ; he was carried to the camp hospital near
Frederick City, Md,, to await the healing of his wounds ; tvhile
here, he was promoted for his bravery to tbe office of 2d sergeant of
Co, E ; when his wounds were nearly healed he returned to his
post in Co. E, arriving there in the midst of the terrible battle of
Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863; from this time he acted as orderly
sergeant in Co, E to the day of his death. At the battle of Get
tysburgh, his twelfth great battle, our youthful hero bore himself
bravely until near the close of the second day's contest, when the
fatal missile, a grape shot, passed through his body, killing him in
stantly ; his brave Col., E. E, Cross, was also mortally wounded in
the same battle. The mortal remains of Sergeant Oscar D. Allen
lie buried in the National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pa., No, 10, sec
tion 6, N. H, Lot, His memory is cherished for his manly
conduct and martial bravery by his surviving comrades and friends
generally, among the green hills of New Hampshire, And while we
express our highest tribute of regard for the heroes of our terrible
struggle for national existence, we hope and pray that we as a Nation,
shall never again be called to the trial of another such a crisis, when
brother wars with brother, and whichever gains the victory it must
end in damage to both. And more than this, we pray with hope,
that the blessed day shall come when men shall not need to learn
the ait of war any more.

death he took passage on the ill fated Seawanhaka on his way to his
country residence ; when the vessel was wrecked, he floated some dis
tance in the water, till he was rescued ; but the shock and the
strain on his physical strength was thought to have had some influence
in hastening his death. Mr. Hall spent some years in Boston, but
in 1828 he came to New York, and soon after embarked in the
business of manufacturing upholsterer's supplies ; his store was 169
Chatham street ; he was a leading man in the business, and built up
a large and successful trade ; some years before his death he gave

was a prudent and careful business man and had accumulated a hand
some fortune. In 1865 he began his residence at 139 Keaf street,

the richest man in Sutton, and whose sister Judith, m. Thomas
Hall, the brother of Willis. Mr. Coye's sons were very respecta
ble men and there are about seventy names of their descendants in
my possession. Willis Hall was a tall broad shouldered man, and a
man of great influence in the town and county. He was a deacon
in the church of which he became a member in 1^42, held the
office of selectman ten years and was a representative in the legisla-
lature. At one time he was chosen chairman of a convention held
in Worcester, consisting of five hundred delegates, which met to
consider some difficulties between the government and the people;
influential parties were sent from Boston to break up the meeting,
but the chairman preserved order, and the convention passed resolu
tions which were conciliatory, and the trouble ceased. He carried
with him much weight of character, and while he was benevolent
and conciliatory he could no doubt assume a commanding aspect

and dignity equal to any emergency. It is said of him that " He
was universally respected, and never had an enemy." Deacon
Willis Hall succeeded in the ownership of the homestead and -lived
in the house where John P. Stockwell, the present owner, now lives;
his father Dea. Percival Hall lived and died in the old house wbich
stood near it. The following is a copy of a letter written in his old
age to his son Nathaniel, dated Sutton, Sept. 20, 1798.
Beloved son, I received yours of Sept. 10, and rejoice that God hath
given you any degree of health, and pray God to restore you to per
fect health ; through the divine goodness we are in as good a state of
health as we have been in for several years. It is a general time of
health in this town, although there are some deaths ; spiritual death
is great among us. The church of Christ in this town is but small
as many are removed by death, and there are no additions ; none
stir themselves up to take hold on God, but on the contrary, a dis
regard to religion, wordly mindedness, and quarreling at the doctrines
of the Gospel, especially that of God's absolute sovereignty, much pre
vails. And now my Dear Son, as God hath set you as a watchman
on the walls of his spiritual Jerusalem, see to it that you be faithful
to God, and to the souls committed to your charge, hy giving warn
ing to every one. I want to say more but my nerves are so weak
and such a tremor in my hands that I can write but poorly. Give
my kind, love and regard to Mrs. Hall your consort, your Mam
remembers her love to both of you. I should be glad if you would
write to me as often as you can.
From your aged and loving father,
Willis Hall.

1820 ; m., in HoUis, N. H., Jan. 22, 1798, by the bride's grand
father. Rev. Daniel Emerson, Hannah, daughter of Dea. Daniel
Emerson, all of Hollis, she was b. Dec. 7, 1773, and d. May 22,
1832. He was brought up on his father's farm in the east part of
Sutton, Worcester Co., Mass., and probably prepared for college in
Leicester Academy, taught by his brother-in-law Jesse Green. He
was taxed in Croydon, N, H., in 1786, and his name is found on its re
cords every year for the next ten years. He graduated at Dartmouth
CoUege, 1790, and studied divinity with the celebrate4 Dr. Nathaniel
Emmons of Franklin, Mass., and adopted his views of theology and
manner of sermonizing. His sermons were generally on the doc
trine of a text, in his forenoon discourse, and on the practical in
ferences drawn from such doctrine in his afternoon discourse. After
a useful itinerancy, he was settled as pastor of the Congregational
church and society of Granville, N. Y., Oct, 5, 1797, Rev, Eli
Smith, of Hollis, his brother-in-law, was present and took a promi
nent part in the installation. This church then embraced the whole
town and a part at least of Pawlet, Vt, The people were mostly
from New England and their descendants have chiefly removed to
the west. Several churches of various denominations have since
been established in the town. The church is now nearly exrinctand
is connected with the Presbyterians, The church building has been
remodeled and repaired twice, so that it bears no resemblance to its
former appearance. Rev, Dr. William Jackson of Dorset, about
fifteen miles distant, was a classmate and lifelong friend of Mr- Hall
and probably had something to do in introducing him to the people
of Granville, They co-operated in conducting ministerial associa
tions and various societies for the promotion of the cause of Christ.
In these meetings Mr. Hall was often chosen scribe, being an ex
cellent writer. Dr. Jackson wrote a biographical sketch of Mr. Hall
which was published in the Boston Recorder, the fo.lowing are a few
extracts : " Mr. Hall established in college the reputation of being
a regular studious youth, a good scholar and an investigating genius.
His moral conduct was unexceptional although he did not make a
profession of religion until after leaving college, Mr, Halls solid
worth as a christian divine and minister, is wellknown in this region.

Halls of Medford {Part Tenth). 459
He had a weight of character which wiU not soon be forgotten.
He was an able counseller. His discernment of moral truth and his
ability to investigate and defend its principles, were distinguishing.
Loose and unsystematic notions of divinity, and moral science, rarely
escaped his observation. He saw with clearness the first leadings of
error in principle or practice and opposed them with candor and firm
ness. His discernment of facts irf the matter or method of a sermon,
was singularly accute. This rendered him peculiarly useful in minis
terial circles, and to theological students. But Mr. Hall was more
than a mere metaphysician, for his discourses contained the sincere
milk of the word ; they were as practical as they were doctrinal.
Practical improvement was both the moral and hteral end of every
sermon. In the practical part of his discourses he would sometimes
speak with great power and eloquence. His ministry was blessed
with several precious revivals of religion, and the church was built
up and became large and prosperous; and its members were gener
ally active and devout christians. His influence was extensive in
that region. His praise was in all the churches." " Much study is
a weariness to the flesh," Mr, Hall found it so in his experience,
and poor health depressed his spirits, but he found consolation at
such times by the doctrine of God's wise and merciful providence,
and would exclaim: "The Lord reigns, let the eaith rejoice!"
In the summer of 1819, a swelling appeared on his thigh which con
tinued to increase until it became enormously large, and caused his
death. The doctors called it a femoral tumor, or blind cancer.
The last sermon he preached, was on the first Sunday of January,
1820, from the text " Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him,
say ye to the wicked, it shall be iU with him," He bore his last
sickness with patience and resignation although he suffered much pain
for several months. For the last few days of his life his debihty
was so great, that it was difficult to understand what he said. The
night before he died, being sensible that his end was near, he said to
his wife, put your trust in God, there is consolation in no other, take
care of the children, they are devoted to God, bring them up for him.
And he requested that when he came to die they should sing a hymn
or Psalm in token of the christian's triumph in death. He died the
next morning about ten o'clock, and the last word he tried to say was
" sing." Mr. Hall had a very manly presence ; he was tall, broad shoul
dered, erect, hair and eyes dark, eyebrows heavy, thin skin and blond
complexion, with moderately prominent fe^tilres, and a frank, open.

manly countenance. He was generally grave and dignified, but was
naturally social. The youth of Mrs. Hannah Hall was peculiarly
happy, having good educational advantages, and the most favorable
social and religious privileges. Her personal appearance was attractive,
being nearly a blond, of medium size and rounded form, with brown
hair and expressive hazel" eyes. Her manners were a blending of
¦ dignity and grace ; her intellect was of a superior order, having a
clear perception, a good memory and a fine imagination. Her dis
position was amiable in the highest degree. She wished well to
every human being, and tried to make them happy, but her affection
was quiet, deep and enduring, and guided by a large stock of good
practical common sense. She was very sensitive and would some
times grieve at the rudeness of others, but seldom complained. She
commanded the respect and affection of all who knew her, conse
quently she lived in peace with all the world, and never had an
enemy. After her removal to Granville, she sustained the arduous
duties of a pastor's wife with propriety and acceptance ; in her house
hold responsibilities she was prudent, cheerful and enduring, bearing
herself with fortitude, and without repining amidst her life's work.
She controlled her children by moral and intellectual force rather
than by physical power, making them her friends and companions.
She understood the rites of hospitality, and practiced them with ease
and genuine good will, making people feel that they were at home.

Note. The pedigree of Mrs. Hannah Hall is as follows : Her father, Daniel Emerson
was born in Hollis, N. H., Dec. 26, 1746, d. Oct. 2,0, 1820; his house was next to that
of his father's in the village of Hollis; he was a farmer and a merchant; he held many
offices of honor and responsibility; he was a captain in the revolutionary war, and served
at Ticonderoga in 1776, and in Rhode Island, 1778, when t here were five captains serving
in his company in subordinate capacities ; he was a justice of the peace and a representa
tive of the town, and a deacon in the church, and assisted many people when in difficulty
by lending them money ; he was a man beloved generally. His father was Rev. Daniel
Emerson, b. in South Reading, Mass., May 20, 1716, o. s., and d. 1801 ; he graduated at
Harvard college-, 1739, and was settled as the first pastor of Hollis, 1743 ; he was one of
Whitefield's converts, and a zealous preacher ; he also conducted an academy in his parish j
he was chaplain in the French and Indian war in the expedition to Crown Point in I75S»
and took precedence in rank of the other chaplains on account of his having a coat of
arms of a superior order. In his personal appearance he is- said to have resembled
the famous Richard Baxter ; he raised a large family. His father was Peter
Emerson, of South Reading, a farmer, whose father was Rev. Joseph Emerson, of Mendon,
Mass., who removed to Concord on account of Mendon being destroyed by Indians. His
father was Thomas Emerson, the emigrant of Ipswich, Mass.; the names of his two sons,
Joseph and John, are on the records of Ipiwich, and his coat of arms is on his gravestone
(see N. E. H. G. Reg., vol. 2, p. 52 and the appendix of the life of Rev. Joseph Emer
son, of Wethersfield, Conn., by tis brother, Rev. Dr, Ralph Emerson, late professor in

Halls of Medford [Part Tenth). 461
During her widowhood of twelve years, she managed her family and
small farm very prudently with very limited means. She often asked
advice, but always relied on her own judgment. It'^was her custom to
read a portion of God's word in her family, morning and evening,
and lead them in prayer, all standing ; and also to ask God's bless
ing before eating while all were seated around the table, and of re
turning thanks before rising. Thus, steadfast in her acknowledg
ment of divine favors, and looking to God constantly for all bless
ings, she was peculiarly sustained, and her cares and burdens very
much lightened. During her last and lingering illness (a kind of in
ward fever, to which she was always subject), her mind was calm
and serene, trusting in God, and by no means complaining or exact
ing, or requiring any unnecessary service. And when the day of
death came, she seemed to be sensible of the wonderous reality of
bidding adieu to all she loved on earth, and of going to be with
Christ, which is far better ; and her eyes were bright and expressive
until she passed away, without a struggle or a groan, like the clear
shining of the setting sun, which biddeth good night and is gone to
be a rising sun in the far off land.

Mrs. Hannah Hall, was Ama Fletcher, who was a feeble woman, very sensitive and affec
tionate ; she was the daughter of Deacon Joseph Fletcher, of Dunstable, the son of Captain
Joseph and Sarah (Adams) Fletcher, of Westford, the son of Joshua and Sarah (Willy)
Fletcher, of Chelmsford, the son of William and Lydia (Bates) Fletcher, of Concord, the

William Moody, who came from Wales to Ipswich, 1633, and to Newbury, 1635. The
wife of Peter Emerson was Anna, daughter of Captain John Brown, called Esquire Brown,
of South Reading, whose wife was Elizabeth, daughter of the distinguished Rev. John
Fiske, the emigrant, and minister of Salem and Wenham, Mass., b. in England, 1601.
The wife of Rev. Joseph Emerson, of Mendon and Concord, was Elizabeth, daughter of
Rev. Peter Bulkley, D. D., and his wife, Jane Allen, the emigrant from Odell, England, to

Mass., b. 1583 ; he was the son of Rev. Edward Bulkley, D. D,, of Odell, England, the

for ten years. He was deputy sheriff in 1833, and became alderman
for one year, after which he would not accept of any office.

way in one these visits Nov. 27, 1875, when he stopped at the house
of his son-in-law, Mr. Sloss, and feeling faint, reclined upon the
sofa, when he soon expired. Capt. Blood had a noble presence, and
was guided by principles of unswerving integrity in all of his inter
course with his fellow men and he possessed good judgment with
great force of character. He was willing to work, and made his
labors result in success. Rev, Dr. Nichols said of him in his funeral
discourse : " A just and good man, honored and beloved by all, has
been taken from us. One of the oldest of the surviving citizens,
who helped to lay the foundations of this imperial city ; his death
is the removal of an ancient landmark. His life was all of a piece,
the life of an honest man ; men confided in him and were not be
trayed. The wealth that he gained he honestly earned, let us honor
his memory, for such men do not live in vain. He was a man of
decided convictions, although quiet and unobstrusive in his manners,
yet he was one of those resolute souls whom nothing could shake
when once determined ; such men are rock men, and instead of drift
ing with the current, they shape its course. He was a companionable
man, possessing a sweet cheerful temper, a sincere heart, and patient
soul, delighting in tbe company of little children as though a child's
heart was his. He was a christian man, a man of prayer, he loved
the prayer meeting, tbe sanctuary, and company of christians. But
he relied not on his own righteous life, he was remarkably humble,
and rested only in the righteousness of his Redeemer, Old age,
with him was like a mellow autumnal sunset, all aglow with golden
light, and full of peace. For such a man death is gain , and the
hope of heaven glorious. Then let us treasure up these traits of our
brother for our profit, for there is nothing more worthy of our study
than the lives of men ; they are more instructive than books.
How precious is the legacy of a good man's life, and memory " !
The mortal remains of Capt, Blood were buried in BeUefontain
cemetery. It is worthy of remark, that his wife was a fit com
panion for such a man, and he showed his good judgment and force of
wUl and energy of character in returning from a far country, in those
days of difficult travel, for the sake of obtaining a treasure which
proved to him, more precious than diamonds and gold. His success

theology with Rev, Dr. J. Bushnell, of CornwaU, Vt., and was or
dained a Congregational minister, with a view to becoming a mis
sionary to the Cherokee Indians ; but circumstances forbidding his
cherished desire in this respect, he became the pastor of the Presby
terian church at Hampton, in the town -of Westmoreland, Oneida
Co., N. Y., about 1823, where he labored until 1833 ; his pastorate
was very acceptable and uncommonly useful ; he was untiring in his
diligence, zeal and fidelity ; his sermons and prayers were full of
the spirit, direct and effectual. He sought to do his best, from day
to day, to glorify the Gospel of the grace of God. He was a man
of strong convictions, and showed a singular courage in maintaining
them. Seeing the demoralizing tendency of the prevailing use of
intoxicating drinks, he formed a temperance society in his parish,
the second that was formed in the State of New York, west of Al
bany. He was very benevolent, and gave freely according to his
means to every good cause ; and so far from being greedy of gain,
he often suffered in his dealings, submitting, without controversy, to
unrighteous charges. In 1833 he became an agent for the Home
Missionary Society, in which service he visited annually the churches
in seventeen counties in central and eastern New York ; and his
usefulness became as extensive as was his work. He was highly
esteemed as far as known for his christian consistency, good judg
ment and fervent piety. His faniily were located for several years
at Utica, N. Y., and then removed to Clinton, N, Y,, that his
children might enjoy better educational advantages. At the death of
his first wife he was left desolate and afflicted, and really sick, with
a family of children to be cared for. This led him to contract a
second marriage, in a few months, with Julia, widow of Robert
Wilson, and dau, of Rev, J, B, Preston, of Rupert, Vt., with whom
he lived but one month, when he was called away by death, it being
only about eleven months after the death of his first wife.
Hannah E. (Hall) Crane was educated at the female seminary of
her uncle Rev. Joseph Emerson, in Byfield, Mass. ; and after the
death of her father she established a select school at home, where
she was very successful, and especially useful to her younger brothers.
She possessed much energy of purpose and decision of character,
blended with great beauty of person and loveliness of disposition ;
none knew her but to love her, she was a kind hearted sister, a
devoted wife, and loving mother ; indeed her kind sympathy was not
confined at home, although she made her home a happy one,
and drew many to it who needed to share for a time in its comforts ;

her heart was with the poor and the needy, the downcast and
suffering ; she sympathized deeply with the oppressed and the en
slaved, and opened her doors and her hospitality to those who
labored for its extinction ; her death was greatly lamented, not only
by her family and near of kih, but by all of her acquaintances, both
the high and the low, the rich and the poor, saint and sinner. Rev.
Abijah and Hannah E. (Hall) Crane were both lovely in their lives,
and not far separated in their deaths. Their bodies lie in Clinton
graveyard ; they sleep peacefully in Jesus, awaiting the quickening
of a blessed resurrection, while their souls are gone to their exceeding
great and rich reward in heaven. Children were :

Dec. 30, 1828 ; she m., 2d, Mr. Powell, a returned missionary, and
died about 1866. .She was a womah of uncommon force of char
acter, of distinguished intellectual ability and amiability of disposition;
she possessed an undoubted faith in the doctrines of Christianity and
was endowed with a fervent zeal for their promotion and advance
ment. Mr, Crane was trained to strict obedience, and exact truth
fulness, and was admitted to the church of Clinton at an early age ;
he graduated at Hamilton College with the first honor of his class in
1841, after which he engaged in teaching the academy at Owego,
N, Y. ; also studied law with his Uncle Willis Hall, then of Albany,
who was confident that Edwin would become eminent as a judge,
however he decided to becorhe a minister ofthe Gospel, and entered
Auburn Theological Seminary in 1848, and graduated in 1851 ; while
in the seminary he considered it to be his duty to devote himself to
the cause of foreign missions, consequently he offered his services to
the A. B, C. F. M,, to be sent to any field of labor where they
might consider his services most needed ; he was sent to Oroomia,
Persia, and was assigned to the mountain district of Garwar and
stationed at Memiken, where he labored with much success for about
two years, when constrained by a sense of duty he rode fifteen miles
to see the sick governor of Dizza, of whom he took the typhus fever,
and died in two or three weeks ; thus this learned and conscientious
and amiable young missionary was called to his rest, and his reward,
in the early morning of his work ; his classmates in the theological semi
nary were Prof, Eells and Prof, Morris of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati,
and President Seelye of Amherst College ; Prof, Eells was his class
mate and roommate both in college and seminary. ' Children were, i

he engaged as teacher of the academy in Norwich, Conn., for a short
time, and then commenced the study of law with Judge Gould of
Litchfield, Conn., which he completed with Judge Johnson, in
New York. After being admitted to the bar in 1827, he com
menced the practice of his profession at Mobile, Ala., but in 1832,
he established himself in New York, where he rose to disrinction
in his profession and as a leader, orator and statesman. In 1836, he
was elected by the Whig party to the legislative assembly at
Albany, as one of the representatives of the city and county of New
York. This assembly was noted. for its large number of able men..
As chairman of the committee on banks and banking, he introduced
a bill which became a law, entirely changing the system of banking.
It consisted of two main features ; the first was to make the privi
lege of banking free, in order to stimulate enterprize and industry ;
the second was to guarantee the redemption of bank bills, by obliging
banks of issue to deposit coUateral securities with the comptroller of
the state. Both of these provisions of the law were subsequently
adopted by the Federal government, and have become the settled
policy of the nation.
In the fall of 1838, Mr. Hall was appointed to the office of
attorney general in Gov. Seward's cabinet, and in all the duties of
the several departments connected with the office, he conducted
himself with such suavity of manners and distinguished ability that
he received the highest commendation. Hon. Thurlow Weed,
whose judgment of men was very accurate, said that WiUis Hall
was a brilliant genius, and Gov. Seward said in making choice of
Willis Hall as his attorney he made no mistake. There were two

matters of great importance that required his attention, which had
come down from the former . administration, they were the anti-rent
troubles in the manorage of Rensselaerwick and the Canada border
difficulties. Mr. Hall investigated the first and devised a plan of
settlement, equitable in its nature and at the same time reducing the
objectionable features of those ancient leases and bringing them into
accordance with American principles. This plan was subsequently
carried into effect by legislative and judicial action, and the troubles
were ended. With regard to the Canada border difficulties, Mr.
Hall gave his official opinion that Canadians committing depredations
in the state might be tried in the state, in the proper courts, for their
offences if they could be . arrested within its borders. This opinion
ivas approved by the authorities at Washington, but the next adminis
tration at Washington disapproved of it. When Alexander Mc Leod,
a Canadian, had been arrested at Buffalo and indicted for the murder
of Amos Durfee, a- citizen of the state of New York, Lord Pal
merston, Prime Minister of England, and Daniel Webster, Secretary
of State at Washington, demanded Mc Leod on habeas corpus, the
case was tried by the Supreme Court of New York and the correct
ness of Mr. Hall's opinion was sustained, and Mc Leod was tried at
Utica, in 1841, and was cleared, having clearly proved an alibi.
These trials involved national interests, and a perfect knowledge of
international law, but they gave to Attorney General Hall a favora
ble and more than national reputation. After Mr. Hall's term of
office had ended, he still continued to reside at Albany, and was
elected a representative of that city and county to the legislature for
the next year. The part which he took in that assembly may be
found by reference to its documents.
His combined duties political and legislative, proved too exhausting
for his strong and vigorous constitution. The path of more eminent
success in political life seemed open to him, when in the autumn of
1843. ^^ *^* struck down by an attack of apoplexy resulring in
paralysis of bis left side ; from this he never fully recovered but his
mind remained clear, and active. While temporarily absent in
Cuba, he received the nomination for governor of the State of New
York, which honor, however he was obliged to decline on account
of his impaired health. In the presidential campaign of 1844, he
was nominated by the Whig party for elector-at-large on the Clay
ticket. He was not only a zealous political supporter of Henry
Clay's, but his warm personal friend. In the same year he resumed
his professional duties in the city of New York, and was elected

counsellor to the board of aldermen. He was also professor in the
law school at Ballston, New York, In March 1847, ^^ married in
New York, Mrs. Handly, widow of an English officer. She was an
English lady of noble family, remarkably gifted and highly accom
plished. After residing for several years in New York and Albany,
he traveled with his family for three years in Europe,
After his return to New York he retired from public life, and
devoted much time to reading, keeping pace with the rapid progress
in various departments of knowledge ; but he was most keenly in
terested in studying those forces whose results would effect the
nation's prosperity, especially as great troubles grew more menancing,
and culminated in civil war ; that high toned patriotism, the inspira
tion of his younger years, never waned, and now, that the infirmities
of age compelled him to retire from the field of action, his heart was
StUl in the struggle ; from the quiet of his library, he looked on,
with the far seeing eye of a statesman, foUowing the movements of
the armies, and gave opinions as to results, which were prophetic,
¦He usually passed his summer among those picturesque hills, over
looking Nyack-on-the-Hudson ; he loved those "rocks and rills,"
those " woods and templed hills," and that noble river, not only
because he gloried in being " an American citizen," but because his
heart ever thrilled, responsive to all that was beautiful or grand in
nature ; his eminent social qualities, genial nature, courteous manners
and noble bearing, hife brilliant genius and lofty magnanimity made
him leader and favorite in every circle in which he moved ; yet,
possessing to a large degree, that true modesty, ever the companion
of true greatness ; none came within the sway of his influence, without
being impressed by its elevating power; his great heart had sympathy
for all his kind, even the dumb animals found a friend in him. His
death occurred at the house of his younger brother Dr, Edwards Hall,
after an iUness of a few days, not considered by himself as very
serious, being overcome by the severe heat of the season, but its
suddenness was according to his desire which he had often expressed,
for he dreaded to be long sick, and he looked for a brighter and
a better state of existence in the world to come through faith in
Jesus Christ ; his body was laid in Woodlawn cemetery, dust to dust,
ashes to ashes, until the morning of a glorious resurrection,

of the Quaker persuasion. Mr. Hall was then living at Hudson, a
few miles from Bloomington, where he located a quarter-section and
spent several years getting it into cultivation, and left it a little before
a raUroad was constructed through it, consequently failed of realizing
the benefit of the rise in the price of real estate ; he returned to
the homestead in Granville, N. Y., in 1848, and slate quarries on
it becoming valuable, rendered his pecuniary condition quite com
fortable. When he was young he learned the art of dentistry,
which he practiced for many years ; he was a very tall, broad
shouldered man, large frame and of a spare form, dark brown and
massive hair which held its color without much change to the last,
dark grey and partially hazel eyes, and prominent features ; he was
a man of much intelligence and a great reader, was an elder in the
Presbyterian church, the same which had been Congregational, and
of which his father had been pastor ; he was a very kind man, and
a good neighbor. Children b. in Hudson were :

482 Hall Genealogy.
Delphine E. DeOlin, who was born in Bordeaux, France, and was a
niece of Louis DeOlin, an officer in the French army starioned at
Mobile, their fourth child was Delphine E., who became the wife of
Daniel E. HaU, she was a woman of superior intellect, ardent affec
tion and graceful manners. Mr, Hall was a man of great energy
and self reliance, and endurance ; he lived with his uncle Jonathan
Hall when he was eight years old, and at ten he lived with his
maternal grandfather in Hollis for whom he was named ; on one
occasion he did not do just as his grandfather desired or expected, and
soon after by way of punishment he brought from Boston a new hat for
Daniel ; this subdued the boy much more effectually than a severe
flogging would have done, and it illustrates the disposition of both
grandfather and grandson ; in his teens he was not afraid of hard work,
evidently determined to do something and to become something in the
world ; he Succeeded by bis own efforts in preparing for college and
then obtained a loan from his uncle Rev, Dr. Ralph Emerson, Prof, in
Andover Theological Seminary (as his brother Willis had previously
done), which enabled him to study four years in Yale College and to
graduate in 1834 ; he studied law with his brother Willis in New
York, and settled at Mobile, where he soon had a practice of $10,000
a year ; in 1844 he visited the north with his family, the thought of
the coming war seemed to be uppermost in his mind, and he used
his influence in private conversation and to some extent in public
speeches, in favor of the election of Henry Clay to the office of
president of the United States, hoping thereby, if successful, to avert
the dreadful conflict ; but we at the north did not suppose such a
calamity possible, and had it not been for such a general sentiment
of security. Clay probably would have been elected and the conflict
might have been avoided ; he could not bear the thought of the
fratricidal strife which his keen foresight plainly saw in the not
distant future. He did all he could to prevent it, out it came, yet
he did not see it ; he was mercifully taken away from the evil to
come. He was an earnest matter of fact man, and took things as
they were, not as he would like to bave them ; he was brave, even
bold in defence, and would not brook wrong ; there was no duplicity
in his nature, nor was his mind unbalanced in the least by any very
large degree of irnagination or fancy. The bent of his mind was
realistic and yet he had a kind heart, and a tender sympathy and very
ardent affections ; he wished well to his kindred, and was willing to
demonstrate it by deeds of substantial value. His children were bap
tized^ in the Presbyterian church; the surviving children were:

Cotton, the first minister of Boston. Mr, Hall graduated at Harvard
College, in 1722, and was ordained pastor of the church of Westford,
Nov, 15, 1727 ; the church was organized a little before on the same
day, and the town was incorporated Sept., 1729, and taken off from
the west part of Chelmsford. Mr, Hall has been represented as a
pious and useful minister. Dr. Payson, the pastor of Chelsea, spoke
in strong terms of the gratification of having been acquainted with him,
and mentioned the clearness and strength of his mind as remarkable ;
he not only acted as a minister but as a physician, the necessity of
the times requiring it, this greatly extended his usefulness as weU as
his labors ; he looked well to the general welfare of the people of
the town, and consequently was a strenuous advocate for common
schools and general education ; when the town on one occasion con
sidered it expedient on a special emergency not to lay the required
school tax, he complained to the general court of the neglect, and
arraigned the people of his charge (the town) for their delinquincy ;
his action in the matter offended many, as he knew it would, but he
would not allow the law in favor' of supporting schools to be set
aside on any emergency, and would make no compromise with de-

Knquincy in this matter. Mr. Hall, like ministers in his day, owned
a good farm ; he had a fine taste in agriculture, and cultivated fruit
trees, plums, apricots, peaches, pears, apples, currants, black, white
and red ; his garden, his orchard, and his fields bore witness to his
skill and industry years after 'his death. His pastorate was a long
one, ending only with bis death, including a period of fifty-one years.

m., 2d, in 1826, Harriet Hilliard.- a most excellent woman who sur
vived him. Of the early hfe of Mr. Hall but httle is known except
that he had to walk two miles to school, and that he attended the
Academy and was thoroughly prepared for college ; entered Harvard
CoUege in 1795, and graduated in 1799, a thorough scholar, and pos
sessing the best of morals. He began the study of law in the office
of Judge Dana at Groton, in 1800, and continued three years, when
in 1803, he was admitted to the bar of Hillsboro Co., N. H, He
had now a good foundation in every respect for a career of future
usefulness and success. As New England had more lawyers than
were needed, he sought a more open field in the §tate of Delaware,
where he was admitted to the bar, and in the month of May, 1803,
settled in practice at Dover. His success, though slow, was pro
gressive and enduring. His manner, was in argument to grasp firm-

ly the governing principles of the case in hand, and to present them
lucidly and forcibly, compelling conviction, and neglected the com
mon arts of oratory. He sought not the applause of his hearers,
but their assent. He was singularly painstaking in preparation, and
always prompt in his engagements. In i8i2, Mr. Hall was appointed
by the governor, secretary of state. In 1816 and 1818 he was
elected representative to congress. But congressional life was not
congenial to his taste and he declined a third nomination. In 1821,
he was again appointed secretary of state. In 1822, he was elected
a member of the state senate. And on the 6th day of May, 1823,
he was appointed by president Monroe, district judge for Delaware
which office he held with distinction for 48 years, giving in his res
ignation in Dec, 1871. In 1824, he was requested by the legislature
to revise and digest the statutes of the state. The work required
great legal discrimination and good judgment. The laws then ex
tended through six large volumes and were greatly confused by
various acts of legislature, Mr. Hall reduced the whole to one
octavo volume, which he submitted in 1829, and gave great satisfac
tion, no farther revision was found necessary until 1852. In 1830,
he was unanimously elected as a delegate to the state constitutional
convention, in which he was a very efficient member. Mr, Hall may
be considered the father of the present public school system of the
state of Delaware, It was his duty while secretary of state in 1822,
to take into consideration the school laws, and he remodeled the
whole system, and watched over it, and amended it, and nourished
and strengthened it, and made it efficient and of incalculable advan
tage to the people, and to the state. He was engaged in the interest
of education for 48 years. He also took an interest in the state
Bible society and was its p;-esident thirty years, resigning in 1870,
and was connected with it and gave service to it for 18 years pre
vious. Its efficiency and usefulness is largely due to his labors,
counsels, and example. Judge Hall was also president of the Wil
mington Savings-Fund Society, from its organization in 1832, until
a very advanced age. It is a noble charity, solely for the benefit of
persons of small sayings and without profit to those who conduct
it.. He was president for many years of the state colonizarion
society. Also he gave an ardent support from the first to the tem
perance society. He was a ruling elder and a sabbath school teacher
in the Presbyterian church, and was prompt and faithful in all the
duties implied in being a Christian, and an office bearer in the church
of Christ. In the wide and comprehensive range of his philan-

526 ' Hall Genealogy.
thropy, he missed no opportunity to do good in his public relations or
in a private way. He was always accessible and proved to be a judi
cious counselor and a warm friend. His powers were well preserv
ed until his 90th birthday, and he kept abreast of the times, and was
always fresh, and able to perform the duties of any occasion, but
during the succeeding winter he began to fail, and the ensuing
period of four or five years was one of passive endurance rather than
active life. In personal appearance he was rather below the average
stature and slightly built, with a naturally quick movement, signifi
cant of purpose ; his countenance was strongly expressive of both
intelligence and benignity, and his whole aspect for a generation, in
his old age, was exceptionally venerable. His was a character of
beautiful symmetry, a full, and harmonious development of all his
faculties. The above sketch is principally taken from the Memorial
Address on the life and character of Judge Hall, dehvered in 1879,
by Hon. Daniel M. Bates before the Historical society of Delaware;
of which Judge Hall was the first president.

Halls of Rehoboth. 527

HALLS OF REHOBOTH, MASS.
The emigrant ancestor was :
{Family i.) Edward Hall': probably the freeman of 1636, at
Salisbury. He was at Duxboro, Mass., in 1636, 7, 8 ; at Brain
tree, Mass., 1640 ; at Taunton, Mass., 1641 ; at Duxboro again
1642 and 3 ; at Bridgwater, Mass., perhaps 1644, where allotment
was made to him 1645, March 28. It is beheved that he owned
1-54 part of the town from 1645 to 1650, when he withdrew ; had
land apportioned to him in Rehoboth, 1645 ; mention is made o
goodman Hall of Duxboro, by John Gove of Charlestown, Mass.,
in his wiU made in 1647 (see N. E. G, H. Reg., vol. 7, p. 170).
The administrators of the will of John Gove, viz. : Samuel Scar
borough, John Gove of Roxbury, and Richard Hall, gave bond,
Oct. 26, 1693 (see vol. 31, p, 104, Gen. Reg.). Edward HaU had
a family in Braintree, Mass., from 1650 to 1655. He removed to
Rehoboth, 1655, where he was No. 41 out of 49 persons who drew
in order of the settlers estates, for meadow lands which lie on the
north side of the town, at town meeting of Rehoboth, held June
22, 1658. Lots were also drawn May 26, 1668, for meadow lands
in the north purchase, now Attleboro, Cumberland, R. I,, and parts
of Norton and Mansfield, The name of John Woodcock, was
next to that of Edward Hall in both drawings. (A daughter of
Andrew Hall of Newton, married Mr. Woodcock, of Bridgwatfer.)
Edward HaU made his wUl Nov. 23, 1670, died Nov. 27, 1670.
His estate was valued at X84. The name of his wife was Esther
or Hester, who survived him. The proprietory records of Rehoboth
credits Edward Hall with a 50 pound right of commonage in 1658.
And the widow, Hester Hall with the same right in 1671 ; and
John Hall with the same in 1685, and with only one-half from 1697
to 1715. "Married in Rehoboth, Dec. 24, 1674, Thomas Jordan
and Esther HaU." It is possible this was the widow of Edward
Hall, but probably his daughter, yet there are no births of Thomas
Jordan's children recorded in Rehoboth, The children of Edward
and Hester Hall were born in Rehoboth, except the first two who
were born in Braintree :

tanner and shoemaker, where his brother Benjamin was an apprentice ;
and in 1810, at the marriage of his brother Jonathan C, he went to live
with him, and remained four years, after which he studied at several
schools to prepare for college, and then went to live with his uncle
Dr. Nathan Smith, whose first wife was Elizabeth, the dau. of Gen.
Jonathan and Thankful (Sherman) Chase. Dr. Smith was professor
of surgery at Yale College, and James Hall lived with him three
years and studied medicine, while assisting him as steward at his
house. Dr, Smith also gave lectures at Bowdoin College, Me., in
which James Hall was his assistant and dissector, and graduated there
in 1822, and settled in the practice of medicine at Claremont, N,
H,, where he m, a Miss Sumner ; he afterwards removed to Wind
sor, Vt,, and boarded in the family of Jonathan HaU, whose son
Israel, m. two of his nieces. He had a good practice in Windsor
for two years, when in 1829, his left knee became affected with
rheumatism and he has been under the necessity of using a crutch
and a cane ever since ; the following winter he spent in Cuba, W,
L, and having seen enough of slavery in Cuba, he spent the next two
winters (those of 1830 and 31), in Hayti ; from the next June to No
vember, he was laid up in the Infirmary at Baltimore, Md., when
hearing that a vessel was about to sail for Liberia, Africa, with
emigrants, he applied for a passage, and was taken on a mattrass in
a carriage to the vessel ; he then weighed 91 lbs,, with boots and
overcoat, etc; his three medical attendants gave their opinion of him
as follows : Dr. Wright said, '' Mr. Hall will never reach the Cape of
Chesapeake;" Dr, Baker said, " he will not reach the coast of Africa;"
but Dr, Smith who better linderstood Dr, Hall's will power, said " he
will arrive safely,' but will fall with the coast fever," He arrived at
Monrovia after a passage of thirty days and had gained a litde over
a pound a day ; and during his stay of two years was able to do
efficient professional work in the colony ; soon after his return to
America, June, 1833, he was commissioned by the Maryland Colo
nization Society under the state patronage to found a new colony at
Cape Palmas, having visited the cape tbe year previous and brought
it to the notice of the public as a place favorable for such an enter
prize ; In Nov., 1833, he set sail from Baltimore in the Brig Ann,
and was successful in purchasing the territory desired and in planting
the colony or state, of which he remained in charge as governor until
June, 1836; he then chartered a vessel and traded on the coast for
the next four years ; in 1840, he accepted a general agency of the
Maryland Colonization Society, having the main direcrion of its

The duties of this position together with that of commercial agent of
the American Colonization Society he continued to discharge for
over twenty years, and until the breaking out of the war in 1861,
since which Maryland emigration has ceased, and Dr, Hall has
rendered only occasional service to the American Colonization
Society, While in Africa Dr, Hall built a ship for a merchant citizen
of Liberia, which bore his name (James Hall), and on the stern of
which was carved a crutch and a hooked cane as his coat of arms.
He devoted nearly forty years of his life to the cause of African
Colonization ; not however as an advocate of any general deporta
tion of the colored people of this country, but for the relief it afforded
to the manumitted in the days of slavery, and the colonization of
Africa. {Family 47.) Timothy Hall', Timothy*, Preserved', Benjamin',

{Family 1 00.) David N. Hall', Luther*, Nathan', Nehemiah*,
John', Andrew', Edward': b. in Sutton, July 5, 1818, In very
early life he exhibited a rare love of books and study, and was
generally at the head of his classes in school ; his father was greatly
pleased and determined to give him a liberal education in hope that he
would become a minister of the Gospel, and fervently prayed many
years that such might be the case. He graduated at Yale College
in 1839, with the first honors of his class, one member of which
was United States senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, another is the
Rev, I. N, Tarbox, of Boston, In December, 1839, he embarked on
shipboard at Boston, for Mobile, Ala,, and when at sea but a few
hours a violent storm arose, and he was shipwrecked, but finally
escaped alive and was at home again in a few days ; yet not content,
he re-shiped and arrived safely at Mobile ; from there he went up the
Tombigbee river to Columbus, Miss,, where he engaged in teach
ing school for a year ; at the same time he studied law, and was ad
mitted to the bar, but as his health failed he was constrained to go
farther north, and in 1841 he settled at St, Louis, Mo,, where, after
a hard struggle with adverse circumstances, he succeeded in establish
ing himself in a lucrative business. In the spring of 1847, he was
appointed by Gov. Edwards, circuit attorney for the county, and
afterwards was strongly recommended as a fit appointment to suc
ceed Judge Blair, of the court of common pleas, and in the summer
of 1850, he received the nomination for the state senate, but being
absent from the state, and unable to attend personally to the canvass,
he lost his election. After an absence of more than eight years, he
returned to his native place and married, Aug, 29, 1847, Sarah

mouth), They had long been engaged, and had constantly cor-

responded, and the interest of the meeting can better be imagined
than described. It is said that there never was such a meeting in
Sutton, They met to part no more till death should separate them
for a little while ; and they left their native place and friends together,
never to return. She died at her home in St, Louis, Jan. 13, 1849,
at the age of 27, and her child, born and died the day before, was
laid upon her bosom and buried with her. This was the severest
trial of his life, even so ^reat, that he longed to depart and be with
his beloved dead ; continual sickness followed, and his desire was
granted, he died March 29, 1 85 1, ae. 33 years, and was buried in
Christ cemetery, St. Louis,

in the service he contracted a physical disability which has caused him
much sickness and suffering ever since ; he was appointed magistrate
by Gov. Briggs in 1864 ; for the sake of a more congenial climate
he went to Philadelphia, and engaged in business, where he remained
four years ; and then went to New Orleans and engaged in the

562 Hall Genealogy.
Benjamin', Edwafd': Bezaleel Barton was the son of Peter Barton,
who, with his brothers Benjamin and Bezaleel, came to Croydon
from Sutton, Mass.; and Ezekiel Powers, Sen., came from Grafton,
formerly a part of Sutton, and was the son of Lemuel and Thankful
(Leland) Powers, of Grafton, Mass. (See History of Sutton, and The
Granite Monthly, vol. 2d, No. 8, published at Concord.) Levi
Winter Barton, was b. in Croydon, March i, 1818 ; m., ist, 1839,
Mary A. Pike, of Newport, a lady of great worth, who d. in 1840,
leaving one son five days old ; m., 2d., 1852, Lizzie F. Jewett, of
Hollis, N. H., a young lady of culture, learning and good sense ;
Mr. Barton early learned the lesson of self-reliance, and the necessity
of economy, and a proper use of time, which was the foundarion of
his future success in life ; before his first marriage he attended
Unity Academy long enough to fit him for teaching school, which he
afterwards found occasion to do for many terms ; and after his great
bereavement by her death, he formed the resolution to obtain a
thorough education ; he had a capital to begin with of only 100
dollars ; he spent three years at Kimball Union Academy, teaching
winters, and doing manual labor in vacations ; he entered Dartmouth
College in 1844 > ^'^ father d. when he was quite young and his
mother was poor, but was able by unusual tact and energy to bring
up ber children, and Levi had to depend upon his own resources;
he spent four years in college, teaching in winters and doing manual
labor in vacation, and graduated with honorable mention in the
public journals ; during bis senior year he studied law with Hon.
Daniel Blaisdell, of Hanover ; he then taught the Canaan Academy
five terms and at the same time studied law with Judge Kittredge; in
1851 he began to study in the office of Metcalf & Corbin, of Newport,
and was admitted to the bar in July of that year, and settled in practice
in that place ; the energy, perseverance and ability which had borne him
through his courseof study, demonstrated what his future success would
be ; the hardest part of life's battle was fought and the future con
quest was assured. When he began practice in Newport there were
five able lawyers already occupying the field, and while waiting for
business he taught school and was not afraid of being starved out ;
he knew what industry and economy meant. The people soon had
reason to have confidence in his ability as a lawyer as well as school
teacher and as a man; he was taken by Gov. Metcalf as a law
partner, and soon arose to a level with the best. As a counselor he
is cautious and careful, dissuading his chents, rather than encouraging
them to engage in litigation ; as an advocate he is eloquent, zealous,

Halls of Rehoboth. 563
bold and persistent ; in his preparation of trial cases he has no supe
riors in the county. In 1863 he was elected to the legislature and
almost immediately became the acknoivledged leader of the majority ;
he was re-elected in 1864 and still held the same position, and also
in 1875, '76 and '77, and was a member of the senate in 1867
and 68. During his entire term of service in both branches, he was
a member of the judiciary committee, and for five years its chairman.
In 1875 and 1876 he was chairman of the republican legislative
caucus, the labors of which were both extremely difficult and im
portant ; in 1876 he was a member of the convenrion to revise the
constitution of the state, and one of the republican electors of the
president and vice-president of the United States ; and has held other
offices of great responsibility. He is an experienced legislator and
is considered well able and deserving of a place in the congress of
the United States. '' Mr. Barton is a ready debator, quick to see a
point and take it, suave and considerate at all times and ready to take
a hand in any discussion affecting the public weal ; his cheerful voice,
striking in upon a dull or an acrimonious debate has a pleasing and
moUifying effect. Although careful and cautious, he has positive
ideas, and is aggressive in their maintenance, and although sometimes
sharp in his personal sallies they are singularly free from bitterness
or mahce, and no one could hold resentment against him ; on all
moral questions he is foremost with voice and influence and vote."
It was said of him in 1877, that he was the best preserved man in
the house and judging from his looks and appearance one would say
that he was at least ten years the junior of men of his age ; he has
no bad habits, and never has indulged in the use of intoxicating
liquors or tobacco in any form ; he is a kind neighbor, and strongly
attached to his friends, generous to his opponents and social with all ;
in religion he is a worthy member of the Methodist church and has
always taken a strong interest in whatever affects the moral, social,
or material prosperity of those around him, and is always ready to
lend a helping hand in every good work. Children were :

THE HALLS OF TAUNTON, MASS.
George Hall' and his wife Mary {Family i), were the ancestors
of the Halls of Taunton. They emigrated, it is said, from Devon
shire County, England, in 1636-7. George Hall is recorded as
proprietor of land in Duxbury, Mass., in 1637, about the date of his
settlement in " Cohannet," — Taunton ; he was one of the forty-six
original proprietors of the first territorial " purchase " of the Indian
Sachem Massasoit, including a tract of eight miles, (an oblong,
square, being the present territory of Taunton, Berkley, Raynham,
extending to Mansfield) ; he had a twelve acre share, in connection with
Richard Williams, John and Walter Dean and others, who had simUar
shares, spanning Taunton river, on the banks of which they erected
their first humble dwellings and were neighbors and friends for lifetime.
The selection of their homesteads included the most eligible land of
the purchase, on what is now Dean street ; the land skirting the
banks of the river had been cultivated by the Indians for years ; and
these homesteads have been successively transmitted from ancestors to
descendants nearly two hundred years, of whom the sixth, seventh
and eighth generations are now owners and residents. George Hall
was one of the founders of the town of Taunton iii 1639, was pro
pounded as a freeman in 1643 ; and enrolled to bear arms that year ;
admitted as a freeman in 1645, and was constable of the town the
same year; he was a member of the board of the supervising council,
of which William Pole was chairman, in 1657, and was chairman of
the board of selectmen (established by the colonial court in 1662),
from 1666 to 1669, the time of his decease; he was one of the
founders ofthe Pilgrim Congregational church and society of Taunton,
and contributed liberally to its support ; also one of the stock pro
prietors of the first iron " bloomery " established in this region by the
Leonards and other citizens of Taunton, upon the site of the present
"old forge" now in Raynham; he was its first clerk in 1656, con
tinuing several years in that capacity, and was succeeded after his
death by his son John. In October, 1669, he was taken seriously iU ;
he called his friends. Deacons Richard Williams and Walter Dean,
and made his will on the i6th, witnessed by them, and died on the

568 Hall Genealogy.
30th of that month, aged about 69 years ; his widow Mary was
appointed executrix ; the will was probated in March, 1670. After
his death, his widow and sons John, Joseph and Samuel were share
holders in the iron works ; these works have been continued until
recently, over two hundred years. Soon after they were started,
bar iron manufactured there from native ore dug in the vicinity, was
made a " circulating medium " in business transactions and on account
ofthe scarcity of specie ; orders to that effect drawn by Rev. Samuel
Danforth, the fourth minister of Taunton, for a.portion of his salary, a
few years later, and by others for business purposes, are now in care
ful preservation. George Hall was one of the largest landholders in
Taunton, and divided it among his sons. They were also among
the proprietors of the large tract, called " Taunton North Purchase,"
which included the territory of the present towns of Norton, Easton
and portions of Mansfield and Raynham, upon which, many of their
descendants settled as farmers and businessmen ; more than a thousand
descendants now bear the ancestral name. The children mentioned
in the will of George Hall were :
I. John, b. ill 1640 (Family 2). 2. Joseph, b. in 1642 (Family
3). 3. Samuel, b. in 1644 (Family 4). 4. Charity. 5. Sarah.
6. Mary The town records were burned in 1838, hence the loss
of many valuable clues.

chase, which became Norton in 1711, and Easton in 1725. He
owned land and portion of a sawmill which he sold in 1724, and
also sold other land in 1828; after the death of his wife in 1826,
he was appointed guardian of bis children, who were minors, having
inherited large tracts of land (being a portion of the Taunton North
purchase), lying in Norton, then Easton, from their grandmother,
Katharine Dean, and aunt, Hannah Dean. Records show the sale
of that inheritance from time to time, after the heirs became of age.
In 1738, Isaac Hall, then in Dedham, Mass., with his sister Lydia,
wife of Thomas Morey, of Norton, sold their shares for ,£150.

sold his share for £60^ Abijah, then resident of Middletown, sold, in

his sons in Lyme. Records state that in 1760 (at the age of 79),
he acknowledged his deed of sale in 1724, before a magistrate in
Norton. In a deed of his first sale of land, in 1702 (inherited from

His life was an active and useful one, although he labored under
impaired health and weak eyes occasioned by a course of typhus fever
in 1808.
From his senior year in college to the end of his life he main
tained an eminent Christian character ; he made the Bible his daily
study, and derived from it wisdom, strength and consolation ; he was
for many years president of the Tolland County Bible Society ; he
was an upright man in body, soul and spirit ; he was devotedly
attached to his family, the society of his children was his delight and
their moral and mental improvement his constant care ; his opinion
was highly prized and sought for by the people, and it was a pleasure
to him to confer benefits upon all by every means in his power.
His pastor Rev. Mr. Eggleston preached two memorial sermons

Twenty years later, finding the unremitting labor attendant upon
successful legal practice, again impairing his health, he became in

9. David C, m. Miss Brown, and had two daughters and one
son, the son is dead, and the daughters have received a thorough
musical education in Europe.
Mr. David C. Hall is the agent and leader of HaU's band and
orchestra, organized in 1835, and an importer and manufacturer and
dealer in musical instruments, at 126 Court street, Boston, Mass.
Mr. Hall spent the season of 1879 with his band at Saratoga Springs,
where their musical entertainments were noticed with the highest
degree of praise.
10. Rodolph, b. July 22, 1824; m. Miss Morris, of Philadelphia,
Pa., and resided in Boston ; d. and his funeral ceremonies were held
in Lyme, N. H., Dec. 14, 1878. The memorial sermon was pub
lished. It represents him as possessed of the highest musical talents.
He began to appear in public musical entertainments at the age of
twelve years, nearly all instruments of music were at bis command,
but his chosen ones were the clarionet and cornet, of those he was a
perfect master ; for many years he was associated with Hall's band,
of Boston, led by his brother David C.  . No one who had
heard these two brothers play together, David with his gold bugle,
and Rodolph with his gold cornet, can ever forget the exquisite music
of their choice duets. Being of the most genial nature, and an
agreeable companion, he made many friends in all our New England
and inland cities, on the far Pacific coast, and also in the mother
land beyond the sea. Foreign courts and cities lavished their praises
upon him. At home and abroad he achieved the highest success.
The following is an extract from the testimony of the London
Court Circular, March 20, 1862: "Mr. Rodolph Hall has by his
inimitable performances, achieved for himself a European reputation.
The echo bugle, on which he displays his unsurpassed talent, he is
a perfect master of, and all who have heard his skillful performances
must admit that for beauty and accuracy none have ever equalled him
in bugle instrumentation. We are confident that the talent which Mr.
Hall has displayed in all his pieces, however difficult of execution
they may be, that he stands unsurpassed, and is truly deserving of
his well earned triumphs." \

Mr. Hall did not inherit a rugged physical constitution, yet by an
intelligent care of himself, he filled up a long life with a large
amount of activity and usefulness. He went to New York in
1799, and became a clerk of N. L. & G. Griswold, commission
and shipping merchants, whose niece became his first wife. In
1804 or 5, he entered into partnership with William HuU, and sub
sequently with John Griswold, and engaged in the shipping business,

British in 1812, the death of Mr, Hull and endorsements for other
houses, obliged them to close business.
Mr. Hall afterwards engaged in business in partnership with
Ephraim Robbins, but again failed by the injudicious transactions of
an agent in Cincinnati. The shipping business of those days was
very heavy and attended with great risks.
Mr. Hall became connected with the Brick church soon after he
removed to New York, and was one of the original members who
organized the Cedar street church, which stjll survives in one of its
branches under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. John Hall.

HALLS OF NEW HAVEN, CONN.
The following is from Savage's Genealogical Dictionary :
Daniel Hall, of New Haven, Conn., merchant, m., Nov. 16, 1670,

Appendix. 665
Mary, dau. of Henry Rutherford, and had Daniel, b. Aug. g, 1672,
d. in a few days ; Daniel again, b. June 4, 1674, and Rutherford,
b. April 21, 1675 ; he d. at Barbadoes in 1675, his widow m.
again Aug. 23, 1681, John Prout.
The following is from the History of Wallingford, Conn., p. 752 :
David Hall, son of John and Jane Hall, m. Mary Rutherford, of
New Haven, Nov. 11, 1670. Children: i. Daniel, b. Aug. g,
1672. 2. Rutherford, b. April 20, 1675.
This is evidently a mistake, for David the son of John, was b. in
March, 1652, and m., Dec, 1676, Sarah Rockwell. Seeing this I
concluded that Dr. Savage had given the name correctly as Daniel,
and naturally supposing that he was a son of John I gave it so in the
Halls of Wallingford, pp. 87, 89 ; but am not certain about its being
correct. Indeed I am inclined to believe that Dr. Savage was mis
taken in giving the name Daniel to either the father or his first two
sons ; I have seen an extract from the original records where all three
were given as David. .
And besides, the only Halls among the original proprietors of
Wallingford, were John Hall, Doctor Hall and David Hall. David
the son of John Hall, was too young at that time to be a proprietor.
Doctor Hall must have been Isaac Hall, the son of Francis, who
settled in Fairfield ; and David the merchant, might also have been
the son of Francis.

HALLS OF WINDSOR, CONN.
George Hall, a young man, was one of the company on board the
Mary and John, Capt. Squid, from Plymouth, Eng., to Dorchester,

In 1633 he went to trade with the Indians and finding them dying
with the small pox, returned, to Dorchester in 1634.
He made a large purchase of the Indians of land, which took the
name of Windsor.
His name is printed plainly on the deed, but there is a suspicion of
a mistake, and that the emigrant and purchaser of Windsor was
George HuU and not George Hall.

They were probably of Norse origin, Mrs, Mary E, Hall, of
Brookline, Mass., says : " I find in Ferguson's English Surnames,
the old Norse hallr, hals, and the Anglo-Saxon haela, haletta, all
signify hero ; and Hallr, Halli, and Hals appear as old Norse names
in the Sandnamabok, the first as common as the corresponding Hall
is with us,"
The following is an extract from a letter of Rev, Dr, John Hall,
of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York; he is from

He says : " The Halls were on both sides of the border between
England and Scotland ; were a rugged and sturdy set ; did not always
nicely distinguish between their own and their neighbors' cattle across
the border, ,
My ancestor was from the Scottish side of the border, and I am heir
to the place in Ireland to which the family came ; I am the sixth
generation in Ireland, and my name has been the name ofthe eldest
son of the family throughout ; my grandfather had a strong Scotch
accent, and his look and thought were all Scotch, But in my county,
• Armagh, there settledEnglish Halls of great respectability and worth,
and the owners of much landed property around the family place of
' Narrow Water Casde.' "

grated ; his second wife was Margaret Nesbeth, an American ; three
of his sixteen children were named John ; Thomas M, was by his
2d wife.
Ruth Hall, of Neshaminy, Bucks Co,, Pa,, a near relative ofthe
mother of the celebrated Dr, Benjamin Rush, of Philadelphia, m.
Rev. James Hunt, of Maryland, in whose family and under whose
sole instruction the celebrated William Wirt passed his early years;
one of their children was William Pitt Hunt ; he graduated at
Princeton College and was for a time a tutor in the institution ;
he became a lawyer, with whom William Wirt pursued his legal
studies ; he married Miss Susanna Watkins, dau. of Col. Joel
Watkins, of Charlotte, Va. They had four chUdren, one of
whom was Rev. Thomas Poage Hunt, b, in 1794, was sickly
in his youth, and much in company with his mother, and was in
structed, and greatly influenced by her ; he graduated at Hampden
Sidney College, in 1813, and studied theology with Dr. Moses
Hoge and Dr, John H. Rice ; he preached in Petersburgh and
Richmond, Va,, for a time, and then was agent for the Domestic
Missionary Society, and in 1828 was settled in Raleigh, N. C. His
ancestors had been most prominent in contending for religious liberty
in Virginia, and resisted tbe intolerance of the established church and
suffered much from a despotic power, because loyal to their convic
tions of right ; Mr. Hunt following the same convictions of right,
liberated in 1827 the slaves he had inherited. While under the
instruction of Dr. Rice, he had promised him that in his ministry he
would use all his influence against that vice which was making such
fearful ravages in the land ; in his preaching therefore he made the
subject of temperance prominent. Having served the church in
Raleigh two years, he entered upon what proved largely his fife's
work, that of lecturing on temperance ; in it he experienced much
rough usage, but he was brave as any hero, and equal to
any emergency. His lectures were exceedingly useful.
The following is the pedigree of the late W. W. HaU, of 40
Broadway, New York, the editor and proprietor of the Journal of
Health and author of several popular works on medicine and health ;
he studied for the ministry and began to preach, and when he mingled
with the people in the pursuit of his pastoral duties he found that
they suffered much for want of knowledge and care of themselves

Appendix. 671
and want of knowledge and skill in the application of simple
remedies ; this ignorance on the part of the people Dr, HaU con
sidered as a prolific source of great misery, he therefore turned his
attention to writing books to enlighten them and ameliorate their
condition; hewas b, on the Monongahela river in 1808, and was
the eldest child of Stephen Hall, who was b, on the Monongahela
river, Pa,, in 1787, his mother was an English woman from Devon
shire ; the father of Stephen Hall was Adam, who d. in 1814; the
father of Adam was Stephen, whose father was Adam, b. in Ireland
about 1728, and d, near Philadelphia ; he was a staunch Scotch precen
tor and disinherited his son Stephen at the age of twenty years
because he became a member of the Baptist church and m, a
Baptist wife ; Dr, W, W,, believed that his ancestors came
originally from near the border in Scotland and said they were of
a biUious temperament, high cheek bones and sour mouths, etc.

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE HALLS
OF WALLINGFORD.
By Henry A. Chaney, Esq., of Detroit, Mich.
Benjamin Hall {Family 36, p. 96) was for many years a delegate
from Wallingford to the Connecticut Colonial Assembly ; he held
all judicial offices from justice of the peace to a judgeship in the
court of last resort, th'en.known as the Superior Court of the Colony;
and he rose in military rank from being lieutenant in a trainband to
becoming colonel of the Tenth Regiment ; he was also " assistant "
for several years during the administration of Gov. Fitch, and in
1765, he, with Chief Justice Ebenezer Silliman, was among the
four conservative members of the council of assistants who sustained
the Governor in submitting to the Stamp Act, while the rest, led by
Jonathan Trumbull, refused to do so.

Samuel, who stood first in the class, Benjamin being third ; d. May

the facts that immediately after the Revolutionary war he named his
youngest son after Edmund Fanning, who had been one of the most
detested Tory leaders, and that after Fanning became lieutenant
governor of Nova Scotia, Hall was offered a grant of land in that
Province, give color to the statement. He m., April 16, ilbl,

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE HALLS
OF REHOBOTH,
{See page s^y. Family i).
There is no positive evidence that Edward HaU, of Braintree
and Rehoboth, was the same Edward who was at Salisbury in 1636,
or the Edward of Bridgewater, or the Edward of Duxboro, or of
Taunton. The Edward Hall of " Duxborrow," had a farm contig
uous to that of George Hall, afterwards of Taunton, " he built a
house upon it," and "had a garden plot." He appears to have been
a headstrong man, had law suits and difficulty with the authorities.
A quit claim deed dated in 1715, is found, in which the names of
Edward HaU's children are given. Samuel, of Taunton, Thomas of
Dedham, Andrew of Newton and Benjamin of Wrentham, re
linquished their claim to the estate of their father Edward Hall, and
mother Esther Hall, in Rehoboth and Attleboro, in favor of their
brothers John Hall of Rehoboth and Preserved Hall of Hingham.
{Family 2,) John Hall', Edward' : The number of his children
is not certain, or the order of their births, Mary, Esther and Hannah
gave their portions of their father's estate to their brother Edward
for £bo, to take care of their mother and invalid sister Martha.
And in 172 1, Edward Hall and sisters Mary, Esther, Hannah and
Martha, spinster, gave deed of property in Rehoboth to brother John
of Taunton. The word spinsters in the record should be in the
singular number and has reference only to Martha. John HaU'
of Taunton was not the Lt, John Hall who m, Hannah Penniman.
He sold a house in Rehoboth partly finished in 1722, and was in
Braintree in 1 763,
{See page 528.) Samuel Hall', Edward': b. in Rehoboth, Oct.
24, 1656, probably was that Samuel Hall, Jr., who was recorded in
Yarmouth as freeman in 1679; m., April 7, 1686, Elizabeth Bourn,
from a family of some distinction in the southern part of Bristol Co.,
he settled in Taunton, where he was recorded as Samuel Hall, Jr.,
removed to Middleboro where he sold several lots of land in Taun
ton, the deed for the last of which was signed by him and wife
Abigail, probably his 2d wife, he did not write his name but simply
made his mark. They had seven children born in Taunton and
probably others b. in Middleboro. He was probably buried in
Taunton.

Lawrence, b, in Geneseo, N, Y,, Oct, 12, 1800. Col, Lawrence
was the youngest son of Amos and Sarah Webster Lawrence, of
Milton, who was one of three brothers, sons of Joseph Lawrence of
Milton, Conn., and an emigrant from Wales. Col. Lawrence was
a man of resolute character and stern principles, and his daughter
Mrs. Hall inherited from him a love of fixed principles, bringing with
it great steadiness of purpose and direction of conviction. Hence all
her life through, her religious character was marked rather by a settled
calm faith than by impulse, by fidelity to duty in all its details than by
fitful enthusiasm ; she took great interest in helping with her influence
the weaker churches ofthe city of New York as well as sympathy with
her husband in his more extended work of home missions ; she was
more capable of self sacrifice than of self assertion ; her strength and
nobleness of character was tempered by unassuming grace and per
sistent affection and fidelity, Mr. Charles Hall's father, Jacob, was a
man of strong, well balanced mind, retiring manners and intelligent
pietv ; his mother possessed in a high degree that clearness of dis
crimination, and independence of judgment which was so fully de
veloped in her son ; Charles Hall spent his boyhood and youth in
Geneva, N. Y. ; he was modest and correct in his deportment, and
eajly exhibited a decided taste and aptness for study, and with a view
to engage in the Gospel ministry he entered tbe sophomore class in
HamUton College in 1821 and graduated in 1824, with the highest
honors of his class ; studied theology at Princeton Seminary, and in
1827 accepted the office of assistant secretary of the American Home
Missionary Society and in 1837 the office of co-ordinate secretary for
correspondence, in which he continued until his death ; he was emi
nently fitted for his life's work by his special interest in missions, his
great clearness of judgment and ready manner of expression, his dis
cernment of character, his-christian cheerfulness, his hearty sympathy,
his exact business habits, his fervent piety, and his self denying in
dustry ; his work was in laying the foundations of churches in all
parts of the land, and the thousands of churches fostered by the
agency of the Home Missionary Society, from the lakes to the gulf,
and from the highlands of Maine to the land of gold, constitute his
memorial. In private hfe he was all that intelligence, piety, a sense
of justice, refined manners, and tender sympathy could make him ; he
delighted in congenial society, to him home was a charmed word,
and he was very happy in his family. He resided in New York
