I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your Hall Family Records, and my appreciation of your labor, patience, and courage in getting it up. It seems to me to be one of the best of the kind that I have ever seen. From Capt. J. W. D. Hall, Taunton, Mass. The book is a wonderful specimen of the result of genealogical labor, much greater than I anticipated, and you are entitled to the thanks of the Halls all over New England, for your persevering in- dustry and patience in producing such a volume. From Ex. Gov. Hiland Hall, N~. Bennington, Vt. You have been more successful in gathering the Genealogy of the Halls of New England than I expected, and it appears to have been doue well. It contains a great mass of information about the various lines of the name. From Rev. Anson H. Parmelee, Seneca Castle, N~. Y. Your book must have cost you years of pains-taking labor. I am much pleased with it. It far exceeds any other book of the kind that I have examined in natural and perspicuous arrange- ment. From Dr. William R. Cutter, Librarian of Woburn, Mass. I have examined with interest your Hall Family Records, a copy of which has been purchased for this library. You have succeeded admirably in presenting so complete a record of the Halls, embrac- ing so complicated a subject as that family name. From Stephen H. Cutter, Winchester, Mass. My father is pleased with your book, and has given his copy to a nephew, and requested me to buy another for him. ^ Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from Princeton Theological Seminary Library http://www.archive.org/details/hallsofnewenglOOhall THE HALLS OF NEW ENGLAND, GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL Rev DAVID B. ''HALL, A. M., DUANESBURGH, N. Y. " People begin seriously to think that there is no reason why they should not know something about their progenitors." Sam'l G. Drake in 1848. ALBANY, N. Y.: Printed for the Author By JOEL MUNSELL'S SONS, 82 State Street. 1883. 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 generations, and sometimes become national. The mental, moral, 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 affinities has marvelous combinations and variations, each one of which it is needful to understand in order to 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 thev may wish in their turn to be held in affectionate remembrance and honor by those who may come after them. Most 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 would lead them to make inquiries after them. It arises probably more from carelessness or the pressure of business engagements than from any want of reverence or affection, so that when 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 compiling 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, and 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 process 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 little 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 be a call for a supplement to it. It should therefore be known where 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 me, 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 of the right hand pages until Part 10 is found on page 452, where he will find (Family 17; Willis Halls. 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 of the 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 h;ille, hence the origin of the name of the ancient Castle Halla, now City Halie, 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 106 various specimens of Hall coat of arms. EARLY EMIGRANTS. i.

Note. — The names of some early emigrant Halls who came with their parents have been omitted in the list, and probably several others. Also some names in the list have probably been repeated, and names of persons born in this country, may have been added to the list. COAT OF ARMS. Much inquiry has been made for arms preserved in the Hall families 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. ^ .hl u a.

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 of the 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 Field's Address, 48, 55, and JVetmore 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 1800, 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, u Dea. Hall was spoken of as 4 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: 14 Hall Genealogy. i. Hiland, b. July 20, 1795 (Family 44). 2. Phebe, b. March 24, 1797 (Family 45). 3. Abigail, b.

He removed to Cornwall, Vt., in 1783 ; was the first treasurer of the town of Cornwall, and its first representative in the legislature. On the organization of the county of Addison, he was appointed one of the judges of the County Court, which he held during his life. Judge Hall was one of the original members of the Congregational church of Cornwall, and he and Dea. Bingham were elected as the first two deacons. He enjoyed the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens in every relation, and his counsels were sought and prized, both in secular and ecclesiastical affairs. Children were : 1.

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 qualifications. 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 y(V 1>*.-'S.t»8f *pjr* . Halls of Middletown. 19 mpressed her. She enjoyed the confidence and esteem of her, neighbors and friends, and richly deserved the approbation she received for 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 public 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 Dy 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, m tne 94tn 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 18 19, 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 political 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 20 Hall Genealogy. 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 of the 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 1 858 he was elected govenor of Ver- mont, and re-elected the succeeding year, when he retired from public life ; serving only afterwards as a delegate to the abortive 11 Peace Congress ", assembled at Washington in the winter of 1 861 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 author of 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 Las furnished most of the materials for this genealogv of the Halls of Middletown, and otherwise very much encouraged its compiler. Children were all born in Bennington.

He was the son of Gilbert Hall, who lived 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 1 640 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 tools, 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 lived in New London for a short time, as appears from the following record : " It is ordered May 7, 1663, that Francis Hall shall have two 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 II, 1671, this court grants Francis Hall a release Halls of Fairfield. 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 : 1. 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. Second Generation. [Family 2.) Isaac Hall2, Francis': b. about i629,in the county of Kent, and came from Milford, county of Surrey, Eng., with his father, and d. in Fairfield, Conn., 1714, 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 1660, ajarge 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 wbich survived him were: 1. Isaac, b. Sept., 1665 (Family 4). 2. Francis. 3. John ; and several dauthers whose names are not known. [Family 3.) Samuel Hall2, Francis1 : b. in England about 1635; d. in Fairfield, 1694, in the 59th year of his age. He settled in Fairfield on land conveyed to him by his father. Two sons survived him : 1.

In his youth he was a clothier, draper and tailor, afterwards he became a farmer.

Daniel Foster jd Hall Genealogy. was from Durham, Conn., and afterwards of Newton. Asbury Hal] 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 i8i5,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 : 1. Benjamin Franklin, b. July 25, 1814 (Family 16). 2. Henry Clay, b. July 11, 1820 (Family 17). 3. James Asbury, b. Jan. 12, 1 731 (Family 18). [Family 12.)

Y., July 23, 1814; m., 1843, ^by Farnbam, 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- 7 8 Hall Genealogy. 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 published 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 delivered 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 compiling 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 decided. 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 /OeK^x Jr flf*x^CCsx 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 of the 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 of the Western States, and another on the Jurisprudence of Insanity ; and two histories, one, the History of the Colonization ot 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 rhe recruiting officers, Capt. Joel 80 Hall Genealogy. 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 and 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. 8l 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- ing his books and his family. Judge Hall has very kindly furnished nearly all of the material for this line of Halls, and other valuable materials for other portions of this book. His children were born in Auburn : 1. Emily, b.

Hall, of Fairfield, Conn., owned a mill in 1792, in Winchester, and lived there several years' Addition to the Halls of Fairfield. [From Geo. E. Hall, 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 Hall 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 lived 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 wbom he gives by will in 17 14, were : 1. Francis. 2. Isaac. 3. John. 4. Jonathan. Samuel Hall2, Francis1, 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.

John Hall1: 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 shouLl 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 60th year of age. Three or four of his sons joined a com- pany and settled Wallingford 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, 1852 (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. 88 Hall Genealogy. 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 signors were Jonn Hall, Jr., David Hall, Thomas Hall, Sen. ; but lieutenant, Samuel Hall, dissented. {Family 2.)

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 stone rest* 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 tenderneis. 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 ; 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 of the 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." , - 7 //r ^ \ t i f^t/ /ft \ Halls of JV ailing ford. 107 The ladies of Wallingford spread a table and gave dinner to one thousand persons on this reception occasion.

Aimer Hall engaged for several years in the busi- ness of peddling tin ware and Yankee notions in Penn., Va. and Tenn.; afterwards he opened a store in Wallingford, selling 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, forming 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 offiee, 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. {Family 180.) Asaph Hall?, Asaph,!, Asaph5, David4, Jonathan3, Thomas2, John1: b. in Goshen, Conn., Oct. 15, 1829 ; married an educated lady, who was accustomed to give instruction, and under Halls of Walling ford. 1 3 1 her advice and assistance he pursued the study of the higher mathe- 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. (Family 181.) Nathan Kelsey Hall7, Ira6, Jonathan5, Isaac4: d. in Skeneatelas, N.

Y. ; when Fillmore succeeded to the presidency in , he appointed his partner, Nathan K. Hall, to the office of 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. Children were : 1. Nathan K.,b. Oct. 13, 1833 ; d. Oct. 22, 1835. 2. Frederick Augustus, b. Jan. 10, 1836 ; d. at Andover,'t,fr'-¥-r, Jan. 7, 1852. 3. Emily A., b. Oct. 9, 1838 ; m.

In 1842, he became a member of the 1st Presbyterian church of Saratoga Springs ; and was a man of undoubted piety ; he was also a man of even temperament, and very genial in his manners ; he was greatly 132 Hall Genealogy. respected, and few would have been more missed from the church and community ; his wife survived him.

[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, Elihu Hall, Peter Hall, and others, to confer with the Wells Society, and try to settle the controversy. In 1758, on a committee of the 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 Wallingford 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, Hezekiah Hall, and others, on the subject of Meriden as a separate town. The town of Meriden was incorporated in 1806. Daniel Hall2 (Family 5), onNpage 89, should\have probably been placed \nder the Halls of Guilfo\d instead of theVHalls of Walline- ford. His name was David, noV\Danie/, and his two children were named Dav{d, and not Daniel, andVwo of his childre Halls of Portsmouth. i 3 3 HALLS OF PORTSMOUTH, R. I. The emigrant ancestor was (Family 1.) William Hall1. On the 8th day of the 8th month in 1638, the name of William Hall was one of a list of 59 persons admitt-ed 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 towr). 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 , tk 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- 1 34 Hall Genealogy. 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 settled 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 or 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: 1. Zurill (Family 2). 2. William (Family 3). 3. Benjamin (Family 4). 4. Elizabeth. 5. Rebecka. 6. Deliverance. [Family 2.)

He entered early upon a sea-faring life, but was driven from it by the revolutionary troubles, when he im- mediately took decidedly American grounds. In Dec. 13, 1774, he was engaged in the removal of stores from the fort at Newcastle. In 1775 and 1776, he was a delegate to the general congress; he took command of an independent company of cadets and was pre- sent at Burgoin's surrender. He served in Rhode Island with a detachment of his company, and was present when Gen. Sullivan brought off the American troops. He was member and speaker of the N. H. House of Representatives in 1776 and '77 ; was judge of Court of Commou Pleas in 1776, but resigned the next year; in 1778, was agent under Congress for building ships of war, and was continental agent for New Hampshire. In 1779, he was pre- sident of N. H. convention for regulating the currency ; and from 1777 to 1782 was speaker of the N. H. House of Representatives. In 1780, he was a commissioner to raise men and procure provisions for the army ; in June 13, 1783, he was again elected delegate to 12 178 Hall Genealogy. 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, Ik was elected representative in N. H. Legislature arid 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 of the senate of the United States, and became the 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 181 1, was governor of 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 of the 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 : l 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 establishing 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 Hall4, Josiah3, Kingsley2, Ralph1 : b.

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- tOA-n 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 firsc 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, an<^ t^lat ne was a res'* 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, and named Dennis. Josiah S. Haii, one of the descendants of John Hall now (1880) owns and lives upon the eld homestead in Dennis, and says he thinks that John Hall moved n :o it in 1641. Perhaps it might have been at that time claimed is 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 descendant 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. 1, 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 Charlestown.

Mr. Hall graduated at Harvard college, 1724, and received the honorary degree of D.D. from Dartmouth college, 1777 ; he was invited to preach in Sutton, Mass., 1728.

Percival Hall (and others named) should go and get ministers to 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 setclement 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 lo that office. Dr. Hall's ministry was a useful as well as a long one; the people were well united and were built up; 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 mateiials for building his 222 Hall Genealogy. house.

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 commenced 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. tern., of the State Council that year. He was chosen in 1789, 1 79 1, 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 1st 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 of the State. He discharged the duties of this office with great fidelity and credit ; a charge which he delivered to the grand jury of Windham county in 1798, was considered at the time u 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 Halls of Tar mouth. 243 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 May.

Charles Hall was a close student ; he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Badger, of Westminster, Vt., in 1809 ; graduated at the medical department of Dartmouth College, 181 1. Dr. Hall spent much of his time while a student in the office of his cousin Dr. Nathan Smith, professor of surgery at the time in Dartmouth College. He 250 Hall Genealogy. commenced the practice of medicine at Swanton Falls, Vt., in 18 12 ; 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 onlv a tew of his articles were published ; among such might be mentioned his essay on " Epidemic Erysipelas," and a long and able article on tl 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 bv Dr. Hall while living ; for such was his extreme diffidence 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 1 8 1 3 ; 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. Hall 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.

Isaac Hollister, of Granville, N. Y. ; who was a son of Joseph Hollister of Colchester, Conn., Isaac, was b. Jan. 6, 1766, and lived to a great age. Edwin Hall was early taught the Westminster Catechism, which formed vS-^ Cy^^^^t f^/^C^ Halls of Tar mouth. 273 the basis of his theological views and Christian teaching in his official life; in i8u,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 their 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 1813, 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 18 18, 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 of 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 Bullou, for a long time during the 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 religion 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 18 274 Hall Genealogy. found his friend Edwin over the hill, a mile from 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 Edwin 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 Tar mouth. 275 History of Alexander in Greek, Herodotus; Longinus, Lucretius' deNatura 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 junior 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 u 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 en'irely 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 the 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 jt was accepted bv 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 till he fainted, and then nearly starved him. This, with many like occurrences in his life, show his great stock of inherent vitality. His bleeding 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 of theological studies ac- cording to the sylabus of Dr. Leonard Woods, Prof, of Theology 276 Hall Genealogy. at Andover, also considerable Hebrew. And being examined b) 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 of the 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 settled 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 u 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 of 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 jvertaslcing 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 wt 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 j 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- list. He also distinguished himself in the trial concerning Dr. Bushnell's book entitled " God in Christ." He stood high in -i is 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, Halls of Yarmouth. 279 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 satisfactorv to the presbyteries. Within a few years after entering on his work, Prof. Hall prepared and printed for the use of his classes his 4t 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 has 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 dul- 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 his 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 280 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 of the 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, from 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 : 1. Edwin, b.

This was taxing his strength too much, besides being too much confined, and his health failed, and for the sake of out door exercise, he engaged for two years in traveling as an agent for Mark H. Newman, of New York, in the book business. He then pur- sued the study of medicine, and graduated at Yale Medical Depart- ment, and received his diploma from the Connecticut Medical Society.

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 time of his death. The church had suffered many vicissitudes and many pastoral changes up to the period when he was Halls of Tar mouth. 283 installed, but has steadily prospered from that time. No one was more respected and esteemed as a man and a minister; he was recog- nized as a large-hearted and liberal minded pastor, and his discourses were characterized bv great vigor of thought and the thoroughness of their logic. Dr. Hall was very prominent in the labors which led to the re-union of the two branches of the Presbvterian 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, " I 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 the 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 tw 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 ability 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, u 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, he 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 the 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 in 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 Tarmouth. 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 illustration and forcible in his appeals. During his earlier 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 ; he 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 them 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 population ; 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, 286 Hall Genealogy. 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.

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 was 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. (Family 228.) Sarah E. Hall8, pedigree as above: b. Sept. 15, 1832; m., Sept. 15, 1852, W. C. P.

Widow Mary Hall, is first mentioned by William Wilcox of Cambridge, in his will made 1653; m 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 William 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. 11-1688, 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 accustomed 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 families, 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 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. 1, 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 of the 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: 1. 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, the 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 1.) John Hall1, son of Widow Mary Hall, of Cambridge. He was born in England, 1627; died in Medford, Mass., Oct. 18, 1701, ae. 74 years ; m., April 2, 1656, Elizabeth, dau. of Percival and Ellen Green, of Cambridge. John Hall took the oath of fidelity 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, 1 68 1. y(< c-nr^^s-J /(^XC- ^ U and was the pastor of the church in Plymouth, from Jan., 1859 to JuHs 1867 ; he was chaplain of the 44th Massa- chusetts volunteers, 1862 and 1863; and was settled Feb. 10, 1869, over the First Unitarian Society of Worcester, Mass. 4.

Thaddeus Mason Harris, J).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 calling 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 3 1 8 Hall Genealogy. two of his life he furnished the compiler of this work with infor- mation about his near of kin ; and he published a discourse in 1870, on the 240th anniversary of the first church gathering in Dorchester, 1630.

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. Hall 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, 1 779, " 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."

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 Elizabeth Ingraham, claim against the estate, $82.20. Children were : 'Zj^t^yQ ^ /*~ V" ' * ^ c^v , 1. George Holmes, b.

Warren Preston, of Bangor, Me., who survives him and has kindly sent me many particulars of his life; much more than there is space to give in this book. He was only 12 years of age when the family were left in straitened circumstances by the death of Halls of Med ford [Part Fourth). 337 his father. On this account he was obliged to give up his expecta- tion of obtaining a liberal 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 the 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 person^ 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 22 338 Hall Genealogy. 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 1000 men. But it is remarkable 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 ! 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 weep for him! Halls of Medford [Part Fifth). 339 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 !" Children were : I. Henry, when 17 years old enlisted 100 colored troops in St. Louis for the war, and sent them to his father in Buffalo, who was there on the same business. 2. Frances Preston. 3.

Mr. Hall was representative of Medford in the 2d and 3d provincial congress, and also a delegate to the convention in 1780, for making the constitution of Massachu- setts, and a justice of the peace ; he had some pecuniary difficulty with John Bishop, which resulted in having most or all of his lands taken away from him by execution ; his widow obtained her dowry from it, May 29, 1800. This Stephen Hall was appointed adminis- trator of his father's estate (Lt. Stephen Hall), with his cousin Ste- 34° Hall Genealogy. phen Hall, Jr.; many have supposed that this cousin was the son of Lt. Stephen Hall, probably from the fact that he was called Jr., but this simply indicated "the younger" and not "the son ;" the son was youngfr than the Jr., and was called Lydia was dau. of Thomas and Isabella Hall, of Cambridge (see Emigrant Halls in this book). Capt. John Cutter, Jr., after the death of his father, assumed the care of the grist mill which had belonged to his father. And in 1801 he went to Demarara, West Indies, and built a mill to grind sugar cane by horse power. After his return he built a windmill in Medford for grinding grain. Soon after he built a windmill in Canada for the same purpose. He then became one of Halls of Medford [Part Fifth). 343 the earliest fishermen in the Mystic river. In 1803, he paid sixty- five dollars for the right of fishing near the dike ; he also piloted vessels between Medford and Boston ; also he owned lighters and transported brick to the city, some of which may now be seen in the buildings on Central Wharf and in Dr. Sharp's church. From 1809 to 181 1 he was Capt. of the famous Medford Light Infantry. In 1810, having purchased the old grist mill of Caleb Richardson, in Woburn, he built a new structure, which he run until his death. In 1 81 7 he built a grist mill in North Chelsea, run by tide water, which was occupied by his sons until 1830, when they sold the estate and removed to Winchester, Mass.

Mr. Cutter, following suggestions which I proposed, has spent much time Halls of Med] or d {Part Fifth). 355 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 Hall pedigree.

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.

Percival Hall, of Sutton, Mass. [Family 13.) Elizabeth Hall3, Percival2, John1 : b. in Medford, Mass. ; in., in Sutton, Mass., by Rev. John McKinstry, Dec. 26, Note. The following items of information are kindly furnished 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 lie 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, wha 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 of the United States, and late governor of New Jersey (1 881). 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, in. Gen. Ebenezer Huntington, of Norwich, Conn. I do not know the name of my grandfather's father ; 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 ;.nd made a sketch of the old Mc- Clellen homestea"d, 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 used 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, and 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, ^e was major. In 1776, he was lieutenant colonel. In 1779, was colonel. In 1784, brigadier genera!. On the 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. 362 Hall Genealogy. 172.2, James McClellen, who was one of the selectmen of Worcester in 1725. It is claimed that he came to Worcester county in 1718, with a company of Scotch-Irish. After the death of Mr. McClellen, his widow Elizabeth, m. 'John Smith, by whom she had several daugh- ters. He was Irish, probably Scotch-Irish. Her children were born either in Worcester or Sutton. We have the names of the McClellen children as follows : 1. John, b. Dec. 6, 1723. 2. Rebecca, b.

Reuben R. Dodge, the compiler of the Rawson Genealogy, and who has furnished me with information which he gleaned from the Deacon Leland papers. Children of James and Sarah Mc- Clellen : , I.

It may serve to re- mind us of the fact that this old patriarch of so numerous a posterity was once a school boy, to relate the fact that he once went to school to Deacon Willis Hall, and as he whispered to another boy, the teacher came slyly along and bumped their heads together. Both of these good old deacons have been dead a long time, and their numer- ous posterity hold their names in sacred and most interested rever- ence and veneration.

Gale's No. in the Family Memorial is 383, that of his father Jonathan, is 213 ; his emigrant 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 years 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 18 19 joined a company going to the far west, consisting of I^aac 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 wilderness ; 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 wfcy of Providence, R. I.; by sloop to Baltimore ; by stage to Pittsburgh ; bv 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 winter 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.

March 25, 1815 ; Mr. Wright and his twin brother Truman K. Wright, were students in Burr Seminary at Manchester, Vt., from the time it was opened for students, .May, 1833, to the fall of 1835, when they entered Mid- dlebury College, and graduated in 1839. Since that time they have been engaged in teaching schools and academies. Norman F. Wright, was superintendent of schools at Binghamton, N. Y., when he received the appointment of professor of Latin and Greek in the State Normal school at Cortland, New York. He was a Presby- terial commissioner in 1874 or 7, in the general assembly of the Presbyterian church. Truman K. Wright, has been the principal for nearly 30 years of the Monroe Collegiate Institute, at Eldridge, Onondaga Co., N. Y. The Wright brothers had for classmates at Burr Seminary, Rev. Anson H. Parmelee (see Middletown Halls), Rev. Lathrop Taylor of , Til- (see Medford Halls, 5th part). Rev John Du Bois, of Wurtsborough, N. Y. Rev. James Dubuar, of Northville, Mich. Rev. Kidder of Michigan. Prof. Richard K. Todd of Illinois. Rev. Dr. Samuel J. White of Connecticut; and many others, who commenced study at mature age with limited means, and found a cheap and at the same time an efficient school in Burr Seminary, without which they could never have obtained their edu- cation. It was a manual labor institution, where thev cou'H keep up their active physical habits moderately, while becoming more accus- tomed to sedentary life and intellectual labors ; sume cf the students nearly paid their way by their work There were no more 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 the 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. 24 37° Hall Genealogy. These same young men cut cord-wood at the foot of the mountain, for twenty-five cents per cord.

March 14, 18 1 7 ; m., April, 1872, Isaiah Graffaw or Graffam, a native of Maine ; resided at New Bedford, Mass. Her maternal grandparents were among the earliest and most enterprizing inhabitants of Cape Cod Hill, Me. ; the hill com- mands one of the most extensive and varied prospects in the state ; in the vicinity of this charming spot Lydia spent her youth, and for several years engaged in her favorite employment of teaching school, subsequently she spent six years at Lowell, Mass., where she gained Halls of Medford ( Part Seventh). 389 a favorable notoriety in connection with the " Lowell Offering " ; in Sept., 1844 tne 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 failing, 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 the north, Deyond 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 blight 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.

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 18 15, 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 labor, combined with warmth and earnestness of heart, were among Mr. Hall's prominent characteristics, and doubtless gave the key to his life's success. His views of both the importance and the methods of the education of youth, as based upon religious grounds, were at the beginning in advance of his time, and his contributions to educa- tional reform will remain as the chief memorial of his service." But Mr. Hall was not content with merely teaching school ; his religious conviction of duty led him to seek the ministry of the gospel. He studied theology with Rev. Walter Chapin, of Woodstock, Vt., and Rev. William Eaton, of Fitchburgh, Mass., and was licensed to preach by the Worcester North Halls of Med ford {Part Seventh). 391 Association 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 first 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 or 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 accomplished 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. Hall 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- 39 2 Hall Genealogy. teen and a half years, during which he received nearly ioo 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 much 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. 1, 1863, to Feb. 1, 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 of the state ; in the geological survey of Vermont, under Prof. Edward Hitchcock, com- menced in 1857, 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 of the 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 Children," " 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 the '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 Halls of Medford [Part Seventh). 393 he sent on his brother-in-law, Prof. John Dascomb, to make a begin- ning who, I believe, 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 willing 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 : 1. Harriet Elizabeth, b.

The following extract is taken from a notice of Mrs. Philips' death, by Gen. A. G. Ellis, 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 cf her attainments in the exact sciences and the languages. Her beautiful poems, " Under the Pines," though only fragments of her writings, are before the public, published, as we know, with much reluctance, 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 excellent Library Association, 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 illness, 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."

C.j while on the road, eighty of our men, prisoners, jumped from the cars and fled, but were all captured before night of the next day, and taken to Charleston, and placed under the fire of our own guns, which were then shelling the city, and kept there until about the fourteenth of October ; they were then removed, to Columbus, S. C, and placed in an open field, without shelter and almost without food, and kept there until about the fourth of November, when, says Mr. Brown, four of us made our escape, and traveled to our lines at Knoxville, Tenn., 500 miles in 30 days ; we lived mostly on parched corn, not daring to see anybody. On our arrival we were in a bad condition, one of us having frozen both of his feet, and had not eaten anything except snow for 100 hours. Lieut.

H., Feb. 1, 1838; not married; 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 " Fighting 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 declined 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 which 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 1, 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. 11, 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. (Family 368.) Oscar D. Allen?, pedigree as above: b. Dec. 14, 1842; d. July 2, 1863, not married ; he was a soldier in the war for the Union, and the first who enlisted from Croydon ; he enlisted about April 22, 186 1, in Co. D, Capt. McL. Barton, 5th Reg., N. H. Vols., Col. Mason W. Tappen ; mustered into service, May 2, 1 86 1, for three months. This regiment marched and counter- marched in Maryland and Virginia, and had a dusty time of it ; it 422 Hall Genealogy. 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, 1861, 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 duties. 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 continued over the most ter- rible marching ground, with the mud nearly knee deep, in the midst of darkness, until 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- Halls of Medford {Part Seventh). 423 merit, 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 Hill ; 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 his body just below his 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 ; while here, he was promoted for his bravery to the 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 ChancellorvSville, 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 art of war any more. 424 Hall Genealogy. HALLS OF MEDFORD. (PART EIGHTH.) Third Generation. This part consists of the posterity of Thomas Hall3, of Cornish, N. H. {Family 15.) Thomas Hall3, Percival2, John1 : b. in Medford, Mass., Aug. 12, 1712 ; d. in Cornish, N.

Thomas Hall resided in Sutton from his eighth year of age until his 2d marriage, when he removed to Millbury, and subsequently to Cornish, where he was chosen a deacon of the Congregational church ; he was admitted to the church of Sutton in 1735, and his first wife in 1741. Thomas Hall was a farmer and had a farm next to his father's in Sutton (probably his father gave a farm to each of his sons and sons-in-law) ; he may have lived for a short period in Grantly or Groton, probably the family left Sutton before the births of his last two children. Children were : I. Percival, b. March 15, 1741 (Family 369). 2. Thomas, b. March 23, 1843; d. 'young. 3. Sarah, b. Aug. 28, 1745; went with the family to Cornish. 4. Thomas, b.

Thomas Hall, was born Sept. 7 1720 she was the dau. of Daniel Chase and his wife, Sarah March, who were admitted to church Sutton from church Littleton, 1736 (Littleton was then a part of Groton), to which Daniel had removed in 1725 from Newbury, b. Sept. 20, 1685, son of Moses, who was b. Dec. 24, 1663, and m., Nov. i&, 1684, Ann Follansbee. Moses was the eleventh child of Aquila Chase and his wife Anna, dau. of John Wheeler, of Hampton and from Salisbury, Eng. Aquila Chase was a mariner from Cornwall, Eng.; he was at Hampton, in Mass., in 1640.

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 which 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, by 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. At the time of his wife's death, he was as well as usual and was more than usually fervent in his iami!y devotions in the evening, but in the morning he was found in a fit of apoplexy, of which he died on the third day. The funeral of his wife was delayed and both were buried in one grave. Children were : I. Willis, b. May 29, 1747 (Family 450). 2. Jacob, b. Feb. 2, 1749 (Family 451). 3. Martha, b.

Josiah Hall lived with Mr. Timothy Sibley and learned the ^^watchmaker's trade ; he bought his father's homestead of his brother Joseph, upon whom it had been settled, and built the present house and barn ; he sold it and the mill April 6, 18 13, the day on which his grandson, Gardner Hall, was born, to Capt.

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 Ins biuthci1 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 College, 1790, and studied divinity with the celebrated 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 extinct and 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 cooperated 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 well known in this region. Halls of Medford {Part Tenth). 459 He had a weight of character which will 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 in 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 literal 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 ill 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 debility 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 features, and a frank, open, 460 Hall Genealogy. 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. 20, 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, 171 6, 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 ; he was chaplain in the French and Indian war in the expedition to Crown Point in 1755, 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 Ipswich, 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 his brother, Rev. Dr. Ralph Emerson, late professor in Halls ofMedford {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.

The wife of Deacon Daniel Emerson, and mother of 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 son of Robert Fletcher, the emigrant from England, b. 1592. The wife of Deacon Joseph Fletcher, of Dunstable, was Elizabeth, the daughter of Captain Joseph and Susanna (Parker) Underwood, of Weston (see Fletcher Genealogy, 2d edition, which contains a like- ness of Mrs. Hannah Hall and of her father Deacon Emerson and of her brother Ralph Emerson and the first edition of the Fletcher Family contains a coat of arms of the £m- ersons). The wife of Rev. Daniel Emerson was Hannah Emerson, daughter of Rev. Joseph Emerson, of Maiden, the son of Edward Emerson of Chelmsford, the son of Rev. Joseph Emerson, of Mendon. The wife of the Rev. Joseph Emerson, of Maiden, was Mary, daughter of Rev. Samuel Moody, of York, Me., the son of Caleb, the son of 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 New London, Conn, (see Hinman's first Puritans of Conn.), and minister of Concord, Mass., b. 1583 ; he was the son of Rev. Edward Bulkley, D. D., of Odell, England, the son of Thomas, the son of William, the son of Humphrey, the son of Hugh, d. 1450 the son of John, the son of Peter, the son of Robert, the son of William, the son of Robert, the son of William, the son of Robert, Lord of Bulc Leigh, one of old King 462 Hall Genealogy.

Joseph Emerson's Seminary, at Wethersfield, Conn.; after her mother's death, in 1832, she went to live with her sister, Mrs. Hannah E.

They lived on a farm, and d. about 18 13; in about two years afterwards Sullivan worked his way by degrees west, until he arrived at St. Louis, in 18 17, which he made his future home. He was appointed one of the first watchmen of that city, and soon became captain of police, and retained the office for ten years. He was deputy sheriff" in 1833, and became alderman for one year, after which he would not accept of any office. About this time he became engaged in the St. Louis and New Orleans transportation business, which was profitable and he became extensively known ; his uniform kindness and gentlemanly bearing towards passengers, made his boats very popular. At the incorpora- tion of the Boatman's Savings Institution in 1847, ne was one °f lls directors, and soon after its president, which office he held until 1870, when he resigned, but retained the office of director and took an active part in its affairs, making it daily visits. He was on his 47 2 Hall Genealogy. 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 the 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, the 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 Bellefontain 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 will 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 in life and his great usefulness, as well as his happiness, greatly depended upon her influence. Children were : 1. Annie Louisa. 2. Henry B. (Family 544). 3.

The name of his father was Asa, who removed with his family from New Jersey to Connecti- cut, where he resided several years, and then removed to Bridgeport, Vt. Abijah graduated at Middlebury college, 1820, and studied Halls of Medford ( Part Tenth ). 475 theology with Rev. Dr. J. Bushnell, of Cornwall, 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 family 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 ; 47 ^ Hall Genealogy. 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 kin, 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 : i. Edwin Hall, b. in Westmoreland, N. Y., May 30, 1825 ; d. at Memiken, Persia, Aug. 27, 1854 ; m., Feb. 22, 1852, in Otisco, N. Y., Ann Eliza, dau. of Elisha and Cynthia (Dada) Cowles, b. Dec. 30, 1828 ; she m., 2d, Mr. Powell, a returned missionary, and died about 1866. She was a woman 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 become a minister of the 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.

Reg., and rose rapidly in office to the rank of lieutenant colonel ; he participated in all the actions of that regiment, until the battle of Cedar Mountain, Va., when he was killed by a shell, while heroically rallying his men at the last stand on that disastrous day ; his body was embalmed and attended by a committee of his comrades to Beloit, where it was buried with military honors, and a monument erected to his memory ; children were, i.

Willis Hall5, Nathaniel4, Willis*, Percival2, John1: b. at Middle Granville, Washington Co., N. Y., April 1st, 1 801 ; m., in New York, March 27th, 1847, Helen Boucher, wid. of Capt. Handly, he d. s. p. June 14th, 1868, in New York city. He enjoyed early advantages of education, graduated at Yale College in 1824, with the highest honors of his class. After leaving college 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 distinction 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 collateral 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 Willis 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 <^^C <^<^s Halls of Medford (Part Tenth). 479 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 1 841, 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. ne was struck down by an attack of apoplexy resulting in paralysis of his 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 fie 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 triend. In the same year he resumed his professional duties in the city of New York, and was elected 480 Hall Genealogy. counsellor to the board of aldermen. He was also professor in the law school at Ballston, New York. In March 1847, ne 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 j 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 still in the struggle ; from the quiet of his library, he looked on, with the far seeing eye of a statesman, following 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 u 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, his 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 illness 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.

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 railroad 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.

Delphine E. DeOlin, who was born in Bordeaux, France, and was a niece of Louis DeOlin, an officer in the French army stationed at Mobile, their fourth child was Delphine E., who became the wife of Daniel E. Hall, 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 fl°gg'ng 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 his 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 $10,000 a year ; in 1 844 he visited the north with his family, the thought of the coming war seemed to be uppermost in his mind, and he used his influence in private conversation and to some extent in public speeches, in favor of the election of Henry Clay to the office of president of the United States, hoping thereby, if successful, to avert the dreadful conflict ; but we at the north did not suppose such a calamity possible, and had it not been for such a general sentiment of security, Clay probably would have been elected and the conflict might have been avoided ; he could not bear the thought of the fratricidal strife which his keen foresight plainly saw in the not distant future. He did all he could to prevent it, Dut it came, yet he did not see it ; he was mercifully taken away from the evil to come. He was an earnest matter of fact man, and took things as they were, not as he would like to have them ; he was brave, even bold in defence, and would not brook wrong ; there was no duplicity in his nature, nor was his mind unbalanced in the least by any very large degree of imagination or fancy. The bent of his mind was realistic and yet he had a kind heart, and a tender sympathy and very ardent affections ; he wished well to his kindred, and was willing to demonstrate it by deeds of substantial value. His children were bap- tized in the Presbyterian church ; the surviving children were : ^.^^/ ■ -4$vk~v Halls of Medford {Part Tenth). 48 3 1. Willis Emerson, b. Dec. 31, 1840 (Family 553). 2.

Willard Hall5, Willis4, Willard3, Stephen2,Stephen': b. in Westford, Mass., Dec. 24, 1780; d. at Wilmington, Del., May 10, 1875, in the 95th year of his age; m., 1st, soon after his settle- ment in Delaware, Junia, dau. of Chancellor Killen, a lady of beauty and accomplishments, she died in 1824, leaving an only child Lucinda, a striking representation of the mother, she m. Dr. Robert H. Porter, of Wilmington. Her father was much attached to her and made daily calls at her house, and her children succesively re- ceived their rudimentary education in his study, one of whom, Wil- lard Hall Porter, succeeds him in the practice of law at Wilmington. Mrs. Porter died in 1869, and Dr. Porter died in 1876. Mr Hall m., 2d, in 1826, Harriet Hilliard. a. most excellent woman who sur- vived him. Of the early life of Mr. Hall but little 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 College 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 state 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- McJ&irtCfoLU. Halls of Concord and Stow. 525 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 1812, 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 president 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 savings and without profit to those who conduct it. He was president for many years of the state colonization 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, delivered 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 d. Jan- J^> 1882, *ae. 54 ; lived on the homestead. 3. Louvan Maria, b.

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.

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 great, that he longed to depart and be with his beloved dead ; continual sickness followed, and his desire was granted, he died March 29, 1851, ae. 33 years, and was buried in Christ cemetery, St. Louis. {Family 101.)

Benjamin2, Edward1: 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 1, 1818 ; m., 1st, 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 foundation 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 IOO dollars ; he spent three years at Kimball Union Academy, teaching winters, and doing manual labor in vacations ; he entered Dartmouth College in 1844 ; his father d. when he was quite young and his mother was poor, but was able by unusual tact and energy to bring up her 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 his 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 185 1 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 thf ough his course of 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 clients, 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 acknowledged 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 convention 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 mollifying 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 malice, 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.

At the age of 17 years he commenced teaching school ; prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy, and entered Dartmouth College in 1858, and at the same time began the study of law with his father, and was admitted to the bar in 1863.

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, extendingto Mansfield) ; he had a twelveacre share, in connection with Richard Williams, John and Walter Dean and others, who had similar 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 in 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, an(^ 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 of the 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.

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 of the 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.

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.

A few years later he commenced business as bookseller and pub- lisher in Syracuse, N. Y., but his taste was for the profession of law, and having prepared himself for it commenced practice in 1858. Twenty years later, finding the unremitting labor attendant upon successful legal practice, again impairing his health, he became in- terested with others in the establishment of an extensive plow manu- factory, and gradually withdrew from practice in the courts ; while pursuing this latter business, with his usual ardor, his disease (an affection of the heart) continued to remind him, at times, of his pre- carious hold upon life, until April 19th, 1881, when his active energy succumbed, and a warm loving heart ceased to beat ; those about him realized no immediate danger until the last moments of his life.

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 his 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 tar 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 Hull, and sub- sequently with John Griswold, and engaged in the shipping business, 630 Hall Genealogy. but their losses by the depredations of the French, and again by the British in 18 12, 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 still survives in one of its branches under the pastoral care of Rev.

C] John Hall came from Middletown, Conn., to Fayetteville, N. C, before 1835, and died there since the war, quite aged ; he had married four or five times, and had a good many children. Several of his 664 Appendix. sons attended the academy in Fayetteville in 1 835-1 840 ; his sons Egbert and Alvin settled in , N. C. ; his son Charles became a Methodist minister and went to the state of New York, but may have returned. A grandson, Rev. B. R. Hall, is a Methodist minister at Statensville, and a daughter married Stacy, she now lives with her nephew Rev. B. R. Hall. REBECCA HALL OF WEST BLOOMFIELD, N. Y. Miss Rebecca Hall, of West Bloomfield, N. Y.. married Rev. fames Hervey Hotchkin, the minister of that place. Mr. Hotch- kin was the son of Rev. Beriah Hotchkin, of Guilford, Conn., and b. in 1781 ; his first settlement was in West Bloomfield, N. Y., from 1 80 1 to 1809 ; he also preached in Pittsford and Lima, and in 1809 he settled in Prattsburgh, Steuben Co., N. Y. Mr. Hotch- kin was the bishop of most of the churches within the range of thirty miles •, in his old age he wrote and published a book entitled " A History of the Purchase and Settlement of Western New York, and the Rise and Progress and Present State of the Presbyterian Church in that Section." He died Feb. 23, 1851. SUPPLEMENT TO THE HALLS OF WALLINGFORD, CONN. Jonathan Hall2, son of John Hall1, lived in New London, Conn., and had children : 1. Jonathan, bapt. Oct. 8, 1677. 2. Peter, bapt. Oct. 17, 1680. 3. Hannah, bapt. June 17, 1683, and probably other 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. 9, 1672, d. in a tew 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, 168 1 , John Prout. The following is frum the History of Wallingford, Conn., p. 752: David Hall, son o( John and Jane Hall, m. Mary Rutherford, of New Haven, Nov. 11, 1670. Children: 1. Daniel, b. Aug. 9, 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 1 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. Indded I am inclined to belie/e 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 I^avid.' 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, Mass., 1630. 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 Hull and not George Hall. 666 Appendix. Humphrey Penny whose name is next to George Hall, is known to have m., 1635, Mary, the dau. of George Hull. George Hall, of the south side of Hartford, Conn., was pro- pounded for freeman, May 21, 1668, and he and Timothy Hall, of Windsor, were made freeman Oct., 1669.

The following are of the Scotch or Scotch-Irish Halls in Penn- sylvania, North Carolina, Virginia and New York : 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 Narrow Water Castle, Ireland : 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 of the 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 settiedEnglish Halls of great respectability and worth, and the owners of much landed property around the family place of 1 Narrow Water Castle.' " A. Wilford Hall, of New York, editor of the Literary Microcosm, and author of Problem of Human Life, is of the old Pennsylvania stock from Lycoming County ; his father was Samuel, who had ten brothers, of whom were William, John, Jonathan, Alexander, Richard and Joseph ; the father of Samuel was Richard, who was the son of-Jt>kn. /LcCWv-v- ^ e <- /<■&-} * /"/A Rev. Dr. John Hall, pastor of a Presbyterian church at Trenton, N. J., was b. in Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. n, 1806; he graduated at the University of Pennsylvania ; was admitted at the bar of Philadelphia •, installed pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Trenton, Aug. 11, 1841 ; his father was Thomas Miffin Hall, who was an intimate friend of Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander, and an elder in his church in Philadelphia, when he was pastor of a Presbyterian church there, before he was chosen professor in Prince- ton Theological Seminary ; Thomas M. Hall's father was John 670 Appendix. Hall, who was b. in Ireland, Nov. 3, 171 7 ; d. in Philadelphia, Feb. 27, 1 79 1 ; his first wife, Esther Robison, d. before he emi- 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 of the 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 children, 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 18 13, 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 the intolerance of the established church and suffered much from a despotic power, because loval 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 life'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. Hall, 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. Hall con- sidered as a prolific source of great misery, he therefore turned his attention to writing books to enlighten them and ameliorate their condition; he was 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 billious temperament, high cheek bones and sour mouths, etc. JAMES HALL OF SCOTCH IRISH DESCENT.

Biography). It is claimed that his son Richard Hall, emigrated to America in 1670, and patented a large tract of land on each side of the Susquehanna river, about a mile above the mouth of the Ocheraro, just within the limits of Maryland.

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, thenknown 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.

It is a tradition that he was an active Tory, and 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.

There is no positive evidence that Edward Hall, 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 Hall'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 Hall2, Edward1 : 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 .£60, to take care of their mother and invalid sister Martha. And in 1721, 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 Hall3 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 1763. {See page 528.) Samuel Hall2, Edward1 : 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. s , 696 Appendix. 1. Elizabeth, b. March 20, 1687. 2- Remember, b.

Joseph William and Sybell (Heath) 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 horn 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 of the 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 piety ; 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 early exhibited a decided taste and aptness for study, and with a view to engage in the Gospel ministry he entered the sophomore class in Hamilton College in 1821 and graduated in 1824, with the highest honors of his class ; studied theology at Princeton Seminarv, 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 life 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 Appendix. 705 many years and finally removed to Newark, N. J., where he died in middle life, although he had always enjoyed the best of health. Children were : 1.

Sept. 1, 1880, by means of injuries received in falling from his wagon and striking on the back of his head. He married Betsey Parker, of Wethersfield, Vt., who with three children survive him, viz. Mr. E. S. Hall, Mrs. H. P. Hicks and Mrs. Richard Cronk ; he studied at Exeter Academy two years, at Dartmouth College four years, and three years at Andover Theo- logical Seminary ; he graduated at college in 1828 ; and immediately after leaving Andover Seminary he went west through the great lakes as a missionary of the A. B. C. F. M., to the Indians at La Point, Wis., where he translated the Bible into the Chippewa language, and it is still in use ; after 1854 he was the beloved pastor of the Con- gregational Church at Sauk Rapids, until his death. Mr. Hall was diligent, faithful, conscientious, eminent for good sense and practical wisdom ; he could act as a missionary among the Indians, pastor of a church or a judge of probate. Rev. Wm. T. Boutwell, of Still- J20 Appendix. water, Minn., who was with him nine years at school and associated with him as a missionary, and as a pastor of a neighboring church, says of him, he was a noble man, a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, and a beloved christian brother. It is said of him that while at college he was president of a club for the study and practice of music and that he could read music with great facility." HALLS OF LYNN, SALEM AND SAUGUS, MASS. John Hall was of Lynn in 1630, perhaps the same " Mr. John Hall who was admitted an inhabitant of Salem, June 28, 1637, being first approved by authority to be in ye jurisdiction." There was also a John Hall from Saugus, who appeared at court in Salem, Aug. 3, 1637, to answer a complaint by Anthony Colbye of Ipswich. And there was an Edward Hall of Salem, who was fined by the Court of Salem, Jan. 27, 1638, for being drunk, the fine was to be paid by Mr. Friend, whose hired man Edward Hall was. Mr. Friend was admitted an inhabitant of Salem, July 25, 1637 (see 7th and 8th vols, of Essex Institutes). Edward Hall, of Lynn, perhaps son of John, died in Lynn in 1669, he had wife Sarah, children were : 1. Joseph, b. July 3, 1646 (see below). 2. Ephraim, b. Sept. 8, 1648 (see below). 3. Sarah, b.

Thomas Hall, Edward Hall, Samuel Hall and John Hall, were in Salisbury. The list of freemen gives as follows : " Thomas of John, Appendix. 721 Edward, Samuel, made freemen 1634, 1635, 1638," and John probably became freeman in 1640 (see Savage's Dictionary). These all may have been the sons of John Hall, of Lynn, 1630. 1. Thomas Hall, he might have been the Thomas Hall who was in Hartford, Conn., before 1640, or the one who settled in New York city. 2. Edward Hall, he probably settled in Rehoboth, Mass., or possibly in Lynn. 3. and 4. Samuel and John Hall were proprietors of Salisbury in 1640, and both were accorded the honorable prefix of Mr. of whom there were only eight out of a list of sixty-six inhabitants.

There were three by the name of John Hall, taxed in Dover, from 1650 to 1657 ; an account of one them is given in this book, (see page 152); in 1649 two were taxed as follows: John Hall £0 14* lod ; John Hall £\ 6s 4^; but in 1650 three were taxed as follows: John Hall, £1 45 6d ; John Hall, Jr., £0 12* 6d ; John Hall, £0 iox lod. The first name appears to be with the Dover Neck names, the second with the Bloody Point names, and the third with those of Oyster Bay, but neither particular is certain. The tax for 1657 tney were taxed as follows : Dea. John Hall, £3 14.S od; Sergeant John Hall, £2 or gd; John Hall, £1 Of gd. Another tax for the same year was as follows : Dea. John Hall, £0 19* od ; John Hall, of Greenland £0 13J 5^; and John Hall, £0 j: Sd. 724 Appendix. These tax lists are all the information we have been able to obtain concerning the third John Hall, the one probably at Oyster Bay. But with regard to the second John Hall, the sergeant, we have the following account,, viz : John Hall of Dover, N. H., at first lived on Dover Neck, and his name appears on the combination list Oct. 22, 1640, and on the protest against Underhill, April 4, 1641, on which he made his mark, evidently not being able to write ; his name was on the tax list for 1648. Probably about this time he exchanged premises with Rider Hatevil Nutter, for land on Great Bay called Bloody Point and Greenland, to which he made additions ; in the tax list of 1657 ^e is called Sergeant John Hall ; his farm was partly in the town of Portsmouth and he was taxed there also.

His son Clement March, Jr., succeeded as heir to the estate, he graduated at Harvard College, and became a physician ; m. Lucy Dudley Wainwright, and had six sons, of whom Joseph W.
