3. TIMOTHY2 HALL (John1) was born in Scituate December 5, 1714. He was married twice, the name of his first wife not having come to light. His second wife was Sarah Silvester whom he married before February 10, 1745/6, when her maiden sister Lucretia Silvester made her will leaving Sarah Hall a legacy. They lived in that part of Scituate which became the "second presinct" of Marshfield.
The will of Timothy Hall, husbandman, of Marshfield, was made Sept 5 and admitted to probate Oct 13, 1753. He left to his daughter Sarah "the Feather bed and bolster that my Mother Hall Gave me and my large chest" and the clothes that were her mother's. To my son Timothy, "my Gun and Silver Shoe Buckles." Residue to my present wife Sarah" for life to help bring up the children, and what she leaves at her decease to be divided equally between the children that he had by her, Stephen, James, Seth, Daniel and Mary. Witnesses: Samuel Hatch, Mary Hatch, Atherton Wales. [Plymouth County Probate, No. 8952.]
Sarah Hall's brother Ebenezer Silvester moved to Wiscasset in Maine, and at least three of her sons also went to that eastern province.

By 1774 James Hall had moved from Marshfield to Waldoborough, Maine, where on Feb. 20, 1787, John Martin Shaffer, physician, sold to James Hall, shipwright, both being of Waldeborough, three hundred acres of land. [Lincoln Deeds, 28: 94] In the census of 1790 he is listed in the town of Bristol, his family consisting of himself, three males under sixteen and five females. The Walpole parish of Bristol being incorporated as Nobleborough, he became the first selectman of that town in 1790. He bought one hundred and fifty-one acres on Damariscotta Pond from Seth Curtis of Newcastle, deputy sheriff, and Silas Baker of Nobleboeough on April 16, 1795. [Lincoln Deeds, 34: 184] On Oct. 20, 1803, he deeded one hundred and fifty acres in Nobleborough to his son Daniel Hall. [Lincoln Deeds, 52: 218.]
[ In additions to the Hall brothers from Marshfield there were other Halls, not related to them, in Nobleborough and the neighboring towns. In 1790 in Bristol (Nobleborough) were Levi and William Hall. Levi Hall was probably related to James Hall of Ballston (Jefferson) to whom he sold land in 1798, and James Hall was probably father of John and Isaac Hall, also of Ballstown, to whom James deeded land in 1782. Also in 1790, Isaac and Ebenezer Hall, probably a father and son, wereliving in Newcastle. As a result, the name Hall is very common in Lincoln County, and Hall genealogy presents difficulties.]
