      BIO courtesy of Linda Hiross (#47490909):

      Son of James and Sarah (Wright) Hall. Married Persis (Tower) Lincoln, widow of Allen Lincoln, 21 May 1786 at Cohasset. A son, George W. was born to them about 1790, who married Cynthia Collier 27 Oct 1816 at Scituate. Three of George and Cynthia's sons, Isaac, Henry and Winslow migrated to California in the mid-1850's and established the famous Hall Shipbuilding company which eventually had shipyards in Washington state and Oregon. The Hall family legacy of quality shipbuilding was well known and respected in both Plymouth County, MA and on the West Coast for many decades.
