An earlier published bio says "A baker by trade, came over from England about 1722 and settled in State (then King) Street, Boston, but removed to New Meadows or Harpswell, about 1737."
I suspect that the above statement about coming from England is not correct.
Isaac Hall may be related to the Ebenezer Hall who married Jane Bumpus and died on Matinicus Island. This Ebenezer had preceded Isaac Hall in Harpswell. See also Susannah Young, the wife of Ebenezer Hall, son of the preceding Ebenezer. She was buried next to descendants of Isaac Hall.
--> John Lisle note (2019) : Ebenezer Hall has been proven by DNA to be part of the Hall of Taunton family. (DNA Family 024). Descendant of Isaac has been tested and is DNA Family 006, although we do not know who was his immigrant ancestor.
Selectman in Harpswell 1758, p 930
Hunch by Neil Hall, Dec 2007. Considering Preserved Hall, b. 1663, of Hingham, MA as his father. Preserved Hall, married in 1698, the widow of Israel Leavitt, Lydia Jackson Leavitt. Her grandson, David Leavitt, married Isaac Hall's daughter Susannah.
--> Cheryl Hall note (2019) : Isaac is not mentioned in Preserved's Will so this parentage is unlikely.

Note by Neil Hall in 2003: The Boston census for 1707 lists a Hall Bakr??/ Is this a person named Hall who was a baker? If so, may have been related to, or even Isaac Hall. This may have been the source of calling Isaac Hall a baker. If this is the case, then he may have arrived earlier. Or maybe he simply was not a baker. Given his later move to Harpswell and becoming a sailor and farmer there, I question if he was a baker.

Prior to 1740 the land where Isaac Hall settled on Merriconeag Neck was considered part of North Yarmouth. The actual village with the church meetinghouse was thirty miles away by land, or a dangerous 12 mile crossing of two bays, while the Brunswick meeting house was only 3 miles over land from the closet part of the neck. The landowners therefore petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to allow them to be released from North Yarmouth and annexed to Brusnwick. Isaac Hall, Elisha Allen (brother-in-law to Ebenezer Toothaker) and Ebenezer Toothaker were three of the signers of this petition. The land was transferred to Brunswick in 1740. Eventually in 1758 the area was set aside as a separate district under the name of Harpswell. At the first meeting of the new district in 1758 Isaac Hall was one of the three elected selectmen and assessors.
