• Notes

  John was a soldier in King Phillip's war and was in the swamp fight in 1675.  He was in the Narragansett expedition in 1689 and was advanced 16 pounds to sustain the war. The following information was provided by Kathleen (Shaw) Mackell in her Genealogical History dated 1984: "John Hall, the oldest son of Edward and Esther Hall, was born in Braintree in 1651.  He was only nineteen when his father died and he probably stayed with his mother to help with the farm.  When King Philip's War broke out in 1675, he was one of thirteen men drafted from Rehoboth.  For some reason, his name was omitted in Bodge's History of King Philip's War but in Old Rehoboth records (Rehoboth Rate Book II), he is listed as receiving 2 pounds, 18 shillings, and 8 pence and serving 39 days in 1675.  He later advanced money to carry on the war.  After the war was over, he returned to the farm, married Mary Newell in 1684, and was listed as a proprietor and inhabitant in Rehoboth in 1689.  John Hall had land given to him by his father, Edward, which was evidently in the original Rehoboth North Purchase.  It was fifty acres along both sides of the Ten Mile River and in a place called the Falls.  He sold it to Samuel Penfield and John Stevenson and they later sold it to Thomas Daggett."
