From FindaGrave:
WESTERN NEW YORKER, June 24, 1880
David Hall of Wethersfield died June 16, 1880 at the age of 78 years, 5 months, 11 days. He was born in Portmouth, R. I. and at age 10 months he and his parents moved to Madison, Madison county. In the Spring of 1824 he made first trip on foot to Wyoming county. The route of Orangeville, North Wethersfield, Java Lake, Sardinia, Springville, Merrill's Tavern, Well's Settlement and then finding more wilderness he turned back. Being handy with tools and a capital axman he found employment until the fall when he footed it back to Madison. In the spring of 1831, he, his wife, and two children came and settled in Hermitage where he resided until his death.
This tribute containing trip details is by C. A. Hall in the Western New Yorker. The Historical Wyoming, April 1955, pages 79-80, contains information on the early days of the Hall family.
