• Notes

  There had earlier been the possibility that Jeremiah was the twin of Benjamin Hall. This has been disproven by ancestors of Benjamin's Hall (their father). Jeremiah Hall was one of the original proprietors of Upper Ashuelot and drew lot No. 2 on the east side, south end of Main Street where he built his house and lived while there. He was one of the leaders in settling the township and one of the first party of eight persons that went to Keene in 1734 and began the settlement. He was also one of the party that went to Keene in 1735 and was chosen moderator of the proprietors' meeting in the absence of Capt. Sady; and again in May, 1736, he was the leader of the party that went to Keene and spent the summer in building cabins and preparing for the next year's settlement. Again in the spring of 1737, he led the party that went to Keene for permanent settlement, was the standing moderator of the proprietors at the general court. His name is first on the list of members at the original organization of the church in 1738.  He was designated in the records in 1738 as "Capt.," and he was also a physician, the first in town, and was called Dr. Hall of Keene in the account of the scouting party, as given in the Annals, that caused the capture of Pierre Raimbault, near Northfield, in 1747. In 1744, he buried his daughter Kezia in Keene at the age of 16 years of age and ina son, Benjamin, three years old. He buried his wife, Dorothy, in Keene in January 1753 and soon afterwards removed to Pembroke, MA.  He was a Physician there in 1756, as appointed Surgeon's Mate, afterward Surgeon (Chirurgeon) of Col. Joseph Thatcher's regiment in the expedition to Crown Point in 1757.  In 1758, from March to November, he was surgeon of Col. Thomas Doty's regiment for the reduction of Canada.  In 1759, March 31 to December 31, Surgeon of Col. John Thomas' regiment in Halifax.
