- From Turner's History of Paris, Maine, p. 165:
"Liberty Hall, Jr., the fifth son m. Abigail Partridge of Paris, Me. When a young man he learned the trade of carpenter and went to Cuba, where he acquired some knowledge of the Spanish language. He was there some little time, working his trade. He returned to Peru, having his earning two hundred dollars Spanish silver, rare coins to back-woodsmen in those days. Libert visited his old home, George Walker's. A speciman of the coin was exhibited as a curiosity. Now it was revealed that "Uncle George" as all the neighbors called him, had a special fondness for silver, so he exchanged bank bills for the whole pile. It was observed ever after, that his tender was paper money. Over forty years after, a goodly portion of those coins resumed circulation.
"Liberty Hall was a professor of religion, a a zealous advocate for the cause. He was life and power in social meetings, an honest, honorable man."
