- From Jane Belcher (19 February 2007):
"died in the Phips expedition against Canada, in 1690; unmarried. His wages for services in the expedition were paid to his brothers, Samuel and John." [Nicholas White 15, 16]
died between 1690 and 21 November 1696; unmarried [Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton 4:331]
From the following extract of the General Court records, relating to William Hack, a sergeant of the company in which Nicholas Hall served, may be learned the suffering and probable cause of his death:
July 6th 1732
A petition of William Hack of Taunton in the county of Bristol showing that in the year 1690, he was a soldier in the expedition against Canada under the command of Captain Samuel Gallup, that they had the misfortune to be cast on the shore on the Island of Anticosta, a desolate Island, where he with others remained from October 1690 to July 1691 during which time many of the soldiers dyed with hardships, that he lost his fire arms and as he suggests has not received any wages for his service in that expedition, praying for a grant of land in satisfaction of his services and to make good his loss.
Read and ordered, That the petitioner be allowed by a serveyor and chain men on oath to survey and lay out one hundred and fifty acres of the unappropriated land of the Province and return a plat thereof to this Court within twelve months for confirmation. Sent up for concurence.
