Joseph Hall was the first one of the brothers to go to Mansfield; the land there was laid out in 1694, and incorporated as a separate town in 1703; the charter was given to 14 persons, and the three brothers, Joseph Hall, Benjamin Hall and William Hall, were respectively No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 on the list. In 1710 the three brothers, and Isaac, son of Benjamin, were four of the ten who consituted the church of Mansfield; it was the first church in Tolland county, and was established by Rev. Eleazer Williams, son of Rev. John Williams, who was killed by the Indians in Deerfield; Joseph Hall was chosen deacon, but his disignation is not put on his grave stone in Dennis; (there is not grave stone in Mansfield earlier than 1749); he was the first town clerk of Mansfield, and continued in office until his death; the place which he owned and lived in Mansfield Center, probably fell into the hands of Theophilus Hall, and was owned and occupied by one of his descendants in 1877, Capt. Joseph P. Barrows; Joseph Hall left no children, and his grave stands alone in the grave yard in Dennis.
