Halls of Portsmouth, R. I.

The emigrant ancestor was

(Family 1.) William Hall¹. On the 8th day of the 8th month in 1638, the name of William Hall was one of a list of 59 persons admitted inhabitants of an island on the coast of Rhode Island, now call Aqueedunk. In 1639 William Hall was an inhabitant of Newport, R. I. And on the 27th day pf the 5th month, in 1644, a parcel of land in Portsmouth, R. I., was granted to William Hall by the town. His name was on a list of freemen of Portsmouth in 1655. William Hall sold, on the 6th day of the 7th month, 1654, to Richard Sisson of Portsmouth, 1-300 of an island called Canonocut and 1-300 of Dutch Island. William Hall was commissioner to General COurt from Portsmouth to General Assembly in 1654, 56, 60 and 63. And he was Deputy from Portsmouth to General Assembly in 1665, 66, 67, 68, 72 and 73. In 1673 he was appointed on a committee for the purpose of treating with the Indians about drunkenness, and to soriously council them, and agree of some way to prevent extreme excess of Indian drunkenness. Five chiels are named, among whom is the name of the famous Philip of Mount Hope, called King Philip, with whom the committee would treat.

There may be some foundation for the following statement by the late James Usher, genealogist of 9 Murray street, New York. He says, "We have the transatlantic trace of William Hall, clergyman. He is believed to be the same William Hall who was a writer in London, and contnued the 'Fab you Chronical' began by Sir Thomas More. And there is reason to believe a connection existed between William Halll and the Lord Chancelor's family. (See an article in an early number of Harper's Magazine, by Mrs. Hall, of Chelsea Church, England.) William Hall, of London, went out of record there in 1638, the same year that William Hall began record in Portsmouth. THomas Clement, a connection of the Mores, was an original founder of Portsmouth, R. I., and was a neighbor of William Hall, and the administrator of his estate."

Mr. Usher emblazoned a coat of arms which he knew or supposed to belong to William Hall, for Theo. C. Hall, of 174 Lexington Avenue, New York, who is a descendant of William Hall of Portsmouth. It consists of three Talbot's heads, Chivron in black ground, and the crest a Griffin's head, az.

Mrs. Mary Clapp, of East Greenwich, R. I., a lady over 80 years of age, and a descendant of William Hall, informs me of a tradition in the family that "William Hall was one of five brothers who came over, one of whom settled at Exeter, R. I."

William Hall made his will on the 20th day of the 11th month, 1673, which was probated on the 19th day of the 2nd month in 1676. No mention is made in it of Thomas Clement. But he say "I do ordain, substitute and appoint my truly and well beloved friend and yoke fellow, Mary, my wife, to be my whole and sole executrix, into whose hands and possion I do give and bequeath my whole estate during her life, and, considering the weakness of my said wife, I do appoint my two younger sons, viz.: William and Benjamin, to be assistants to their mother in the managing of whatever business she shall have need of during her life; and after her decease, I do hereby give power to my above named two sons to see my will performed as following, that is to say: and after the decease of the last of us, either me or my wife, my will is that my son Zurill Hall shall have and enjoy that twenty acres of land whereon his dwelling house now stands. Next, my mind and will is that my son Benjamin shall have my new dwelling house and land thereto adjoining; and, further, my will is that my three sons, Zurill, William, and Benjamin, shall have all of my land in the Narragansett which I purchased of Thomas Lawton, to be equally divided between them. And, further, I do give and bequeath unto my son Benjamin my cart horse, with my cart and plow, and the tackling thereto belonging; and as for the remainder of my estate, together with that which I have lent my son William, shall be divided into four equal parts, viz.: one-fourth thereof to my son William; one-fourth part to my daughter Elizabeth; one-fourth part to my daughter Rebeecka, and the other fouth part to my daughter Deliverance." Thus we gather the names of the children of William Hall:

1.  Zurill (Family 2).
2.  William (Family 3).
3.  Benjamin (Family 4).
4.  Elizabeth.
5.  Rebecka.
6.  Deliverance.
