Story:
The John Hall who married Esther Hubbard and the John Hall who married Mary Willis were two different people. This is easily demonstrated because they both have children being born at the same time. However, many esearchers conflate these two different John Halls.

My working assumption - and this is something that I am currently working on for the Hall Families of New England study I am involved with (https://www.albionseed.com) - is that the John Hall born to Daniel Hall and Phebe Ward in 1717 was the John Hall who married Esther Hubbard and died in 1808 and is buried with his wife in the Old Farm Hill Cemetery in Middletown.

The key records of that family from the Barbour collection are:

Ancestry.com. Connecticut Town Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection)

HALL, John, s. Daniel & Phebe, b. May 26, 1717 (Vol. LR2, p. 26)

HALL, John, 2nd, m. Esther HUBBARD, Sept. 21, 1749 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, Esther, d. John & Esther, b. July 20, 1750 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, John, s. John & Esther, b. Apr. 27, 1752 (Vol. 2, p. 247)
---, Elizabeth, d. Jno. & Esther, b. May 15, 1754 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, Hannah, d. Jno.. & Esther, b. Mar. 29, 1756 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, David, s. Jno. & Esther, b. Feb. 15, 1758 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, Phebe, d. Jno. & Esther, b. Mar. 12 1760 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, Jonathan, s. Jno & Esther, b. Mar. 12, 1762 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, Ruth, d. Jno. & Esther, b. Sept. 13, 1764 (Vol. 2, p. 257)
---, John, d. July 16, 1808 (Vol. 2, p. 257)

That death date for John at aged 92 based on the headstone with the memorial for Esther also in same cemetery with death in 1797 seems like good evidence for this John being the son of Daniel Hall and Phebe Ward.

The records for the John Hall and Mary Willis family give fewer clues.

HALL, John, Carpenter, m. Mary WILLIS, Dec. 14, 1752 (Vol. 2, p. 344)
---, John, s. John & Mary, b. Jan. 22, 1753 (Vol. 2, p. 344)
---, Mary, d. John & Mary, b. Dec. 15, 1754 (Vol. 2, p. 344)
---, Thomas, s. John & Mary, b. Oct. 14, 1756 (Vol. 2, p. 244)
---, William, s. John & Mary, b. Nov. 6, 1758 (Vol. 2, p. 344)

A death record for a John Hall in Middletown of 25 December 1786 has been put up, but I cannot find the source for this so it is difficult to prove who it is for (eg, age at death).

The record below has been widely interpreted are being Mary's death record.

HALL, w. John, d. Oct. 1, 1762 (Vol. 1, p. 6)

This is definitely not Mary (Willis) Hall. FindaGrave morial for Mary Hall of Hartford died in 1825 where she is represented as widow of John Hall of Middletown and the sister of her daughter in law memorialized on the same memorial is more convincing:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/146471549

At this point I do not know who the widow of John who died in 1762 was.

Esther married John Hall, II on 21 Sep 1749 in Middletown, Hartford County, Connecticut. John (son of Captain Daniel Hall and Phebe Ward) was born on 26 May 1717 in Middletown, Hartford County, Connecticut; was christened on 26 May 1717 in Middletown, Hartford County, Connecticut; died on 12 Jul 1808 in Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut; was buried on 16 Jul 1808 in Old Farm Hill Cemetery, Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut.
