Notes:

_______________

Although all of the historical research on the ancestry of Ensign Edward Hall suggests that he was a son of Benjamin Hall as a descendant of the Halls of Rehoboth, no birth record has been found to confirm this, and, as of October 2022, no DNA evidence exists to verify it either.

Dean Crawford Smith in his book, "The Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton: 1878-1908, Part IV" (by Dean Crawford Smith and Melinde Lutz Sanborn, Boston, NEHGS, 2000) documents that Edward was a son of John Hall (1666-c.1737) and Esther Bell who are descendants of the Halls of Taunton.

Until evidence can verify this one way ot the other, I am leaving both possible pedigrees available with a preference for Edward being a son of Benjamin.
