Rumford Ministers. -- Rev. Samuel R. Hall.

SAMUEL READ HALL, the first Congregational minister in Rumsford, was born in Sutton, Mass., January 21, 1755. He was the son of Stephen and Mary (Taft) Read Hall, and a descendant of John Hall of Medford, Mass., in 1675, and in Cambridge in 1652, and who was born in England in 1627. When a young man Samuel R. Hall went to Croyden, Vt., and to Guildhall, where he resided several years. The people here were destitute of preaching, and Mr. Hall exhorted, conducted prayer meetings, and finally decided to go into the ministry. Just what time he arrived in Rumford does not appear, but probably about the year 1807. A vote was passed in town meeting in 1811, to extend a call to Rev. Samuel R. Hall to become the minister of the town at a salary of two hundred and fifty dollars, sixty to be paid in money and the balance in produce. Mr. Hall's wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Hezekiah Hall, and she died in Guildhall, Vt., June 14, 1806. Mr. Hall died in Rumford in 1814. Most of his family remained in Vermont. His son, Samuel Read Hall, Jr., came to Rumford and was teaching school in town in 1816. He became a famous teacher and introduced many improved methods of imparting instruction, one of which was the use of the black-board, which was used for the first time in an American school, in a district school in Rumford taught by Mr. Hall in 1816. The fact is stated in the Hall genealogy, and the writer of this volume also heard it from the lips of Abel Wheeler of Rumford, who was a teacher in the town contemporaneous with Mr. Hall. The children of Rev. Samuel R. Hall were:

I.     Hannah, b. Dec. 7, 1776, m. Micah Amy.
II.    Betsey, b. Sept. 10, 1778, m. John Whitten.
III.   Lucy, b. March 12, 1780, m. Caleb Amy.
IV.   Samuel, b. April 23, 1782, m. Hannah Swinnerton.
V.    Read, b. Dec. 12, 1784, d. Dec. 8, 1787.
VI.   Chloe, b. May 11, 1786, m. Asa Swinnerton.
VII.  Hezekiah, b. March 16, 1787, m. Mary Hawes.
VIII. Sarah, b. Feb. 24,1789, drowned by falling into a spring while in a fit, July 15, 1853.
IX.   Josiah Brewer, b. June 14, 1790, m. Roxanna Basset.
X.    Theodocia, b. Oct. 9, 1793, d. Feb. 13, 1795.
XI.   Samuel Read, b. Oct. 27, 1795, m. Mary Bascomb.

(Family 217). SAMUEL READ HALL⁴, pedigree as above; b. in Sutton, Jan. 27, 1755, bapt. March 23, 1755; d. in Rumford, Me., 1814; m., in Croyden, N. H., Nov. 1775, Elizabeth, dau. of Hezekiah and Elizabeth or Deborah (Taft) Hall, b. Dec. 1754; d. in Guildhall, Vt., June 14, 1806. She was living with her uncle Lieut. Edward Hall of Croydon, when she married (See Halls of Rehobath).

Samuel R. Hall, probably came to Croyden, to see about some land owned by his father, and settled there as a farmer. He held the offices of constable, collector, tithingman, moderator, etc., and was a soldier from that town in the revolutionary war. He had surveyed in 1794, some of the eastern townships of Canada, and purched the half of one of them, of fraudulent parties, and on Jan. 20, 1796, he started from Croydon, with his family, to go to Canada and take possession of his purchase, and proceeded as far as Guildhall, Vt., before he knew of the fraud. The swindlers had been paid, and Mr. Hall found himself in Guildhall (which was nearly a wilderness at that time), without the means to make any more purchases. He lived in Guildhall several years, and was a great spiritual blessing to the town; the people were destitute of the preached gospel, and Mr. Hall gathered them together and conducted prayer meetings, with exhortations, and his gifts and usefulness, appeared to justify his becoming a preacher of the gospel, and he was accordinhly ordained as a Congregational minister. In 1807, he removed to Rumford, Me., where he was the means of gathering a church, and became its pastor, and continued such until his death. Mrs. Hall was a feeble woman in the later years of her life. Children were:

1.  Hannah, b. Dec. 7, 1776; m. Micah Amy; resided in Guildhall, until her death, and then he went west; children were, i. Clarissa, d. aged about two years; ii. A dau. d. young.

2.  Betsey, b. Sept. 10, 1778 (Family 244).

3.  Lucy, b. March 12, 1780 (Family 245).

4.  Samuel, b. April 23, 1782 (Family 246)

5.  Read, b. Dec. 12, 1784; d. Dec. 8, 1787.

6.  Chloe, b. May 11, 1786 (Family 247).

7.  Hezekiah, b. March 16, 1787 (Family 248).

8.  Sarah, b. Feb. 24, 1789; d. by falling into a spring of water, July 14, 1853; she was unmarried.

9.  Josiah Brewer, b. June 14, 1790 (Family 249).

10. Theodocia, b. Oct. 8, 1793; d. Feb 13, 1795.

11. Read, b. Oct. 27, 1795, his name was changed, after his brother Samule's death, to Samuel Read (Family 250).

Notes:

As I continue to march through the descendants of Rev. Samuel Read Hall (1755-1814, Halls of Medford) and his wife Elizabeth Taft Hall (1754-1806, Halls of Rehoboth), I find another problem person whom I need some help with...
They had a son, Hezekiah Hall, b. 16 March 1787 in Cheshire county, New Hampshire. (I suspect it was either in Croydon or Cornish.)

I can find no obvious death record or other for him, but in FamilySearch, I see that they identify him as the Hezekiah Hall who married Mary/Polly Howes (1797-1884) on 18 Feb 1816 in New Sharon, Maine. They has Lydia Sears Hall (1819-1890) in 1819 and divorced in June 1822.

The marriage, birth and divorce are confirmed in the Howes genealogy. Hezekiah there is listed as Reverend, but his parents are not identified. Mary is a daughter of James Howes and Priscilla Sears and has three Halls of Yarmouth ancestral lines.

I can find no obvious Hezekiah Hall on the Yarmouth family and would be surprised that a Hezekiah of the "Upper Valley" New Hampshire would head east to Maine and not like others of his family west to Vermont... of course assuming he did not die young.

One suggestion was that he might be part of the Hatevil Hall family but I cannot prove that.

Lydia Sears Hall married late in life in Washington, DC where she worked as a clerk in Treasury to Isaiah W Graffum. She was living in Newton, Mass. when she died in 1890. Her death record only mentions her mother Mary Hall.

I have looked in Maine census for clues, but I have not found Mary or Hezekiah in 1820 or other census. I suspect they were separated at the time of that census.

As always, I appreciate any help to solve this. As FamilySearch does not offer any proof, I will not link these Hezekiah's for now.

--> I should have checked Halls of New England before those last posts...

M., sent her (with others) as a teacher to the Choctaw Indians ; she was cared for and supported by the John street church, of Lowell, principally in this mission; she was one of the original members of this church; her health failing, she removed after five years of labor and retired for recuperation to the quiet life of former times in Maine and Massachusetts. One of the irritating causes of her ill health among  the Indians, was their toleration of slavery, although few practiced it. The repeal by congress of what was called the Missouri compromise (which forbade the extension of slavery to the north, beyond a specific line), aroused her patriotism and love of universal freedom ; and she with many others of like mind, rushed to the west and established themselves at Lawrence, Kansas, where they fought a moral battle and to some extent a physical one, for five long yearsm in order to keep the virgin soil of that new territory from the cursed with the blight if slavery. The task of these patriots would have been an easy one, had not the general government at Washington lent its influence to the side of slavery extension and against the cause of freedom; here is where the war began which subsequently deluged the land in blood. After the battle of Antietam, Lydia was found nursing the sick and wounded soldiers in the hospitals at Washington, until her health failed, and she recieved an appointments as clerk in the Treasury department, until May, 1872, when she went to reside in New Bedford, Mass.

(Family 250) READ HALL⁵, pedigree as before : b. in Croydon, N. H., Oct. 27, 1795 ; d. in Brownington, Vt., on Sunday, June 24, 1877, in his 82d year, m., 1st, June 17, 1823, Mary Dascomb, of Wilton, N. H.; the beauty of whose life equalled that of his own, she d. Nov., 1836 ; m., 2d, June 3, 1838, Mary, dau. of Deacon Solomon Holt, of Andover, Mass., who was the companion and solace of his old age, and who survived him ; she lives with her youngest son in Brownington, who is the only of of Mr. Hall's eleven children now living.

Read Hall assumed the name of Samuel after the death of a brother of that name, and is generally known as Samuel R. Hall ; he went with his parents, when a child, from Croydon to Guildhall, Vt.,during his entire youth he suffered much from feeble health ; owning to his father's los of property he was unable to obtain a collegiate education, but pursued a full course of classical study at Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N. H., in 1815,6,8,9 ; he received the honorary degree of A. M. from Dartmouth College in 1839, and that of LL.D. from the University of Vermont in 1865.

He began to teach school at the age of twenty. He said of himself, later in life, "One of the first convictions fastened on my mind, after I became a teacher, was that the whole system of education of education in the country was defective ; and that time of scholars in the common schools was, in a great measure, lost ; I taught in Maine, New Hampshire and other states, and in each state observed the same facts l I determined, therefore, to do what I could, to reform abuses and correct evils ; my efforts were apppreciated and my services sought at my own prices." This encouraged him to persevere, and the result was that he became eminent as a teacher and trainer of teachers.

"Great persistency and personal enthusiasm on whatever engaged his attention, breadth of generalization, and large capacity for labor, combined with warmth and earnestness of heart, were among Mr. Hall's prominent characteristics, and doubtless gave the key his life's success. His views of both the importance and the methods of the education of youth, as based upon religious grounds, were at the beginning in advance of his time, and his contributions to educational reform will remain as the chief memorial of his service."

But Mr. Hall was not content with merely teaching school ; his religious conviction of duty led him to seek the ministry of the gospel. He studied theology with Rev. Walter Chapin, of Woodstock, Vt., and Rev. William Eaton, of Fitchburgh, Mass., and was licensed to preach by the Worcester North Association at Princeton, Mass., May, 1822 -- at the sale time receiving an appointment to labor as a missionary at Concord, Vt., where he commenced his labors June 2, 1822 ; and by and understanding with his people he established a seminary for training teachers, which opened in March, 1823 -- here, in an obscure corner of New England, self prompted and alone in planning, he eastablished the first normal school in America,

The school was successful, and those who went out from it were greatly sought as teachers in Vermont, New Hampshire and Canada. A Course of lectures was given each year to his students, and in 1829 a small volume of lectures on teaching, was committed to the press; it became so popular, that three editions were soon exhausted -- the third, of 1,000 copies was taken by the State of New York. One method which he invented for teaching, was the blackboard; he introduced it for use in his school in Rumford, Me., in 1816 ; it had never been used before in America.

Mr. Hall was dismissed from his charge in Concord, June, 1830, to take charge of the English Normal School of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., for which an elegant building has since been erected, at a cost of $8,000.

His success at Concord and Andover, together with lectures on the subject and written appeals, gradually awakened the public mind ; his efforts, in connection with those of G. B. Emerson, --- Morse, the author of the geography, E. A. Andrews, Benjamin Greenleaf, N. Cleveland and others, by memorial presented to the legislature,ted the establishment of the board of education in Massachusetts, 1837, and in 1838 the normal school, the first endowed by any state in the Union.

The full course at Andover was three years, but so great was the demand for teachers, that few of the students completed it.

After seven years at Andover, his health became so much impared by overtasking and the unfavorable influence of the climate so near the sea, he was led to resign the charge of the seminary and to accept the appointment of principal of the Teachers' Seminary then being established at Plymouth, N. H. There he was assited in the school by Miss Arethusa Hall, an accomplished teacher and author ; they were both descended from Deacon Percival Hall, of Sutton, in the third degree, but knew not that they were cousins, to such low degree of neglect had genealogical knowledge and interest fallen ; owing to pecuniary embarrassment of the Trustees, Mr. Hall left Plymouth at the end of the third year.

After closing the seminary at Plymouth, he accepted a call from the church of Craftsbury, Vt., July 8, 1840 ; this pastorate continued for thirteen and a half years, during which he received nearly 100 persons to church membership ; he was also for a portion of the time, principal of the Craftsbury Academy, and left a valuable cabinet of minerals, well arranged, to the institution ; here his labors had become too much for his state of health and he was obliged to seek for a field less onerous ; accordingly, he was dismissed, Jan 4, 1858, and immediatley commenced labors at Brownington, Vt., on a salary of $400 per annum, and continued until Feb. 5, 1867, when he resigned on account of old age.

Here he purchased a farm, upon which his son and widow find a comfortable home.

While pastor of the church of Brownington he received upwards of sixty members to the church ; he was also postmaster of Brownington from Aug. 1, 1863, to Feb. 1, 1865. Still his active nature could not rest, and he labored for three years from 1872 to 1875, at Granby, Vt., in a church which he had organized 50 years previous. This was accomplished with much acceptance and usefullness. At the close of his labors in Granby, he had a call to preach in another church, but the increasing infirmity of old age forbade his accepting it.

He was well acquainted with astronomy, and gave lectures on the subject in other places, when laboring at Granby in extreme old age. In the science of geology he was also an enthusiast, and an acknowledged master l he sought to popularize and make practical the science, especially in its bearings upon the agricultural interest of the state ; in the geological survey of Vermont, under Prof. Edward Hitchcock, commenced in 1857, he had the especial charge of the survay, and the collection of specimens, in the three most northerly sections of the thirteen, into chich the state was divided. He said there was gold in that section, but not enough to pay for working. He frequently gave lectures on geology.

The following are the most important of his published works : "The Child's Assistant to a Knowledge of the Geography and History of Vermont" --- and as revised and enlarged, is now in use in the common schools of the state -- "Lectures on Teaching," 1829; in 1932, "Lectures to Female School Teachers," "The Child's Instructor" and "Arithmetical Manuel;" in 1833. "Practical Lectures on Parental Responsibility and the Religious Education of Children," "The Grammatical Assistant" and "A School History of the United States," and in 1868, "The Alphabet of Geology." Aside from these, he was the author of numerous contributions to the Journal of Education and other periodicals.

At he opening of Oberlin College, Rev. Dr. S. R. Hall was appointed it first president, and he sent his brother-in-law, Prof. John Dascomb, to make a beginning who, I believe, is there yet ; but Dr. Hall did not go on, for some reason which I do not understand. [Oberlin started in 1832 and had two acting Presidents before the first one Asa Mahan started in 1835 as its first President. Samuel was teaching a Phillips Andover at the time. His brother Josiah Brewer Hall removed to Oberlin in 1834.]

Such was the public career of a remarkable man ; but he was more remarkable for the simpplicty of his life and manners, his unselfishness of heart and the amiabilitiy of his disposition. He manifested an interest in everybody, and was willing to do all he could to make them happy. None knew him but to love him as a dear friend or near kindred.

1.  Harriet Elizabeth, b. July 7, 1824 ; d. April 6, 1826.

2.  Mary Theodocia, b. April 5, 1827 ; f. March 8, 1834.
