- He was the husband of Margaret Hall and was 82 years old at his death.
Excerpted from the County Gazetteer & Directory of Caledonia & Essex Counties, compiled by Hamilton Child, May 1887:
"Another vessel laden with emigrants sailed from Greenock, Scotland in 1775, and got to Boston three weeks before the battle of Bunker Hill. They landed, but the British would not permit them to leave. Among them was Robert Hall and family, the great-grandfather of George L. Hall, now of South Ryegate. William, son of Robert, was pressed into the British army and fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. After nine months the family was moved by the British to Halifax, N.S. Robert, Jr., was six years old then, and twenty two when he afterwards came to Ryegate. His brother, James Hall, came to town some two or three years later. " ?thanks to Wanda Linzer
