Graduated Harvard College in 1724 and received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from Dartmouth College in 1777. Ordained as the 2nd Pastor of the 1st Congregational Church in Sutton 15 Oct 1729. The records of the first 8 years of its existence are lost, having been carried away by the 1st pastor.

They had children - David Harvard, Elizabeth, Rebeckah, Mary, Hannah, Sarah, John, Benjamin, Lucy, Joseph, Jonathan, Deborah
Death year of 1787 that is in the drawing of his crypt, is in error. Although the brown stone cap of Rev. Hall's crypt is very weather-worn and lichen damage, the last digit in the year is definitely 9 , not 7. Contributed by Ross Weaver Sutton Historical Society member
