    [See note by Anderson on p 843: He notes that both Savage and Wyman's "Charlestown" 2:454 suggest this John Hall originated from Coventry in England but there is no evidence to support this claim whatsoever. Charles Edward Banks in "Topographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants to New England, 1620-1650" citing "Banks Mss." claims he was from St. Mary Whitechapel, London without evidence presented. Anderson states that his origins are unknown.]

    John Hall, the founder of the Hall family of Yarmouth, was among the early settlers. The exact date of his arrival is not known. He was for a time in Barnstable. Probably he came about 1667. It is claimed that he came from Coventry, England. He was twice married; his first wife being Bethia, and his second Elizabeth. His family consisted of twelve children, nine of them sons, namely: Samuel, John, Joseph, William, Benjamin, Elisha, Nathaniel, Gershom and one other. With this patriarchal family, Mr. Hall cast in his lot with the builders of Yarmouth. He took his farm in the central part of the village of Nobscusset, at the head of the stream which runs westerly and southerly through North Dennis. He was a worthy citizen and a valuable addition to the growing town. He was buried at a good old age, on his own land, in 1696. His gravestone is the oldest in North Dennis. His sons rendered much service to the town; some going on military expeditions against the Indians and others filling important civic stations. ...
