"Percival Hall2, John1: b. in Cambridge, Feb. 11, 1672; d. in Sutton, Mass., Dec. 25, 1752, æ 80 years; … Percival Hall, of Medford, owned the covenant of the church of Cambridge in order to have his children baptized; and son Percival was baptized Nov. 20, 1698; he and his wife were admitted to full communion Dec. 31, 1699; he was one of the founders of the church of Medford, Feb. 11, 1713, and was chosen deacon in place of his father-in-law Thomas Willis, who resigned on account of old age, March 9, 1720. He was proprietor of Sutton in 1720, and removed to that place in the fall of 1720, or in the following spring; was dismissed from the church of Medford, Dec. 3, 1721, and with his wife was admitted to the church of Sutton, the same month, and not long after was chosen the 2d deacon of that church; he became a very prominent and efficient man in both church and town affairs. He appeared to be the chief means of the settlement of his kinsman Rev. David Hall, from Yarmouth, over the church of Sutton; he was a very large landed proprietor, and represented the town in General Court (see History of Sutton). His grandson Jonathan Hall, of Windsor, Vt., said 'that he was a short, thick man, and a great worker.' His grave is near that of his son Willis in the burying ground near the meeting house in Sutton Center, but there is no grave stone erected to his memory."
