... Immediately, after resigning as surgeon in the Revolutionary Army, April 5, 1780, Dr. Jacob Hall moved to Harford County, Maryland, and began the practice of medicine near where Deer Creek enters the Susquehanna. We can only conjecture as to the reason why he selected this neighborhood. The Halls of Mt. Welcome, Cecil County, just across the river, were near connections by marriage, Dr. Elisha Hall of Mt. Welcome having married Ruth Hall, the sister of Jacob Hall's father. ...

... Ruth Hall 8 (Jacob 1 Joseph 2 ), daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Rutter) Hall was apparently the youngest of four daughters who reached maturity. She married May 27, 1746, at Trinity-Church, Oxford, Philadelphia County, Dr. Elisha Hall of Mount Welcome, Cecil County, Maryland. He was a son of Elihu Hall (1692-1753) of Mount Welcome and his wife Sarah Harrison, Maryland, and a grandson of Richard Hall, of Calvert County, Maryland. Dr. Elisha Hall is said to have been born in 1729; d. 1757, but this is improbable as he is known to have been married in 1746, which would make him only seventeen at the time of his marriage and therefore several years younger than his wife. Dr. Elisha Hall after his marriage continued to live in Maryland. As far as is known the families of Elisha Hall and his wife, Ruth Hall, were entirely distinct. Elisha Hall's will proved, Cecil Co. Nov. 30, 1757. ...
... Ruth (Hall) Hunt died prior to August 7, 1794, as is shown by a letter from her son, Wm. P. Hunt, to his aunt Mrs. Susanna Morris, mother of Dr. Benj. Rush, of this date in which he refers to the death of both his parents as apparently recent occurrences. No will or administration on her estate has been found in Montgomery County. ...
