... Thomas Hall received from his father in consideration of love and affection a house and one acre lot as his $500 portion. He purchased 50 acres and owned nearly as much more in right of his wife, all of which he sold in 1759 and purchased 100 acres on "Good Hill," Roxbury Parish, Woodbury, Conn., where he resided twenty years. In 1778 he sold out for $2,600, lawful money, and purchased about forty acres of land in Williamstown, Mass., and a right of three hundred and fifty acres in Cornwall, Vt., and the farm in Bennington, Vt., occupied and improved by his son Nathaniel and grandson Hiland Hall, and which still belongs to his descendants. He removed from Woodbury to Bennington, Vt., in 1779. Here his residence was within a mile from the residence of the heroic Col. Seth Warner, who also had been his neighbor in Roxbury Parish, Conn. They were both honored founders and heroic defenders of the State of their adoption. ...
