The only of their children listed in Stow births is Dorothy, b. Dec 1714. This would seem to indicate that they came to Stow shortly before this and that their other children were born elsewhere.

Their marriage record has not been found; it is not in Concord (where Samuel was from), it is not in Groton (where Hannah was from), it is not in Stow (where they ultimately settled).

Children perported to be theirs (as listed by others) include:

  1. Jonathan Hall b: ABT 1701; confirmed; see notes for him.
  2. Dorothy Hall b: 22 DEC 1714 (only one listed in Stow VR births; may have married Samuel Ellis in Wrentham, MA then moved to Medway, MA)
  3. Stephen Hall, b. abt. 1700; intentions 25 Feb 1726 (Stow VR, p. 158) to Hepzibah Jones. But parents not named; certainly possible since Samuel's father was named Stephen. (not confirmed)
