Ebenezer Hall was the first settler of Matinicus Island, off the coast of Maine.

In 1750, he built a house and commenced farming, burning the land to produce better hay for his livestock. He also burned another island, infuriating the Penobscot Indians who hunted and fished in the area for their livelihood.

On June 1, 1757, they laid siege to Hall's house, and on June 10, 1757, killed and scalped him. His stepson Daniel Greene escaped, but his wife and children were taken captive.
