[This Thomas Hall is mentioned in describing the ownership of A25, which is southeast of Pungoteague.
The patent was originally issued to Robert Parker, the father of Thomas Hall's wife Margaret, in 1649. Robert Parker died in England in 1673 and left his Virginia plantation to any daughter who would go there and live. It was claimed by Margaret Parker who married first Thomas Hall and then John Shepherd, who in 1686 gave bond to turn over to Jane, Thomas and John Hall, when they became of age, the estate due them from their father Thomas Hall, whose widow Margaret was then the wife of Shepard.
The son Thomas apparently inherited the land, but in 1714 died intestate, leaving a wife Jane and a son Thomas to inherit. Thomas Hall's will of 1775 disposed of only 536 acres in three parts to Anna Maria Andrews and Jean Hall and Margaret Fisher for life, and then to a grandson Thomas Hall Fisher.
The part that went to his daughter Anna Maria Andrews was the waterfront part north of the Nandua Wharf road. In 1783 Anna Maria Andrews, widow of William, deeded to her son Thomas Hall Parker 179 acres, and two years later he and his wife Peggy Parker sold to Edward Ker.
The part that went to his daughter Margaret Fisher was the southeastern part and in 1797 Margaret Fisher had married a Bradford, and she joined with her son Thomas Hall Fisher and his wife Prissy in a sale of 179 acres to George Ker.
The part that went to his daughter Jean Hall was the waterfront part south of the neck road. Jean married Richard Read and in 1797 they sold 178 acres to John Read, who deeded it back the next day. In 1812 the Reads sold to Hutchinson Kellam. At the mouth of the neck road is the present settlement known as Pennyville.]
