Extract from letter of Ex-Gov. Hiland Hall.

NORTH BENNINGT0N, VT., Sept.23, 1884.

I am unable to give you any information of the Thomas Hall you mention; either his ancestors or descendants. He could not; I think, have belonged to my line of Halls, whose genealogy I have, from John Hall, born in England, in the year 1584, to my grandfather, Thomas Hall, who was born in Guilford, Connecticut, February 11, 1726, and died in Birmingham, in 1803.

Extract from letter of Rev. J. G. Hall, D. D.

903 Prospect St., Cleveland, Ohio.

I think we must be of different families, as I never knew of any of my kindred going South. 'We are from Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Woburn, Mass., Nov.21, 1885.

DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 18th inst., and printed slips are received. I cannot aid you more than to say that the Hall pedigrees relating to London are included in a volume now in this Library, made up of bound pamphlets, of which one, with the title Hall Pedigrees,. communicated by Rev. H. F. Hall, of High Legh. It is a small pamphlet of two pages, quarto size, compiled from visitations of London in 1568 and 1633-4, and extracted from Records of College Arms, examined and found correct, July 23, 1868, by the proper heraldic authority of the realm. The Hall names are: Thomas and John (1568): Thomas (1568) had sons Thomas and John (1568).

John, of London, had sons: John, Humfrey, and Thomas (1568).

John, of London (1633-4), had at that time sons: John Hall, of London, merchant, eldest son now living, 1633. He had 1, Martin, son and heir; 2, John; 3, Humfrey; 4, James; and daughters, Sarah, Alice. Elizabeth, and Mary.

Also, Thomas, of London, merchant, 1633, who had sons:

Thomas, aged 19 years, John, Humfrey, Daniel, and Joseph.

With this 1633-4 statement is presented autograph of Thomas Hall.

The above is illustrated further with other information of the period of 1568. I give the merest outline.

There are also extensive additions to visitation of London,
