An uncle, Edward Hall (1806-1877) and his wife Rachel Hall and family settled in Adelaide in July 1848, so they are the first of Samuel Hall, Snr.'s family to move down-under.

Samuel, his wife, and one child (John Sinclair), departed London (Deal) in the barque Coromandel, on 13 December, 1848, and arrived in Port Phillip Bay on 8 May 1849, after passing through Adelaide. ^[1]

In Australia between 1849 and 1865 they had a further 7 children; 2 sons and five daughters, all born in Brighton (now Moorabbin). All but one survived to adulthood.

In 1857 his brother, Edward Hall with his wife, Mary, and 7 children emigrated to Melbourne.

In 1872 Samuel is known to be at Strathtulloh, near Melton, Victoria. Some time later he moved down to Loch, near where most of his children were living.
