Thomas Hall, eldest son of James Hall, Sr. and Prudence (Roddy) Hall, was born in Londonderry Twp., Dauphin Co., PA in 1739. In 1752, he came with his parents and their family to North Carolina, where they settled in what is now called Iredell County, in a neighborhood now called Bethany Township, from the church of that name.

Fergus Sloan was one of the first settlers to build a home on land that was afterwards made a part of the town of Statesville, North Carolina.

Thomas Hall settled on a farm about one-half mile west of the site of Bethany Church, later known as the Howard Farm, and built his house several yards west of Ebenezer Academy near a branch. The spring could still be located in 1938.
