Research Notes

• The dates and place of birth are uncertain.
• Date of marriage and place are also uncertain.
• There is a Warwickshire church record for a December 1636 baptism of a child of Francis and Elizabeth Hall that could possibly be related to this profile.
• The later records from Stratford/Fairfield, Connecticut are more certain.
• The death of Elizabeth Hall (wife of Francis) in Fairfield (or Stratford) in July 1665 is noted in several sources. [WHERE?]
• Francis Hall remarried (to Dorothy, widow of Rev. Adam Blakeman) not long after Elizabeth's death.
• There is also a common mention in histories of Stratford (see Orcutt, 1886; Wilcoxson, 1939) of a document (source?) which indicates that Francis acquired from Elizabeth and later sold a house and property in England.
• Records also indicate that Francis was a owner of many properties in Connecticut and, in 1654, made a large purchase of land in the area of Fairfield.
