From David Hall, April 2019:

We don't know who Grace was but have enough evidence to be fairly sure she was Christopher's mother.

Grace Hall married Anthony White in Watertown MA 8 Sep 1645. The marriage does not state either way whether bride and/or groom were married previously.

If Grace was the widow of Christopher Hall's father, then her son Christopher, would be a step son to Anthony White and obviously we would expect them to all live together as a family.

Christopher Hall had a wife called Sarah who was probably his first wife. There is evidence from court papers concerning a dispute in 1678 where Sarah (Hall) gives evidence and refers to Anthony White's house as "our house". She was obviously living their with her children as an in-law. Why else would she call it "our house".

Also, one of the daughters of Christopher Hall and Sarah was called Grace - probably name after Christopher's mother. It's messy to explain but ties in and makes sense.

If correct, then Grace was probably an immigrant ancestor and married Christopher Hall's father either in New England or before emigrating.

We don't know where Christopher was born, but in another dispute in 1680 Christopher made a statement and gave his age as 44. Hence he was born 1635 or 1636. So Christopher could have been born in New England or before the family immigrated.

In summary, that is were we are with the research on Christopher's parents.
