Eleven children are listed including George Hall born 10 September 1805. The book mentions that James Durfee removed his family to Madison, New York in 1803. That is where William Hall and Mary Durfee's son George was most likely born.

pp: 240-241

115. Durfee, James (Samuel 3rd, William 2d, Thomas 1st). Son of Samuel and Mercy (Durfee) Durvey, of Tiverton, R. I.; born in Tiverton, R.I., July 14, 1749; died in Madison, N.Y.; married in Tiverton, R.I., September 26, 1773, to Mary Burrington, of Portsmouth, R. I., daughter of Robert and Sarah (Brown) Burington; born in Portsmouth, R. I., October 10, 1755; died in Madison, N.Y., in April 1844.

Their children were:
...
275. -- 2d.  Mary, born June 24, 1776.
...

The home of Mr. Durfee was in Tiverton, R. I., where all of his children were born, and where his oldest daughter was married. His residence was on his farm, which he cultivated. His grandson, Stephen Durfee, states the "he sold his farm and two slaves," and his granddaughter write that he removed to Madison, N. Y., in 1803, and purchased a farm near Madison, on which he lived only a few years, dying probaby in 1805, when his oldest son, Samuel, was but 16 years old. The family remained together at the new home until, one by one, they started in life for themselves. Samuel succeeded in becoming the owner of the homestead, and finally it passed into the possession of his son, Benjamin A. Durfee.

Mrs. Hammond, of Milford, Kent Co., Del., write in her letter of May 8, 1896, of the death of her uncle, Burrington Durfee as follows:

"Burrington Durfee's death was singular as well as sad. He was building with a carpenter shingling, when some birds kept flying over his head. He threw up his hand with a chisel in it to frighten them off. It flew out of the handle, came down, strick him on his thoigh, severed an artery -- bled to death -- barely reached his home. He was a promising young man."

No record of the date of his death has been give. He was unmarried.
