Notes:

Benjamin Hall was commissioned Lieutenant by the Crown; his son Benjamin was probably also a Lieutenant; on a list of a company of foot soldiers in 1773, were Lt. Benjamin Hall, Samuel Hall, Jesse Hall and Ziba Hall; on the alarm list 1773, were Benjamin Hall, Jr. and Nathan Hall; among the signers of the Association Test of 1776, were Jesse Hall and Samuel Hall, but Lt. Benjamin Hall refused to sign it; Lt. Benjamin preserved a coat of arms. 

In 1785, among the purchasers of pews in the new meeting-house in Keene, were Benjamin Hall, Esq., Benjamin and Hannaniah Hall.  In 1800, Dr. Ziba Hall protested against being taxed for support of the minister, being a Universalist (he lived one time in Lebanon).  In 1789, Benjamin Hall, Esq., was on a committee in Winchenden to obtain materials for bulding a meeting-house, and Dr. Ziba Hall was on a committee to select the place or site for its location.

Benjamin, along with the children known by name, also had a daughter whose name is not known at this time, who married Maj. Ames of the Rising Sun Hotel, Boston, MA.  Lt Benjamin Hall and his sons James, Hannaniah, and Josiah, being tories, removed to Canada and settled near Toronto.  He was a large man weighing some 400 lbs.

The following is from the History of Keene, Biographical Sketches: 

"Lieut. Benjamin Hall.  His name first appears in the records in 1761, when he bought of William Smeed and his wife Phebe (who had removed to Walpole), six original house-lots - numbers 12, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27 - and seventeen other lots of the several divisions of land in the township. He also owned, afterwards, house-lots numbered 16, 17, and 18 and much other land in town, amounting to several thousand acres. In 1768, he sold to Jesse Clark a farm of 100 acres 'lying in the crotch of Ash Swamp Brook,' where Mr. Clark and his son, Jesse, Jr., kept tavern for many years, and built the house west of the small pond, since known as the Ingersoll house.  In 1783, he bought of Dr. Gideon Tiffany, then of Hanover, NH, a farm of sity acres, with saw and grist mills, on the North branch - the mills since known as the peg factory.
   
"His wife's name was Melatiah, and his children were:  Nathaniel, Ziba, Hannaniah, James, Benjamin, Josiah, Bela; and a daughter Betty, who married Maj. Luther Eames, who kept a public house with Aaron Eames.

"Lieut. Hall was selectman nine years between 1762 and 1774, and again in 1784-5-6.  He represented the town in the legislature in 1771-2-3-4, and again in 1784-5 and 1787.  He was a lieutenant of the militia company here in 1773, but in 1776 he refused to sign the Association Test, and was dropped from all official positions. He was not, however, actrive against the patriots, was considered a man of sound judgment and discretion, and after the war was again entrusted with responsible offices, as appears above.  He died in 1805."

Bela lived in Windsor, VT until 1840 when he removed to the west, being childless, his only daughter who had married Mr. Stevens of Windsor, having died.  Rev. R. S. Hall, D.D. said that Bela Hall was a kinsman of his on his mother's side.
This is a strong proof that they both were the descendants of Edward Hall, the first of Rehoboth.

Notes:

The following is directly from the book, HALLS OF NEW ENGLAND by Rev. David B. Hall, 1883:

James Hall, residence St. Dennis near Baltimore, MD; his wife dead in the autumn of 1829, leaving a son and a daughter, the son married and his wife dead at Nassau, West Indies, 1874, leaving two sons of eleven and nine years old. 

After the death of his parents, James went to live with his sister, Mrs. Blake and at her death went to Peter Brown's of Stafford, a tanner and shoemaker, where his brother Benjamin was an apprentice and in 1810, at the marriage of his brother Jonathan
C, he went to live with him and remained four years, after which he studied at several schools to prepare for college and then went to live with his Uncle, Dr. Nathan Smith, whose first wife was Elizabeth, the daughter of General Jonathan and Thankful (Sherman) Chase. 

Dr. Smith was a professor of surgery at Yale College, and James Hall lived with him three years and studied medicine while assisting him as steward at his house.  Dr. Smith also gave lectures at Bowdoin College, ME, in which James Hall was his assistant and dissector and graduated there in 1822 and settled in the practice of medicine at Claremont, NH, where he married a Miss Sumner. 

He afterwards removed to Windsor, VT and boarded in the family of Jonathan Hall whose son Israel married two of his nieces.  He had a good practice in Windsor for two years, when in 1829, his left knee became affected with rheumatism and he had been under the necessity of using a crutch and a cane ever since. The following winter he spent in Cuba, West Indies, and having seen enough of slavery in Cuba, he spent the next two winters (those of 1830 and 1831), in Haiti. 

From the next June to November, he was laid up in the Infirmary at Baltmore, MD when hearing that a vessel was about to sail for Liberia, Africa with emigrants. He applied for passage and was taken on a mattress in a carriage to the vessel, he then weighed 91 lbs., with boots and overcoat, etc. His three medical attandants gave their opinion of him as follows: Dr. Wright said, "Mr. Hall will never reach the Cape of Chesapeake;" Dr. Baker said, "he will not reach the coast of Africa;" but Dr. Smith who better understood Dr. Hall's will power said "he will arrive safely, but will fall with the coast fever." He arrived at Monrovia after a passage of thirty days and had gained a little over a pound a day; and during his stay of two years was able to do efficient professional work in the colony. 

Soon after his return to America, June 1833, he was commissioned in the Maryland Colonization Society under the state patronage to found a new colony at Cape Palmas, having visited the cape the year previous and brought it to the notice of the public as a place favorable for such an enterprise.  In November 1833, he set sail from Baltimore in the Brig Ann and was successful in purchasing the territory desired and in planting the colony or state, of which he remained in charge as governor until June 1836.  He then chartered a vessel and traded on the coast for the next four years. In 1840, he accepted a general agency of the Maryland Colonization Society, having the main direction of ill affairs both in Africa and in this country, under a board of managers.  The duties of this position, together with that of commercial agent of the American Colonization Society, he continued to discharge for twenty years, and until the breaking out of the Civil War in 1861, since which Maryland emigration had ceased and Dr. Hall had rendered only occasional service to the American Colonization Society.

While in Africa, Dr. Hall built a ship for a merchant citizen of Liberia, which bore his name (James Hall), and on the stern was carved a crutch and a hook cane as his coat of arms. He devoted nearly forty years of his life to the cause of  African Colonization; not however as an advocate of any general deportation of the colored people of this country, but for the relief it afforded to the manumitted in the days of salvery and the colonization of Africa.

The following was taken directly out of a book entitled "Ancestry of a few of The Descendants of Edward Hall of Rehoboth, Mass., with intermarriages", author unknown:

"Dr. James Hall, who died at Claremont, Elkridge, on Saturday, in the 88th year of his age, was buried in his lot in Green Mount Cemetery in this city yesterday.  The funeral services were held in Grace Protestant Episcopal Church, and a large
assemblage of friends and neighbors witnessed the last sad rites. It was the end of one of the most remarkable men that ever left this state for a career on another continent. It was Doctor Hall who did such wonderful work in Liberia."
