Rumford Ministers. -- Rev. Samuel R. Hall.

SAMUEL READ HALL, the first Congregational minister in Rumsford, was born in Sutton, Mass., January 21, 1755. He was the son of Stephen and Mary (Taft) Read Hall, and a descendant of John Hall of Medford, Mass., in 1675, and in Cambridge in 1652, and who was born in England in 1627. When a young man Samuel R. Hall went to Croyden, Vt., and to Guildhall, where he resided several years. The people here were destitute of preaching, and Mr. Hall exhorted, conducted prayer meetings, and finally decided to go into the ministry. Just what time he arrived in Rumford does not appear, but probably about the year 1807. A vote was passed in town meeting in 1811, to extend a call to Rev. Samuel R. Hall to become the minister of the town at a salary of two hundred and fifty dollars, sixty to be paid in money and the balance in produce. Mr. Hall's wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Hezekiah Hall, and she died in Guildhall, Vt., June 14, 1806. Mr. Hall died in Rumford in 1814. Most of his family remained in Vermont. His son, Samuel Read Hall, Jr., came to Rumford and was teaching school in town in 1816. He became a famous teacher and introduced many improved methods of imparting instruction, one of which was the use of the black-board, which was used for the first time in an American school, in a district school in Rumford taught by Mr. Hall in 1816. The fact is stated in the Hall genealogy, and the writer of this volume also heard it from the lips of Abel Wheeler of Rumford, who was a teacher in the town contemporaneous with Mr. Hall. The children of Rev. Samuel R. Hall were:

I.     Hannah, b. Dec. 7, 1776, m. Micah Amy.
II.    Betsey, b. Sept. 10, 1778, m. John Whitten.
III.   Lucy, b. March 12, 1780, m. Caleb Amy.
IV.   Samuel, b. April 23, 1782, m. Hannah Swinnerton.
V.    Read, b. Dec. 12, 1784, d. Dec. 8, 1787.
VI.   Chloe, b. May 11, 1786, m. Asa Swinnerton.
VII.  Hezekiah, b. March 16, 1787, m. Mary Hawes.
VIII. Sarah, b. Feb. 24,1789, drowned by falling into a spring while in a fit, July 15, 1853.
IX.   Josiah Brewer, b. June 14, 1790, m. Roxanna Basset.
X.    Theodocia, b. Oct. 9, 1793, d. Feb. 13, 1795.
XI.   Samuel Read, b. Oct. 27, 1795, m. Mary Bascomb.

(Family 217). SAMUEL READ HALL⁴, pedigree as above; b. in Sutton, Jan. 27, 1755, bapt. March 23, 1755; d. in Rumford, Me., 1814; m., in Croyden, N. H., Nov. 1775, Elizabeth, dau. of Hezekiah and Elizabeth or Deborah (Taft) Hall, b. Dec. 1754; d. in Guildhall, Vt., June 14, 1806. She was living with her uncle Lieut. Edward Hall of Croydon, when she married (See Halls of Rehobath).

Samuel R. Hall, probably came to Croyden, to see about some land owned by his father, and settled there as a farmer. He held the offices of constable, collector, tithingman, moderator, etc., and was a soldier from that town in the revolutionary war. He had surveyed in 1794, some of the eastern townships of Canada, and purched the half of one of them, of fraudulent parties, and on Jan. 20, 1796, he started from Croydon, with his family, to go to Canada and take possession of his purchase, and proceeded as far as Guildhall, Vt., before he knew of the fraud. The swindlers had been paid, and Mr. Hall found himself in Guildhall (which was nearly a wilderness at that time), without the means to make any more purchases. He lived in Guildhall several years, and was a great spiritual blessing to the town; the people were destitute of the preached gospel, and Mr. Hall gathered them together and conducted prayer meetings, with exhortations, and his gifts and usefulness, appeared to justify his becoming a preacher of the gospel, and he was accordinhly ordained as a Congregational minister. In 1807, he removed to Rumford, Me., where he was the means of gathering a church, and became its pastor, and continued such until his death. Mrs. Hall was a feeble woman in the later years of her life. Children were:

1.  Hannah, b. Dec. 7, 1776; m. Micah Amy; resided in Guildhall, until her death, and then he went west; children were, i. Clarissa, d. aged about two years; ii. A dau. d. young.

2.  Betsey, b. Sept. 10, 1778 (Family 244).

3.  Lucy, b. March 12, 1780 (Family 245).

4.  Samuel, b. April 23, 1782 (Family 246)

5.  Read, b. Dec. 12, 1784; d. Dec. 8, 1787.

6.  Chloe, b. May 11, 1786 (Family 247).

7.  Hezekiah, b. March 16, 1787 (Family 248).

8.  Sarah, b. Feb. 24, 1789; d. by falling into a spring of water, July 14, 1853; she was unmarried.

9.  Josiah Brewer, b. June 14, 1790 (Family 249).

10. Theodocia, b. Oct. 8, 1793; d. Feb 13, 1795.

11. Read, b. Oct. 27, 1795, his name was changed, after his brother Samule's death, to Samuel Read (Family 250).
