From FindaGrave:

Pastor of ye Church in Cheshire, he was in the 81st year of his age and the 52d of his ministry.

Inscription at the bottom of his tombstone:
A friend of God, a guide of Christ
Does here repose their peaceful dust,
To rest in darkness in ye tomb
Till Gabriel's trumet wake the just.

The son of John & Mary (Lyman) Hall, he graduated Yale College in 1716 and was the pastor of the Congregational Church in Cheshire from 1723 through 1775. On January 12, 1725, Rev. Samuel Hall and Ann Law, daughter of Lt. Gov. Jonathan Law and his wife, Ann (Elliott) Law, were married by her father.
__________________________________

Rev. Samuel Hall married, January 12, 1725, Ann Law, eldest daughter of Governor Jonathan Law (Harvard, 1695) and Ann (Eliot) Law. Ann Eliot was the daughter of Rev. Joseph Eliot of Guilford, and granddaughter of Rev. John Eliot, the Apostle to the Indians, and also of Governor William Brenton of Rhode Island.

Their children were as follows:

The first is Clark, born ye 23rd of July, 1727, A month later, August 23d, is recorded the announcement of the death of their first-born.

The second birth is Jonathan (gift of God), born July 11, 1728; died July 12, 1728.

The third is Benoni (son of trouble), born November 4, 1729; died November 19, 1729.

The following year, September 11, 1730, was born the fourth child, Luce, that is "light," and such she proved to a desolate household. She lived to maturity and married Charles, a son of Wallingford's minister, the Rev. Samuel Whittelsey.

Their fifth child, called Samuel, came to them January 11, 1732, but died in May following from the dread scourge of smallpox.

On May 10, 1733, was born their sixth child, to whom was given the mother's name Ann. She lived to grow up and was married to Rev. Warham Williams (Yale 1745), Fellow and Secretary of Yale College, who preached at North Branford.

On May 31, 1734 a son was born to him, and the father's name was given for the third time (Samuel, "asked for of God"). Great pains were taken with this boy's education. He was carefully prepared for Yale, where he graduated in 1754, his name like his father's standing at the head of his class. But over-application undermined his health, and the year after graduation, at the age of 21, the pride and hope of his parents was cut down by death.

Mary, the eighth child, lived to justify her parents' hopes. She married Deacon Samuel Beach of Cheshire, by whom she had three children, Mary Ann, Luce, and Samuel Ufford Beach. The grandfather's will leaves to these children articles of silver plate and jewelry, besides "a great interest in lands." In the attainments of his son-in-law Mr. Hall took great pride. Mr. Beach was of Yale 1757, became an attorney of great prominence, was a delegate to the convention which framed the Constitution of the United States, and filled many other offices of public trust.
April 2, 1738, was born the ninth child, who was named "Brenton" after the mother's lineal ancestor, Governor William Brenton of Rhode Island, from whom considerable property descended to the family. This son lived to the advanced age of eighty-two years, became the executor of his father's estate, a founder of Meriden and its first representative.

The tenth child of Rev. Samuel and Ann (Law) Hall was Elisha, born March 10, 1740, and graduated at Yale 1764. He married Lois, widow of Jesse Street and daughter of Col. Thaddeus Cook.

The eleventh child, Sarah, born August 8, 1742, married Mr. Hills, who with his wife died previous to 1776, leaving an only child "Catee Hills," to whom the grandfather left by will all his household effects.

The twelfth child, Jonathan, born July 19, 1745, married and settled on the old homestead at Cheshire.

The thirteenth child, born December 17, 1748, "the child of his old age, last and best beloved," was called Abigail (the father's joy). Intimate in the family and for some years under the pastor's instruction, had been a bright and ambitious young man named John Foote, born in 1742, son of John and Abigail (Frisbie) Foote of North Branford. Mr. Foote prepared for Yale, where he graduated in 1765, and later studied theology under Rev. Samuel Hall. The acquaintance thus formed between John Foote and Abigail Hall soon ripened into love, and they were married November 19, 1767. The children by this marriage were unusually talented. The eldest daughter, Lucinda, passed the examination for Yale when twelve years old. John was admitted as freshman at nine years of age. Samuel A. graduated at Yale, received the degree of Doctor of Laws, was twice elected to Congress, and then made Governor of Connecticut.

NOTE. The funeral sermon of Eliakim Hall, Esq., is [in 1880] in possession of his descendant, Dr. Jared Linsly, of New York. The compiler of this genealogy found a copy in 1842, at the house of Isaac Hall in Wallingford, Vy., from which he took the following outline, Text, 21 : iv:

1.  There shall be no pain in heavan arising from uneasy reflections, as remores of conscience, or from any of those things which tease the mind in this life.

2.  No pain in heaven arising from fear of future evil.

3.  No pain from fear of losing happiness or pleasure in the presence of the Redeemer.

4/  No pain arising from bodily disorders.

5.  There will be no cause of pain, as there will be no sin, and no curse.

6.  There will be no need of pain to embitter sin, to mortify remaining corruption; to brighten graces; to convince of the vanity of earthly pleasures, and enjoyments; to remind of mortality; and to reconcile us to death.

REFLECTIONS

1.  Advantages of saints in heavan over those on earth.

2. This should make is patient under trials, while looking for and expecting the happy exchange.

3.  The importance of being of that happy number, contrast the two states beyond this world.

4.  The subject teaches to moderate our grief at the loss of Christian friends; and make it our concern to be ready to follow them.

Notes:

From FindaGrave

Declaration of Independence Signer. Born in Wallingford, Connecticut, he studied for the ministry at Yale College, and spent the first 32 years of his life in Connecticut. He became a minister, but when he quarreled with his congregation, he was fired.

He married Abigail Burr, but she died within a year.

He decided to become a doctor, and in keeping with the practice of the time, his medical training consisted of working as an apprentice for an established physician.

He married again, to Mary Osborne, and had one child, a son. Deciding that there was more opportunity for a doctor in the south, they moved first to South Carolina, and then to Georgia. Near Savannah, Dr. Hall set up his medical practice and operated a rice plantation. As this area tended to be more anti-English than most other Georgians, Hall became a leader of the area's patriots and would make speeches supporting the patriot cause. With the highest percentage of Loyalists, Georgia was the only colony that sent no delegates to the First Continental Congress and initially to the Second Continental Congress. The local area residents sent Dr. Hall to represent them at the Second Continental Congress, and for a while, Dr Hall was the only Georgian there. Finally, in July 1775, Georgia officially named a delegation of three to represent the colony, with Dr. Hall as one of the delegates. In 1778, the British invaded Georgia, and destroyed Hall's home and rice plantation. Hall and his family escaped back to Connecticut, where they remained safe until the end of the war. Upon the end of the war, he returned to Georgia, and in 1783, he was elected Governor. Governor Hall helped begin the University of Georgia, one of the nation's first state supported schools. In 1790, Dr. Hall invested into a new plantation near Augusta, and died there a few months later, at the age of 66.
