    Notes:

    Name:
    G. Stanley Hall, a great-grandson of Reuben, included in his autobiography some of the family folklore attached to Reuben that he heard as a child. Family tradition held that reuben was for many years a sailor in eastern Massachusetts and had even been a captain aboard one of the ships in Boston Harbor when the tea was thrown overboard in 1773. While he was evidently not a captain, the history of Ashfield does say, "Reuben was an officer on board the ship from which the tea was thrown overboard in Boston Harbor." However, his name does not appear on a list of participants. He later took up life and farming in Hampshire County although he knew very little about the process of farming. Stanley says his great-grandfather planted some beans and when they came up did not realize it was his cop and plowed them under.

    Reuben was a revolutionary War patriot, serving as a private in Captain Timothy Childs's company, Colonel David Leonard's regiment on 24 February 1777 for one month and seventeen days for service at Ticonderoga.

    "David Hall, half-brother to Samuel, and his son reuben, came first to Goshen, then to Ashfield just before 1780." The deed indexes for Hampshire and Franklin Counties for Reuben Hall do not show any deeds to or from Reuben Hall. Unless they neglected to record a purchase, presumably the halls received a grant from the town, as they certainly did own land. At the Massachusetts and Maine 1798 Direct Tax, Reuben was listed with a house and 80 perches of land in one place and with 80 acres in another, the latter time listed just above David Hll, who had only 20 acres.

    In 1800 in Ashfield, Reuben and a female were age 45 or over with two males under 10, a male and a female 10-15, and a male and two females 16-25. In 1810 there, he and a female were 45 or over with a male 16-26. In 1820 he must have been counted in another household.

    Reuben made his will on 23 January 1821, and it was proved 27 August 1821.

    Reuben Hall was born 5 April 1747 or 16 April 1747 according to New Style.

    Reuben Hall and Sarah Howes, both of "Yearmouth," on 10 June 1774 entered their intentions to marry, and their marriage was solemnized by Rv. Nathan tone on 1 August 1775.

    Reuben married Sarah HOWES on 01 Aug 1775 in Dennis, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts. Sarah was born on 18 Oct 1749 in Yarmouth, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts; died on 10 Nov 1817 in Dennis, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts; was buried in Hill Cemetery, Ashfield, Franklin Co., Massachusetts.
