Secretary's Office, Feb. 12, 1834.
I hereby certify, that from an examination of the Books anda Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Enoch Hall as a private, is borne on the Rolls of Capt. Micah Hamlin's company where he is allowed for service and travel from June 6 to Dec. 1, 1776, five months and twenty six days.
Enoch Hall's name is also borne on a Roll of Capt. Abijal Bangs' Company. Col Dike regiment where he is allowed for service from Dec. 13 1776 to Feb 29 1777 two months and eighteen days.
Enoch Hall's name is also borne on a Roll of Capt Elisha Hedge's Company in Sept. 1777, where he is allowed one month and four days for service and travel - likewise on Capt. A's roll for Sept. 1779,  where he is allowed five days
Enoch Hall is also borne on a roll of Capt. Josep Griffith Company Col. Jacob's regiment where he is allowed for service from June 7, 1778 six months and twenty seven days.
Enoch Hall claims for further service under Capt Handen in 1776 - but the rolls he describes are not found in this office.

N. B. The services certified for Enoch Hall in the year 1778 were performed in part by Henry  Hall. Enoch enlisted in May of that year for eight months & when he had served four months, he was discharged & Henry took his place & served the remaining four months (see the annexed declaration of Enoch & the deposition of Henry thereon & also the third service in the declaration of Henry)
This certificate therefore so far as it regards the services in 1778 should operate in part for Henry Hall, as he undoubtedly performed a part of said service, although it appears by the certificate that Enoch's name was retained on the Roll.
