Dear Sir:

You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 14838, that Ebenezer Hall, while residing in New Marlborough, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, enlisted in February 16, 1777, served as corporal and sergeant in Captain Noah Allen's company, Colonel Smith's and Lieutenant Colonel Ebenezer Sprout's Massachusetts regiments, and was discharged February 16, 1780.

He died June 28, 1818 in New Marlborough, Massachusetts, aged sixty-three years.  

The soldier married October 10, 1782, Mary, daughter of Joshua Chapin of New Marlborough, Massachusetts.  He was then of Washington, Connecticut, for a short time, then returned to New Marlborough, Massachusetts, where she resided when she was allowed pension on her application executed May 14, 1839, then aged seventy-nine years.  

Their son, Levi, was a resident of New Marlborough, Massachusetts in 1839.  

The papers in this pension claim contain no further data relative to the soldier's family.  

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Ebenezer Hall, the father of this soldier.

Very truly yours
E.W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 14838, it appears that Ebenezer Hall, while residing in New Marlborough, Berkshire Country, Massachusetts, enlisted February 16, 1777, served as corporal and sergeant in Captain Noah Allen's Company, Colonel Smith's and Lieutenant Colonel Ebenezer Sprout's Massachusetts Regiments, and was discharged February 16, 1780.  
He died June 28, 1818, in New Marlborough, Massachusetts, aged sixty-three years.
The solider married October 10, 1782, Mary, daughter of Joshua Chapin of New Marlborough, Massachusetts.  He was then of Washington, Connecticut.  After their marriage they lived in Washington, Connecticut, for a short time, then returned to New Marlborough, Massachusetts, where she resided when she was allowed pension on her application executed May 14, 1839, then aged seventy-nine years.  
Their son, Levi, was a resident of New Marlborough, Massachusetts, in 1839.  There are not further family data.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., July 22nd, 1891.

SIR;
In answer to  yours of the 22nd ult., enclosed herewith, I am only able to say that Ebenezer Hall and his son Isaac had during, and for some time after, the Revolutionary War, resided either in Terringham, New Marlborough or Sheffield, Berkshire Country, Mass.  Am unable to learn certainly which one of three places.  
With this information I trust, you can make a sufficiently thorough examination to settle the questions asked in mine of the 15th ult. to the Hon. J.J. Belden.

Sir;
At the suggestion of Cashier Barker, I take the liberty of writing you.  I wish to establish the fact that my Great-Grand-father, Ebenezer Hall (who was born in Enfield, Conn., 1730 I believe) was a soldier of the Revolution, by some certificate from the War Department at Washington.  I have sufficient family evidence that he was present at the battle of Bunker Hill, and also at the battle of Saratoga; and according to family tradition, he acted as aide for Gen'l. Gates, but these facts I wish to confirm by the records at Washington, and in talking with Mr. Barker, he said if I would write you and say what I wanted, you would try and obtain from the records just what his services were during the Revolution.  At the same time, learn if you can, if my Grandfather Gen'l.  Isaac Hall's name also appears on the records.  My Daughter wishes to join the "Daughters of the Revolution" and it is not enough that she says (as she has) her ancestors were in such and such a Battle.  She must furnish some outside confirmation of her statements, before Mrs. Pryor will enroll her name on the list.  Your kind attention to the above will greatly oblige,
Sincerely yours,
Johnson LeHall

My dear Sir,
I desire to make inquiry as to what your records
show in regard to the Revolutionary soldiers, Ebenezer Hall and his two sons Ebenezer Hall Jr. and Isaac Hall. All performed
military service in the Revolution, but they may have been
in Massachusetts State Militia.
Ebenezer Hall the father was born in Enfield Conn. Nov 9. 1730
and later removed to New Marlboro, Berkshire Co. Mass or in that vicinity where be resided during the Revolutionary period. Other names of places in their locality are Monterey, Sandisfield, Southfield, Mill River, Tyringham, Sheffield, and Great Barrington.
He was twice married, the last time in 1795 to Elizabeth
McGregory.
Wanted to know his miliary service and the date of
his death if known. Also if his second wife drew a pension
under her married name Elizabeth (McGregory) Hall.
I would like to know the miliary record of service of
the son Ebenezer Hall Jr. and birth and death dates if
know. I assume his birth to have been about 1758.
His wife's maiden name was Mary Chapin. I would 
like to know if she drew a pension under the name
Mary (Chapin) Hall, when it began, and when it terminated.
He resided in the same locality as his father noted above.
Page 28

                                                                 Page 2
I would like to know the miliary service of
Isaac Hall the other son. He was born in New Marlboro
Mass July 22 1764 and died in La Fayette NY in 1830..
He performed miliary service of some sort in the Revolution
from Massachusetts and his grave stone states he was a
Revolutionary soldier. He was commissioned Brigadier 
General in 1809 and also took part in the War of 1812.
In conclusion a family legend relates that Ebenezer
Hall Jr. received the sword of Burgoyne's army for
Gen. Gates at Saratoga when Burgoyne declined to
present it himself.
An early reply will be appreciated.
Very Respectfully.

Commissioner of Pensions
Washington D.C.

Dear Sir;
The pension records of Stephen Burnham and Ebenezer Hall, S.F. 31721 of [illegible], arrived today and I must beg pardon for my error in not stating that any Ebenezer Hall was pensioned from Mass. I am trying to get Ebenezer Sr. and Ebenezer Jr. straightened out and usually find the D.A.R. Lineage Books useful
...
Page 34

...
but in his case they have the birth and death dates and the service of the said Ebenezer all mixed.
I am going to be so bold as to ask for the military history and family details if any, of Ebenezer Hall Sr. (born about 1730) who was married first, Anne Peuse, and second, Rhoda Steiner, and also Ebenezer Hall Jr. who married Mary Chapin. This Ebenezer was[crossed out] enlisted from New Marlborough, Mass.
This information will be gratefully appreciated by these ladies, Mrs. Clara Foskell Brown, and Mrs. Emma Hall Bentley, and also myself.
The record of Ebenezer Hall of Durham may be of use later
...

He has a fine record and it is a pity some of his descendants do not make use of it.
