BA-J/ILL Moses Hall W. 23193
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Moses Hall, who died May 11, 1827, and whose widow was Lucy Hall.
The data which follow are found in pension claim, W. 23193, based upon service of Moses Hall in the Revolutionary War.
Moses Hall, while a resident of Wallingford, New Haven County, Connecticut, served as a private and was in the battle of White Plains, and served also as a private in Captain Leavenworth's Connecticut company. He enlisted March 1, 1778, served as a private in Captain David Starr's company, Colonel Return J. Meigs' Connecticut regiment, was transferred and served in Colonel Zebulon Butler's Connecticut regiment and was discharged June 7, 1783 from Colonel Zebulon Butler's 1 st Connecticut regiment. He received the badge of merit for six years' faithful service.
Moses Hall was allowed pension on his application executed April 6, 1818, at which time he resided in Providence, Saratoga County, New York; he had moved there shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War. In 1818, the soldier was sixty-four years of age; the date and place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
Moses Hall died May 11, 1827 in Providence, Saratoga County, New York.
He married December 25, 1783, in Wallingford, Connecticut, Lucy Hart; they were married by Rev. Dana, Minister of the "Congregational

or Presbyterian " Church of Wallingford.
Lucy Hall, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed August 20, 1838, at which time she resided in Providence, Saratoga County, New York. She was then aged seventy-four years; the date and place of her birth and the names of her parents are not shown.
In August 1838, the soldier's daughter, Charlotte Annable, wife of Ephraim Annable, resided in Providence, New York; she stated then that she was "aged fifty years on the twenty-fifth of June last". At that time, Ruth Hall, wife of the soldier's son, Nathaniel Hall, resided in Providence also; she was then thirty-nine years of age. There are no further data in regard to the above noted children of Moses Hall.
In 1838, one Sanbun (Sanbron) Ford was a resident of Ballston Spa, Saratoga County, New York, aged then eighty-two years. He stated then that he lived in Wallingford, Connecticut, during the war, that he was present at the wedding of Moses Hall, and that Moses Hall "was my kinsman".
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of Lucy Hall, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:
Lucy Hall, widow of Moses Hall Certificate #1068 Issued July 22, 1843 Rate $80 per annum Commenced March 4, 1843 Act of March 3, 1843 New York Agency.

It is said that my Grand father Moses  David was a private in your Com of Inf for the Rev. War. Only known the name of the Captain was Baker. I understand that my mother Lucy Prouty  Church Robt's Mary (in her life time) gave a pension as her grand wife . She has been dead 5 years in July last. I understand Mary has also drawn some her share ! I desire to know what there is of this - If any the same much so when has money been drawn.

I am aware that I do not write very catchpolly but any information on my mother will be thankfully received

Your clerk must have answered some letter other than mine - as I did not speak of Lucy Hall - but Lucy Prouty - the daughter of Moses Hall & not Hall, a Revolutionary soldier
What I want is - Has Lucy Prouty or any one for her drawn any pension as heir at Law of Moses Hall
Was or is Moses Hall a pensioner - I may have been deceived about this. If so I am troubling you for nothing for what I can not be blamed
Yours very respectfully

BA-J/ILL Moses Hall W. 23193
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Moses Hall, 2nd, a pensioner of New York in 1818.
The data given herein were found in pension claim, W. 23193, based upon service of Moses Hall, the pensioner noted above.
Moses Hall, while a resident of Wallingford, New Haven County, Connecticut, served as a private and was in the battle of White Plains, and served also as private in Captain Leavenworth's Connecticut company; he enlisted March 1, 1778, served as private in Captain David Starr's company, Colonel Return J. Meigs' Connecticut regiment, was transferred and served in Colonel Zebulon Butler's Connecticut regiment and was discharged June 7, 1783, from Colonel Zebulon Butler's 1 st Connecticut regiment. He received the badge of merit for six years' faithful service.
Moses Hall was allowed pension on his application executed April 6, 1818, at which time he resided in Providence, Saratoga County, New York, where he had moved shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War. The soldier was aged sixty-four years in 1818; the date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
He died May 11, 1827 in Providence, Saratoga County, New York.
Moses Hall married December 25, 1783, in Wallingford, Connecticut, Lucy Hart; they were married by Rev. Dr. Dana, Minister of the "Congregational or Presbyterian" Church, of Wallingford.
Lucy Hall, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her

application executed August 20, 1838, at which time she resided in Providence, Saratoga County, New York. Lucy Hall was aged then seventy-four years; the date and place of her birth and the names of her parents were not given.
In August 1838, the soldier's daughter, Charlotte Annable, the wife of Ephraim Annable, was a resident of Providence, New York, and stated then that she was "aged fifty years on the twenty-fifth of June last". At that time, Ruth Hall, wife of the soldier's son, Nathaniel Hall, resided in Providence, also; she was then thirty-nine years of age. There are no further data regarding the above noted children of the soldier, or their families.
In 1838, one Sanbun (Sanbron) Ford was a resident of Ballston Spa, Saratoga County, New York, aged then eighty-two years; he stated that he lived in Wallingford, Connecticut, during the war, that he was present at the wedding of Moses Hall, and that Moses Hall "was my kingman".
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of Lucy Hall, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:

Gentlemen:-
I would like a copy of the record, especially any genealogical data (children of soldier) of Moses Hall, Revolutionary War.
"Connecticut Men in the Revolution," page 642, under the heading "Connecticut Pensioners, Act of 1818, Residing in New York," lists Moses Hall, 2nd, Private.
I think this is Moses Hall of Wallingford, Connecticut, who after the War (between 1790 and 1800) removed to Providence, Saratoga county, New York.
Very truly,
Jessie A. Thompson, (Mrs. H. A. Thompson, 3031 Collingwood Ave., Detroit, Michigan.)
