Based upon his research, by age 11, Prince Hall was enslaved by Boston tanner William Hall. By 1770, Prince Hall was a free, literate black man living in Boston.[7] A manumission certificate for Prince Hall, dated one month after the Boston Massacre in April 1770, stated he was "no longer Reckoned a slave, but always accounted as a free man".[1]
