Ball—Hall—Will of Edward Ball 16 Aug. 1714 mentions daughters, Mary Hall and Elizabeth Hall. By reference to Austin p. 90, family of Henry Hall, it will be seen that Mary was the wife of Edward Hall of Westerly, while his brother John Hall of Westerly married Elizabeth Ball. John Hall has no children given in Austin, but his will at Charlestown made in 1754, proved in 1764, shows he had Peter, John, George, Nathan, Thomas, Mary married to Harvey, Jenny, Patience married Adams, Margaret, Freelove, Diana, Elizabeth, and Sarah married Tucker. The Westerly and Charlestown records also show that Edward Hall and Mary (Ball) left issue. It seems probable that William Hall of Portsmouth and Henry of Newport and Westerly (fathers of the above John and Edward respectively) were sons of John Hall of Portsmouth in 1641 who was of Newport in 1655.
