There were two Reverend Nathaniel Halls living in Colonial Virginia during the 1700's and several other Nathaniel Halls who were not men of the cloth. Our Reverend Nathaniel Hall was born in Gloucester County in 1738 and died in Patrick County, Virginia. The other Reverend Nathaniel Hall was born about 1740 in Halifax County, Virginia and moved to Pendleton District, now Anderson County, South Carolina about 1787.

Nathaniel Hall bought 250 acres of land on Avints Creek, in Brunswick County, Virginia on September 25, 1763. Two years late, January 26, 1767, he conveyed all slaves, stock and crops on the property to his mother, Sarah Hall. He sold two acres of land to Silas Brooks April 27, 1767 and Lord John Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, confirmed a land patent of 277 acres on Marrowbone Creek in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on July 5, 1774. Later that same year, Nathan received 250 pounds of tobacco for his reader services as Clerk of Horsepasture Chapel.
In August of 1777, Nathan bought 400 acres of land on Irwins Creek in Henry County, Virginia and an additional tract of 234 acres that adjoined this property in May, 1784.
Nathaniel served in the Revolutionary War. He swore allegiance to the United States of America in Henry County, Virginia in 1781. He marched with his son, Randolph, and others to Yorktown to fight with General George Washington and were present at the surrender of the British General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia October 19, 1781, which is just across the James River from Gloucester County, where Nathan Hall was born.
In 1782, Nathan was paid two pounds and 5 pence for providing 250 pounds of beef to the Commissary of Provisions. He sold the remainder of his land on Avints Creek in Brunswick County to Sylvanus Shelton, but remained an active trader.
Benjamin Harrison, Governor of Virginia, conferred 460 acres of land on the Smith River in Henry County on Nathan Hall January 23, 1784. Nathan purchased two more tracts of land on Smith River ni 1784 and 1786 from James Poteet.
Nathan Hall was a Baptist minister in Montgomery, Franklin and Patrick Counties, Virginia from about 1785 through 1810. Source: RootsWeb Message Boards/Hall Post by William Simpson, Jr., dated July 31, 2001 at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=surnames.hall&...
Nathaniel's mother, Sarah Hall, mentioned only her first four male grand children, from which some surmise that Nathan had no other children by Anne Rowe and that there were no children from his second marriage as late as March of 1790.
Nathan's will reads, in part, "I, Nathan Hall of Patrick County, do make this my last will and testament. Item. It is my desire that John Hall should have part of the land I live on. Item. It is my desire the the balance of my land should be sold and the money equally divided among my sons and daughters. Item. It is my desire that all of my negroes, Daniel, Charles, Ezebel, Mal, Eady, Jim Price, Sindy, Lucy, and Ruth, be sold for the best price that can be got and equally divided amongst all my sons and daughters, that is to say, John, Randel, Thomas, Jonathan, Molly, Sally, Nancy, Jeremiah, and Frankey. It is also my desire that if any of my children be dead before the assignment of this will their heirs should have 50 cents apiece." He made a mark on his will, but since he could read and write, he was apparently too ill to sign his name. The value of his estate amounted to $2,233.34.
