[Byrne.FTW]
John Hall took the oath of fidelity in Middlesex Co., 1652, and in the same year the town of Cambridge apportioned to him 20 acres of church land in Billerica. He resided in Concord, Mass., several years previous to 1667 when he returned to Cambridge, and in 1675 removed to Medford, about eight miles from Boston, where he purchased a farm of Caleb Hobert, June 27, 1675, and gave a mortgage on it the same day for รบ260, and which he paid May 2, 1681.
The records of Medford begin in 1674, but very little is written before 1677, when John Hall was chosen constable and selectman, which at that time were the most important offices of the town.
Dea. Thomas Willis and John Hall were chosen selectmen, March 12, 1690. In 1699 John Hall made his will, dividing his large landed estate between hia sons, who were to pay his daughter's portions in money, and his widow Elizabeth had rights reserved for her during her life, and had the use of a portion of the house and cellar; Stephen and Thomas had the house and land near it; the house was situated a few rods east of the railroad depot in West Medford, and was demolished many years ago, and the old cellar filled up in 1876; Daniel A. Gleason who married a descendant of John Hall, owns a house and lot in Medford near where the old house stood.
In the old burying ground in Medford, is a thick slate gravestone about as wide as it is high, and arched at the top, in the arch is a death's head, under which stands an hour glass, flanked by two winged figures; at one of the upper corners is written "Memento Mori," at the other "Fugit hora," and on the body of the stone is engraved as follows:
"Here lies the body of JOHN HALL, aged 74 years,
Died the 18th of Oct., 1701.
The memory of the Just is blessed."
By the side of this stone is another on which is engraved "In memory of Elizabeth, wife of John Hall, who died Feb. 4, 1713, in the 74th year of her age."
And on the other side of the first mentioned stone is a smaller one "In memory of William Hall aged 19 years who died Jan. 4, 1683."John married GREEN, Elizabeth on 2 Apr 1656 in Middlesex County. Elizabeth (daughter of GREEN, Percival and ELLEN) was born in 1637 in Cambridge, MA; died on 4 Feb 1712/13 in Medford, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
