Individual Details

Peletiah Hall & Sarah Paul were married by the Rev. Mr. Jonathan Bowman.

I've often wondered what prompted the move to the Vermont/New Hampshire area. Were there other Halls to whom Peletiah was kin. The first deed book of Cheshire Co, NH, indicated other Halls were in the area:
Deed Book 1, 1770-1780 LDS Microfilm #0015624
14 Jan 1769

The following deed found on the same microfilm, names two apparent sons and indicates the land belonging to Peletiah, the elder.

Halls of New England. Genealogical & Biographical, by Rev. David B. Hall, Albany NY, 1883, p.699-700, states that Jonathan Hall came to Walpole soon after 1760 and then speculates that Peletiah may have been his brother.

PELETIAH HALL located in Walpole NH soon after 1760 and probably with his brother, JOHN HALL, who located there at the same time MRS. PHILIPPI HALL, who was born 1684 died in Walpole in 1774 and presumed to be the mother of these brothers. Peletiah Hall had for a second wife, LYDIA HUNT, whom he married in 1778. He died 11 Jan. 1784 at 82 years. They had two sons—Peletiah and Roland.
ROLAND HALL, son of Peletiah, married in 1777 to ELIZABETH WILLARD. He settled in Cooperstown NY and had sons: ROLAND, PELETIAH, WILLARD, SYLVANUS and SAMUEL and three or four daughters.
CAPTAIN ROLAND HALL, son of ROLAND, was born 1783 and married LYDIA HARRIS, daughter of CAPTAIN WILLIAM HARRIS, who was prominent in the War of 1812. Captain Hall accompanied his brother, PELETIAH HALL to Champion, Jefferson Co NY in a very early day—before 1808 where both bought land and became well to do.
Children of Lydia Harris and Captain Roland Hall: (all born in Champion)

Note: There appear to be some errors - Certainly Roland who married in 1777 could not have been a son of Lydia since Pelatiah didn't marry her until 1778.
