Jeremiah HallBorn 23 May 1697 at Wrentham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States, died after 1759, age at least 62 years Capt. Jeremiah Hall, son of Benjamin and Sarah (Fisher) Hall, of Wrentham, Mass., was born in 1703; married Dorothy; was one of the original proprietors of Upper Ashuelot (now Keene, NH), and drew lot No. 2, on the east side, south end of Main street, where he built his house, and lived while here. He was one of the leaders in settling the township, and one of the first party, of eight persons, that came here in 1734 and began the settlement. He was also one of the party that came here in 1735, and was chosen moderator of the proprietors' meeting in the absence of Capt. Sady; and again in May, 1736, he was the leader of the party that came and spent the summer in building cabins and preparing for the next year's settlement. Again in the spring of 1737 he led the party that came for permanent settlement, was the "standing moderator" of the proprietors' meetings, and was paid for having represented the proprietors at the general court. His name is first on the list of members at the original organization of the church in 1738; and he had a son, Jeremiah, Jr. He was designated in the records of 1738 as "Capt.;" and he was also a physician--the first in town--and is called "Dr. Hall of Keene" in the account of the scouting party, as given in the Annals, that caused the capture of Pierre Raimbault, near Northfield, in 1747. In 1744, he buried a daughter here, Kezia, sixteen years old, and a son, Benjamin, three years old; and when the place was abandoned by the families in the spring of 1747, he and several others of the settlers joined the military company of Capt. Josiah Willard, which was stationed here that year and the next; was clerk of that company, and Jeremiah, Jr., was a member of the same company. He was one of the first of the settlers to return to the township; and was chosen agent in 1750 to procure a charter for the town from the legislature of New Hampshire. He buried his wife, Dorothy, here in January, 1753, and soon after- wards removed to Pembroke, Mass. We find him a practicing physician in that town in 1756; and he was appointed surgeon's mate, afterwards surgeon (chirurgeon), of Col. Joseph Thatcher's regiment in the expedition to Crown Point in 1757. In 1758, from March to November, he was surgeon of Col. Thomas Doty's regiment for the reduction of Canada ; and in 1759, March 31 to December 31, surgeon of Col. John Thomas's regiment at Halifax. - from A History of the Town of Keene 4.
