(VII) Dwight, only son and youngest child of Joshua G. and Susan Elizabeth ( Bigelow ) Hall,
was born in Dover, April 13, 1871. He obtained his early education in the common schools, pre- pared for college at Phillips Andover Academy, from which he graduated in 1890. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1894, and a year later entered the. law school of the Boston University, graduating in 1897. Returning to Dover he asso- ciated with his father, and until the death of the latter practiced law in that city under the firm name of Hall & Hall. Since 1898 Mr. Hall has conducted the large private business of the former firm adding to his duties those of public office. A . Republican in politics, he is considered one of the capable rising young men of the New Hampshire bar. Since his admission he has been continuously in public life, and in positions of honor and responsibility has amply justified the trust and confidence reposed in him. He was city solicitor of Dover three years- 1899-1901-United States referee in bankruptcy- 1898-1904, resigning the latter position to accept that of county solicitor of Strafford county, and is now serving his second term in that office. Mr. Hall is a congregationalist, holding membership in the First Church of Dover.
Dwight Hall married, at Boston, Massachusetts, August 15, 1890, Frances Chasse Smith, daughter of James and Adelaide (Chasse) Smith, of Fred- erickton, New Brunswick.
( Second Family).
HALL This family inherits from many genera- tions of ancestry the Yankee propensity for business activity, and the sound mind, body and principles necessary to usefulness in the world. The name is one of the oldest in America, and was established at several points in New Eng- land at almost simultaneous dates. The origin of the name has been the subject of much speculation among its bearers, and three probable sources are mentioned. The most probable is the fact that bar- onial seats in England were almost always called Ilalls, with some title annexed. When men were obliged to take surnames, many took the name of their estates, and thus many names were made to end with Hall. The Norman or Anglo-Saxon usage, "de la Hall" ( translated, of the Hall), accounts for most of the occasions where this became a surname, without doubt. One authority attributes it to the Welsh word for salt, which would be attached to a worker in salt or sweller near a salt mine. Again. it is traced to the Norwegian word for hero, which is hallr, the last letter being silent and only indicative of the nominative case. As the Norwe- gians overran England at one time, many of their words found their way into the language. Hallett is a diminutive of Hall, and was probably given to a dwarfed or younger son, only the eldest son being entitled to the patronymic in earliest usage.
(1) Deacon Richard Hall, of Stratford-on-Avon, England, with his brother Jolin, came to America and settled at Dorchester, Massachusetts, bringing his family with him. As early as 1673 hie settled in Bradford, Massachusetts, where he was made freeman in 1676, and was chosen one of the two first deacons of the church at Bradford, November 2. 1682, and held the office until his death, March 9, 1730. The baptismal name of his wife was Martha, but her surname is not known. They had five children: Sarah, John, Richard, Joseph, and Joanna. (Mention of Richard and descendants re- ceive mention in this article).

Jonathan was born in what is now called Pleasant street. in Salem, near the former residence of Charles Kimball. However, his father did not reside there, because, on account of the Indians, the settlers were accustomed to come up from Haverhill or Bradford and till the farms that had been allotted them, and at nightfall would re- turn, driving their stock with them. Jonathan's mother sometimes accompanied the men, and it was on one of her visits that Jonathan was born, in a house between Policy Pond (so called) and the former residence of Charles Kimball. Jonathan Hall married August 10, 1797. Susanna Kimball, a sister of Joseph Kimball of Salem, New Hampshire. She was born October 26, 1779, and died April 22, 1850.

In business matters Mr. Ilall was alert and farsighted. always giving his personal atten- tion to every detail which required it, and slighting nothing. His success came of good management and unremitting attention . to business. He was a Jacksonian Democrat, and represented Salem in the legislature one term. He did much towards build- ing up Salem Depot, his employees adding materi- ally to the population of the village. Ilis home is still among the best and most beautiful in the town. He also had a handsome home in Boston from 1871, which is still occupied by the family. He was not a church member, but no worthy proposition for the advancement of the church or social interests was unaided if aid was asked of him. Mr. Hall, with his wife, travelled extensively throughout this coun- try, having spent several winters in Florida and the south, visiting the Island of Cuba shortly after the Spanish war. In 1881 he sold his extensive business to his sons, who conducted it till 1886 with the success which comes to those who have been born to an occupation to which they devote their fullest energies.

( Third Family.)
As the carly settlers of Massachusetts HALL Bay Colony were almost without excep- ton of English extraction, it is probable that the family now under consideration were Eng- lish and that the name is one of those assumed by some person from his place of residence-in this case the hall, or mansion, of a landholder or wealthy tradesman.
