The boyhood and youth of Robert H. Hall were passed in the towns of Thompson and Jackson, and his education was acquired in the district schools.
He aided his father in the work of the farm until he felt that his country needed his services in her efforts to suppress the rebellion, when he enlisted, October 3, 1801, in Company G, Soth N. Y. V. I., at Windsor, and was sworn into the United States service at Elmira, N. Y. The regiment was as- signed to the gth Army Corps, under command of Gen. Burnside, and after twenty-six days spent on transports reached Cape Hatteras. From there they went to Roanoke Island ; were in the battle of Cam- den, N. C., in April, 1862; South Mountain, Sep- tember 14; Fredericksburg, in December, 1862, and succeeded in driving the Rebels out of Frederick City, MId., September 15, 1862. On the 17th of September they captured two batteries, but were forced to retreat with a heavy loss. History shows that the 89th N. Y. crossed the river at Fredericks- burg and captured 160 prisoners. There Mr. Hall was wounded, but he remained with his regiment and engaged next day in battle, continuing with the command until after Gen. Burnside's "stick in the mud" campaign. Under Gen. Gilmore the regi- ment was then sent to Charleston, where they re- mained six months. They took part in the battle of Fort Gregg, and drove the enemy from Morris Island. From Charleston they went to Suffolk, Va., where they remained until the battle of the fort on the Nanam river, in April, . 1863, where they captured six pieces of artillery and 200 men. With the 114th N. Y. V. I. and the 13th Ind. V. I., they led the advance charge across the river, and raised the siege of Suffolk, May 3, 1863, and for their bravery in that engagement were granted a ninety-days furlough, which they failed to get, how- ever, on account of Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania at Gettysburg. In July they were ordered to the Peninsula under Gen. Speers, and entered Rich- mond at Hanover Station. After taking the outer works they marched to Fortress Monroe, the whole length of the peninsula, and camped at Norfolk. They joined Gen. Grant's army at Cold Harbor, in June, 1864, and after the engagement at that place were transported to the James river. They led the advance on Petersburg, and in the skirmish line commeneed fighting June 15, 1864, being under fire until the 18th. Mr. Hall was detailed as sergeant. and had command of Company C for a time. While leading the charge he was seriously wounded in the right hip, and lay on the fiekl of battle for three days. He was then taken to Hampton hospital, near Fortress Monroe, remaining there until July. when he was sent to Fort Schuyler, N. Y. He was finally discharged, October 19, 1864, at Rochester, N. Y., and returned to his home in Susquehanna county.
In 1868 Mr. Hall was united in marriage with Miss Helen Van Nostrani, of Susquehanna. adaugliter of James and Diantha Van Nostram, representatives of old and prominent people of Dutchess county, N.
