Vermont attorney and militia officer. The oldest child of Governor and Congressman Hiland Hall, he was named for Bennington attorney Marshall Carter, under whom Hiland Hall studied law. Usually called M. Carter Hall, he practiced law in Bennington, and from 1844 to 1846 served on the military staff of Governor William Slade with the rank of Colonel.
For most of the last half of his life he had been sorely afflicted with rheumatism, which had so affected and distorted his limbs as to render him almost entirely helpless, and his sufferings were great. Previous to this affliction he was an active business man of extensive acquaintance and influence in the town, county and State.
He was named for Marshall Carter, senior law partner of his father and a member of his father's family at the time of Marshall Carter's death at the age of 31.
Hall married Sophia Baker Deming on April 20, 1844. Their children included Frances Helen Hall (b. December 20, 1844), Samuel Baker Hall (b. February 17, 1846), and Sophia Deming Hall (b. December 13, 1847).
