Vermont Supreme Court Justice. In 1776, he enlisted in the Navy for the American
Revolution, and received a lieutenant’s commission. He was leading a prize crew that was
sailing a captured ship to Boston when the British crew regained control and took him
prisoner, and he remained in Glasgow until he was exchanged in early 1777. While
returning to the United States, he was captured again, and held for 10 days until his
release. Hall studied law in Yarmouth, was admitted to the bar in 1782, and then
relocated to Vermont. He acted as Secretary for the proceedings of the Governor and
Council, and served in the Vermont House of Representatives in 1789, 1791, 1792, and
1808. In 1792 he was one of Vermont’s presidential electors, and voted for the ticket of
Washington and Adams. In 1799 he was appointed to the Council of Censors, which met
every seven years to review acts of the Governor and legislature and ensure their
constitutionality. Hall served as a Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court from 1794 to
1800. He developed a severe sinus infection while attending the 1808 session of the
Vermont House; he did not recover, and the complications proved fatal.
