From the Hall Genealogy by David Brainerd Hall, 1883
Nathaniel Hall was a soldier in the Revolution, was present at the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga. He was captain of militia. The genealogy states that after he was engaged to marry, Mehitable's grandfather Storrs gave him a tract of land in Lebanon, NH then a wilderness, if he would settle on it. "which he was reluctant to do on account of the hardships to which it would subject his wife." But she "settled the business by telling him if he did not go, she would not marry him."
After he had cleared it up, he sold it, and bought another farm of 300 acres further back from the river.

From SAR application of Nathaniel Parker Hall # 11996, states "Nathaniel Hall served as a Sergeant in Col. Jonathan Chase's Regiment of New Hampshire Militia, May 1777; and in September 1777 was a Lieutenant in the same Regiment which marched from Cornish New Hampshire and joined the Continental Army under General Gates at Saratoga." - "References - State Papers of New Hampshire - Hammon - Vol 15 - The Revolution Vol 2 pps 13 and 332."

Nathaniel Hall was a deputy sheriff in Lebanon, Grafton, NH in 1783
