Biography

Deborah Hall was born on 15 February 1708 in Easton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. Seth Leonard and she were married on 18 April 1728 in Easton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.1,2 She died before March 1761 in Lyme, New London County, Connecticut.
She's mentioned in the will of Hannah Dean of Taunton, dau. of Thomas Dean of Taunton dtd. June 1, 1726, prob. February 6, 1749. "To Keziah Hall, Isaac Hall, Lydia Hall, Deborah Hall, George Hall, Thomas Hall, Abiel Hall, Nathan Hall, and Abijah Hall, children of George Hall..."

Ward Leonard found that Seth's probate record is in a New London County court file and that Deborah was executor.

"George Hall and His Descendants, 1603-1669" by R. L. Hall lists "Deborah (Lathrop), b.15 Feb 1707/8 in Taunton, housewife; married Seth Leonard (Allred) 18 April 1728 in Easton." Are names in parentheses sources? Or what? Harriott Leonard Standish mentioned that the Thacher papers had the marriage date as April 18, 1712, in Easton, but Deborah have been only 4 years old.

Deborah Hall sold her Bristol Co. property, recorded 1735, 1741, 1753, 1765, and 1785, according to Ward Leonard. Was the move to Lyme triggered by Deborah's brothers starting an iron foundry there? George Hall purchased land for an ironworks in 1737, partnering with Capt. Samuel Southworth from Bristol, RI. The ironworks was in operation from 1741 to 1793. George's brother Isaac was also involved in the ironworks. George Hall advertised his iron works in Lyme for sale in the 20 Jul 1752 Boston Post-Boy newspaper.

Youngest (?) son Silas selected Isaac Hall of Lyme to be his guardian 9 March 1761, according to New London Probate District records for Lyme, 17 61, no. 3173. Does this mean that Deborah passed away shortly before this date, leaving Silas an orphan? Deborah Hall had person sources.3
