Edward Hall

All I know about Edward Hall and his wife Sarah is that they were in Lynn by July 3, 1646. Apparently they were married and immigrated not long before that, but it is not known in which order. I susect they were married just before they immigrated, but cannot be sure. Certainly they did not bring any children with them that survived. There is a listing for Edward as Freeman 1638 (below), and if it is the same person, then he was there earlier than 1646, and probably married in Lynn.

NEHGR Vol 3 Page 96 lists Edward Hall as a Freeman of the Plymouth Colony on May 2, 1638.
