Notes:

A biography of the Rev. Thomas James Hall was included in "Sketches of the Ministers of the Gospel who have descended from James and Prudence Hall.  Contained in Centennial Addresses Bethany Church.  Tipton Record Office, Covington, TN, 1885.

"Rev. Thomas James Hall was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Sloan) Hall, and grandson of the first James Hall.  He was born in Bethany congregation.  His early education was obtained at the school of the Rev. James Hall, D.D., at the Crawford Place.  Later he became assistant in the school and continued it for many years.  Among his pupils were the Rev. Samuel Williamson, D.D., late president of Davidson College; Rev. Robert J. Hall, of Ohio; and the Rev. William A. Hall, of Tennessee.  He became a candidate for the ministry in 1793, was licensed by Concord Presbytery as a missionary to the Carolinas and Georgia in 1802, and was ordained to the full work of the ministry in 1807.  After his ordination he taught school for a while at  Liberty Hill and Concord.  So great was his eloquence that immense crowds were attracted by his preaching.  In 1812 he was dismissed by the Presbytery of West Tennessee.  His work was in Bedford County of that State, where he had as a charge Rock Creek and another church.  He died at Bowling Green, KY, where he had gone to reside with a daughter, after ceasing to preach."

He was pastor of Bethberei Church, near Lewisburg, Marshall County, Tn, for thirty-four years, seven months, and sixteen days.

He had nine children.

Thomas Hall, eldest son of James Hall, Sr. and Prudence Roddy Hall, was born in Dauphin Co., PA in 1739.  In 1752 he came with his parents and their family to North Carolina, where they settled in what is now called Iredell County, in a neighborhood now called Bethany Township from the church of that name.  He married Elizabeth Sloan, daughter of Fergus Sloan (who was one of the first settlers to build a home on land that was afterwards made a part of the town of Statesville, NC), on 20 Feb 1764.

Thomas Hall settled on a farm about one-half mile west of the site of Bethany Church, later known as the Howard Farm, and built his house several yards west of Ebenezer Academy near a branch.  (The spring could still be located in 1938.)
