In this deed the five foot passageway between the houses, as it now exists, is described. Isaac was employed by his brother, Benjamin Hall, a distiller, until January 27, 1775, when he was taken into partnership, and we find a record of the purchase of a distillery from Jno.

Then he took up the battle for religious freedom by bringing an action in court against Sprague for assaulting, beating, wounding and imprisoning him, and detaining him in prison till he paid Sprague a fine of £ 3-1s. At a subsequent town meeting Andrew Hall was chosen constable, and the record says (page 328) payed for not serving five pounds, and Joseph Thompson was chosen and qualified.
