Lewis Hall's Revolutionary War services, given by his son Seaborn, are found in Biographical Souvenir of the States of Georgia and Florida by F.A. Battey, 1889 reads: "My father was a farmer, took part in the Revolutionary War as a Lieutenant, was taken prisoner by the British soldiers and lay in jail for some time in Charleston, South Carolina. He was wounded in the thigh, though not very seriously, which made his capture easy. After his release he returned to the army, served until the war closed and received his discharge in the regular manner, serving nearly all the time of the war.”

Lewis Hall, Jr's service is further verified by a letter from Colonel Moultrie which says "Lieutenant Hall of North Carolina troops was wounded at siege of Charleston Sunday 30.” Vol XIV, age 345, North Carolina State & Colonial Records. Hall was commissioned a lieutenant in the Montgomery County militia "Silver Bluff Company" in the war of 1812. His service is found in "A History of Our Locale" by Lucile Hodges, page 24 under the list of the Muster Roll of a Detachment of Militia in the service of the state of Georgia, stationed at Fort Perry on the frontier of Tattnall County from January to March 1814; inclusive are named both James Kemp and Lewis Hall as Spy --“The two spies were mounted on their own horses agreeably to the orders of Major James Patton. The Muster Roll was certified to be correct by Edmond P. Wester, Lt.” Tattnall County records show him having a Tavern & Liquor license granted August 6, 1810. Both Lewis and his wife Nancy were members of the Methodist Church.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
