Patrick Hall was a weaver by trade. He was reputed to be over 100 yrs. old at the time of his death, yet the 1850 census shows his age as 77 yrs., and the 1860 census shows him to claim the age of 90. [He apparently aged rapidly toward the end!] Both his wives were reportedly born in Ireland. Wife #2, Margaret, had a brother, John Floyd, who was a merchant seaman out of Philadelphia, PA. Concerning the time of immigration, records do show that his eldest son, William, came to America in 1820. Since William was a child at that time, it seems that others of the family probably came as well. However, William's younger sister, Nancy, apparently remained in Ireland. There is some confusion over which children belonged to which wife; possibly David, George and Samuel were Margaret Floyd's children as they tend to be listed separately from the others in most records.

According to the records of Patrick's great, great grandson, John A. Hogg, Jr., the Halls were from northern Ireland. It appears that the Hall home in Ireland was in Donegal County. It is part of family legend that at the time that William invaded Ireland, the Irish Hall estate was taken over and occupied by an English Laird, who chose to keep the Hall family on the estate where they served as tutors for the Laird’s family, the Halls being educated.
