John Hall (John Booth Hall according to source 421) was born around 1778, in Ashton-under-Lyne to Abraham Hall and Sarah Booth. In 1797 he married Martha Smith in Ashton-under-Lyne. They had 7 children all born in Ashton-under-Lyne. John was a farmer at Smallshaw.Occupation from David Hall's death cert. "The ancestors of John Hall can be traced back to the 1500's," and some of the towns they lived and worked in were Mossley, Ashton under Lyne, Saddleworth and Botany.".The family possibly moved to Hurst from Smallshaw as son David was living at Hurst in the 1820's (at the birth of his children).

Pigot's Directory 1828-29 has a John Hall as a brickmaker (fire and tile) Dukinfield. Most farmers in the early 1800s were weaving at home what they raised on their small holdings. Home based industry gradually gave way to the more efficient mills as the industrial revolution progressed. The Slater and Mayall families changed from farmers to weavers and this is possibly what happened to the Halls too.

As this is the earliest of the Halls on who we have much reliable information, and noting his uncertain parentage, it will be worth reading Grant Franklyn-Smith's PDF report from 2018, "Descendants of John Hall"2,5,6,7.
