I did some more research on the 7th Connecticut, trying to find information on Amos Hall or his father.
From Valley Forge Legacy: The Muster Roll Project.
The 7th Connecticut Regiment was organized January 1777 at New Medford, Connecticut, with men coming from Litchfield, Fairfield, New Haven and New London counties.
The regiment entered Valley Forge with 536 men, 358 fit for duty.
The 7th left Valley Forge with the 1st Connecticut Regiment and had 869 men, 551 fit for duty. (I am assuming this meant that it was put in with the 1st Connecticut.
Before Valley Forge, the 7th Connecticut had participated in the defense of Philadelphia.
The 7th was commanded by Col. Heman Swift. Lt.Col. was Josiah Starr and major was John Sedwick.
There were eight companies and one was commanded by Captain Stephen Hall.
