Major General Amos Hall-- Part 2: Served in the American Revolution and Later Moved to Western New York

Major General Amos Hall was born at Guilford, Connecticut, on November 21, 1761.    He was a captain in the 7th Connecticut Infantry in the American Revolution.  (This would have made him quite a young officer.)  He was also a sergeant in that unit (perhaps he became an officer late in the war).

I was not able to find out anything about Amos Hall's service in the 7th Connecticut during the American Revolution.

After the war, he became a surveyor in western New York and a tavern-keeper in West Bloomfield, New York, a town he helped found in 1796.
