HALL, Samuel, printer, born in Medford, Massachusetts, 2 November, 1740; died in Boston, 30 October, 1807. He was apprenticed to his uncle, Daniel Fowle, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and subsequently went to Newport, Rhode Island, where in 1761 he formed a partnership with Ann, the widow of James Franklin, which continued until 1768. In that year he published the "Essex Gazette" in Salem. In 1775 he removed to Cambridge and issued the "New England Chronicle," and in the following year resided in Boston. He again published the "Salem Gazette" in 1781, and in 1785 the "Massachusetts Gazette." In 1789 he went to Boston and opened a book store, which he sold in 1805 to Lincoln and Edmunds. His journals were of much service to the patriot cause during the Revolution.
