Mr. Thomas Hall

Mr. Thomas Hall , sometime of Boughtrig Farm, Awamoko, was born at Burnhead, Roxburghshire, Scotland, where his father was a farm manager. He came to Port Chalmers in 1861 by the ship “Pladda,” and was employed for some time by the late Mr. Fenwick, at Ben Lomond, and was then a shepherd under Mr. Falloon. Mr. Hall was afterwards for some years overseer on the Maerewhenua estate under Messrs Borton and McMaster, and ultimately took up Boughtrig Farm at Awamoko, which he farmed till his death in March, 1886. Mr. Hall married a daughter of the late Mr. Alexander Kerss, of Berwickshire, Scotland, and left two daughters and one son. Mrs Hall still (1904) survives her husband.
