  	Most online trees show him as married to Elizabeth Thankful Doak. They also show their sons as born in 1769, 1771 and 1776. However, according to the email below, Elizabeth Thankful Doak's first husband did not die until 1793. This would seemingly rule out the wife of Nathaniel Hall as being Elizabeth Doak.
