Jean or Jane Woolen had lived with William Wilkes in Boston, and had probably come over with him, as he paid her fare and gave her three pounds a year for her service in his family for five years, and also promised her 10 pounds as a gift when she should marry; but this he did not do, and Mr. Hall obtained it from his estate by litigation, an account of which is found in the records of New Haven, in which she is called good wife Hall. Mr. Wilkes was in Boston in 1633, and removed with his family to New Haven with the first settlers in 1639. Few families have been more respectable than the descendants of John and Jean (Woolen) Hall. Her connections in England have a coat of arms.
