Editing Lyman Hall (section)

== Death and legacy ==
In 1790, Hall moved to a plantation in [[Burke County, Georgia]], on the South Carolina border, where he died on October 19 at the age of 66. Hall's widow died in November 1793.

Lyman Hall is memorialized in Georgia where [[Hall County, Georgia]], bears his name; and in Connecticut, his native state, where the town of Wallingford honored him by naming a [[Lyman Hall High School|high school]] after its distinguished native son. Elementary schools in [[Liberty County, Georgia]], and in Hall County, Georgia, are also named for him. [[Signers Monument]], a granite obelisk in front of the courthouse in [[Augusta, Georgia]], memorializes Hall along with [[Button Gwinnett]] and [[George Walton]] as Georgians who signed the Declaration of Independence. His remains were re-interred there in 1848 after being exhumed from his original grave on his plantation in Burke County.
