This is perfect, let us take a look at these sources.
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~paxson/southern/hall.html writes "Since his surviving children’s birth dates begin in 1663, the year he claimed head rights for himself and his wife Elizabeth (__), it seems likely that he either married Elizabeth in about 1662, or earlier children had already died."
Elizabeth's maiden name is purposefully left empty.
History of Cecil County, Maryland: And the Early Settlements... by George Johnston and http://www.pa-roots.org/data/read.php?1360,571441 have the same text, but they write that: "The early history of this family, like that of many others, is involved in obscurity. There is reason, however, to believe that Richard Hall, from whom the distinguished family of that name in this county have descended, patented a large tract of land called "Mount Welcome," on the east side of the Susquehanna River, about a mile above the mouth of the Octoraro, in 1640. He is believed to have been a son of Bishop Joseph Hall, of England. The earliest authentic record extant shows that Elisha Hall and Sarah Winfell (or Wingfield) were married September 16th, 1688... But little is known of the history of Richard Hall and Elizabeth (Wingfield) Hall, except that they were the parents of one son, Elisha, who was born in 1663."
Note that the "earliest authentic extant record" that this researcher has access to is the 1688 marriage of Thomas and Elizabeth's son, Elisha to a Sarah Wingfield. This implies that the author has no earlier records for the family. The author also writes that it is believed that Thomas Hall is the son of Bishop Joseph Hall, but does not provide any evidence for this. The same goes for Elizabeth's maiden name, he says it is Wingfield but does not provide any sources for this either. The author seems to have very few, or perhaps even none, for Richard and Elizabeth (at least he does not have access to Richard's will, the text of which can be found here: https://books.google.com/books?id=fSgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA292&lpg...
Lastly, he claims that Richard and Elizabeth's daughter-in-law, Sarah Winfell (or Wingfield) "is believed to have been a granddaughter or niece of the Mr. Wingfield who was President of the Council of Virginia." This is incorrect. Sarah Wingfield was a widow when she married Elisha and the Wingfield name came from her prior husband, Jonas Wingfield. See https://books.google.com/books?id=fSgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA292&lpg... These inaccuracies, in conjunction with the authors lack of sources, renders much of his narrative suspect for me. Perhaps Elizabeth's maiden name is just a confusion with her daughter-in-law's name?
The Maryland Historical Magazine has an excellently sourced section on the Hall Family of Calvery County (pg. 291) and only refers to Richard Hall's wife as Elizabeth, without mention of a maiden name. https://books.google.com/books?id=fSgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA292&lpg...
