Marlene, My earliest documented Hall ancestor is Drury R.Hall, who was born in SC in 1790, he, his wife and seven sons moved to Ga. in 1848. They moved from the Old Pendelton/Anderson area. I have been researching for almost 30 years, trying to establish who Drury's parents were, can't document. However, this is what I believe, I believe that he is descended from a George and Jane Hall, who arrived in Charleston, December, 1767. Jane was 27, George-26, John was 3 and Wm. was 7. They sailed from Ireland and received land grant in upper SC. I think that my Drury is the son of either that John or Wm. My Drury settled on two land lots in Murray County (Chatsworth), Ga. I believe those land lots were grants for Rev. War Service of a Wm. Hall, that land would have been in the former Cherokee County. My grandfather, Albert Lee Hall, told me many years ago that the Halls were from County Down (Belfast), now Northern Ireland. I have researched in N. Ireland, too. A historian there told me that the ship that those Halls arrived on in 1767 was one of three that were carrying people from Larne, Ballyamena and Portrush, they were Covenant Presbyterians, and were leaving because of religious persecution. I have hired professional genealogist in SC, who was no help at all. He just made scads of copies of records on a family that I had already told him that they were not my family. I tried the Ulster Historical Society in Belfast and they informed me that their early records had been destroyed and that my best bet would be point of entry into US. Again, I have no proof past Drury! I keep hoping that someday someone from SC will contact me regarding Drury. If I am ever able to document anything past Drury, I'll share it with you. Cherokee County, Ala. is in northern Alabama, not very far from Rome, Ga. Some of the SC Halls settled in Rome, too.
