Hi Does anyone know who the Micajah Compton is in Hall County, GA? 1840 CENSUS - GEORGIA [Name] [GA County] [Census Page #] [Township] Compton, John Hall county page 171 413th District Compton, Joseph Hall county page 171 413th District Compton, Micajah Hall county page 171 413th District Compton, Nathan Hall county page 171 413th District Compton, W.E. Hall county page 171 413th District It seems strange that there would be so many Comptons in 1 district. I documented what I have on them on; http://homepages.msn.com/HobbyCt/desotojohn/sld046.htm The distance from Laurens, SC to Gaines, Hall Co., GA is 144 miles, due west.
