thanks Delores. I never thought of that. Still new to this research. I keep hearing references to "The Rich Settlement" Is this something that is documented somewhere? Is there historical books refererring to the Rich Settlement? My gut tells me I have a relation with the Hall-Rich line...I just can't figure it out.....probably never will.... But every little thing posted here sure helps.

RICH and is surrounded by RICH children and their families. Wasn't Daniel E. RICH the father of the Elizabeth that married John K. HALL?" When the 1860 Census was taken, Henry Houston Hall had already married Sarah Rich. They were living in household #241 in the Rich settlement. The husbandless Elizabeth was living in household #239. My assumption is that Elizabeth had gone to live near her ?brother? and perhaps was able to pick up some farm, household or seamstressing work in that area to help support herself and her children. I have not located Fereby/Phariaba Hall in the 1860 Census but in 1870 she is with her son John K. Hall near Summertown. Delores

Daniel Rich plus many of his children and grandchildren had homes for several miles around the Hall Cemetery area. It's just an easy reference for that section of Emanuel County. Delores
