Rita, >I need help. Does anyone have any info. at all on the following people? >I only have reference to them during 1770 - 1777. > GERSHOM HALL Wish you had more info on Gershom like possible DOB, who he married, etc... Looking at the published VRs of Mansfield: Dimock, Susan W., Births, Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths from the Records of the Town and Churches in Mansfield, Connecticut 1703-1850 (NEHGS Photoduplication, 1997; New York: The Baker & Taylor Co., 1898). The Town Records - Births - Hall section <there are several HALL pages> I see at least 2 Gershoms and all could have been living in the 1770s: p. 91: "Children of Isaac and Sarah Hall. Easter, b. February 26, 1700 A daughter (stillborn) b. May 28, 1702 Sarah, b. July 28, 1703 Gershom, b. July 13, 1705 Martha, b. April 3, 1707 Lydia, b. October 5, 1708 Hannah, b. December 1, 1710 Rebeckah, b. January 26, 1714-15 Sibell, b. October 27, 1716 Jerushea, b. January 28, 1717-18" pp. 92-93 "Children of James and Mehitable Hall. Mary, b. September 27, 1717 James, b. April 20, 1720 Mehitebel, b. February 18, 1722 Elizabeth, b. April 18, 1723 Jane, b. March 5, 1725 William, b. July 12, 1728 Thomas, b. June 14, 1730 Ephraim, b. September 21, 1732 Gershom, b. February 28, 1734-5 Josiah, b. March 27, 1738" p. 95 "Children of Gershom and Mary (Hanks) Hall. Rachael, b. May 29, 1768 Gershom, b. September 6, 1770 Alice, b. August 29, 1773 Joel, b. October 12, 1777 Amos, b. July 28, 1780" Town Records - Marriages - Hall section: p. 246 "Gershom Hall and Mary, daughter of Benjamin Hanks, m. May 7, 1767" "Gershom Hall, Jr., and Dorcas Richardson, of Willington, m. May 1, 1791" No deaths of a Gershom HALL listed. I have a direct line from Isaac and Sarah (REED) HALL - the first HALL family above - through their daughter Esther who married Thomas BARROWs. I have Isaac (c1675-1738) md. 24 Apr 1700 Mansfield Sarah REED.
