He had at least three =probable= brothers John A., Houston, and Peter and at least one sister Julia. He married Elizabeth Elvira SHAW in Winston Co, MS. E. E.'s parents were James SHAW and Jane (BAGWELL?) who were also from SC. It has been reported that J. C.'s parents were killed by a tornado in Fayette Co, AL during the late 1820's or 1830's.

Hello. Does anyone have or have access to a book titled "Colonial Caoline , by T.E. Campbell ? There is possibly some info there on Halls (Abrahams family) and the George Moore family. These families were most often living near each other even after they migrated to NC , Rowan and Surry Co's. Thank you , Gerri Ann,,,,,,,, gal@naxs.net

Hey Cathy, Here's the way I look at it: If I didn't want to read the postings, I wouldn't have joined the list.

Hello, ISO any info regarding Richard Hall of Montgomery Co., VA. He resided near Draper's Meadow, along Meadow Creek (according to Deeds). He was visited by several prominent men - Sir Christopher Gist, Col. Wm. Preston, and possibly Geo. Washington during his trips of surveying and fort inspections. I need to know if there was a will for Richard. I believe he died late 1700's. I need something that names his children. Several of us have been trying to connect our Hall's of Catawba Valley - Botetourt Co. (now Roanoke Co.) to the Hall's of Rockbridge Co. As of now, we unfortunately, cannot make the connection. This Richard Hall was closer to the Catawba Valley and maybe our Hall's are connected to him. Any help in naming Richard's children would be most helpful! BTW, if any of you are using the Hall story in the book, "Places Near the Mountains," the story is basically bogus. Email me privately if you are using this story and would like corrections. Peace & Light, Cindy

I hope that no one will be annoyed with the amount of stuff I'm about to post. (I'm on two other lists who are currently having debates over this). Here is the reasoning: I have been searching for information on Newton John (or John Newton, depending on which record you're looking at)HALL who married Famy Ann GREEN. I have been able to find very little. We are specifically looking for a link to his father and further back if possible. This is the information we have: Newton John HALL born Sept 1847 in Tennessee 1900 Census puts him in Sunset, Montague county, TX This census also his father's place of birth as North Carolina and his mother from Tennessee. Finally in 1860 census for TN I came upon some possibilities. I am trying to eliminate or confirm one of these as being his family. Hence the reason for the posting. Newton would have been between 12 -15 years during this census. If anyone can tell me anything about the following families, it would help me to either confirm or eliminate the ties, I hope. 1. Hall, John (37); Mary (34) wife; John (14); Charles (11), William H. (8), James R. (3) Lewis (1/12), Franklin County, TN 2. Hall, Leroy (40); George (22); Newton (15); William (13); Judson (10); Houston (6); Sam JESSEE (30); Knox County, TN 3. Hall, R.T. (40); Susan (23); Andrew LOVELESS (21); Andrew COLE (18); Van MORGAN (18); John (13); James (11); Bedford County, TN 4. Hall, R. T. (55); Cynthia (50); Margarett (17); Mary (15); John (12); Sarah (7); Alfred JONES (23); Martha A. (20); Martha BALL (16); Sumner County, TN 5. Hall, Uriah (69); Martha (41); John (12); Clemintine (9); Benjamine (6); Knox County, TN 6. Hall, William (58), Eliza (45); Martha (19); Caroline (16); William (14); John (12); David (10); Andrew J. (8); Washington County, TN Even if no one can help me identify these families, maybe it will help someone else. Thanks, Cathy

Hello list, looking for a HALL researcher doing some digging in Warren & Wahington county, NY. Some of the names I am looking for is Hial Hall and Lucinda Morehouse married 1836 or 1838. Thanks. Bert and Kathy Hay Tifft

Does anyone have access to the Illinois Death Index? I need three lookups James H. Hall born in 1812 died? John W. HALL BORN 1852 died probably in 1930s or 40s Joseph H. Hall born abt 1850 probably died in 1930s or 40s It would really be appreciated. sincerely Rodney Hall Subknave@msn.com

I've been a "silent partner" for some time while searching for my relatives through different tips from this list, through "snail mail", and have had wonderful luck through Marilyn Labbe, Research Director of the Killingly History Center in CT, and the City Clerk in Worcester, MA. My family had taken my Dad's family notes and stories as the absolute truth, but we've found that he only had part of the story. I now know that my great-great grandfather was Ebenezer Hall, who was married twice; first, to a Thankful Casey, with whom he had 3 sons (Ezek, Jared & Alvah). Through his second wife, Hannah Shippee, he had (among other children) my great-grandfather, Alfred D. Hall. (Others were Freeman, Thankful, Harriet & Martha Jane). I learned that Alfred D. also married twice; the first time to Eveline Fuller, the second time to my great-grandmother, Eliza Slate Ellingwood. I have most of the birth/death/marriage dates on these relatives, as well as cemetery listings on a lot of them, if any of the names strike a chord with anyone. I'm so appreciative of the kindness of others -- I'm such a novice that I feel sometimes I ask dumb questions. I've got a long way to go, but receiving a certified copy of Alfred D. & Eliza's marriage certificate this week has given me a fresh breath of life. --Dorothy Hall Knight

Hello List, I am new to the list and am searching for connections to my 3rd ggrandfather, Benajah Hall. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War from Dutchess Co., NY, and apparently returned there after the war. In 1781, Benajah moved to Windsor, Hartford, Ct. Eventually he settled in Sempronius, Cayuga, NY where he died on 4 Nov 1840. I am interested in Halls from Dutchess Co., NY, hoping to find parents for my Benajah. Thank you, Bill Hall Blair, NE Blair, NE

Just my occasional reminder, for those new to the list: I have collected a fair-sized database of Scottish HALLs from the county of AYRSHIRE, which is in the south-west of the country. If your ancestor mentioned his home as being in Scotland, or specifically a place in Ayrshire, let me know and I'll check my list. Cheers! Bobbie Madison Hall Chicago, usa

Hi I'm new to the list and am searching for information on Andrew HALL who was born in 1829 in New Market England. He married we think in 1860 to Jeanette LA FRANCE.

James died in 1941 in Rosalia, WA Thanks Vicki at dmlvjo@juno.com ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Marsh Paul J Wheeler Paine Durkee Stephen Powers Wm. M. Whipple William Dodge Elias Powers Military Croydon has furnished to the militia the following Officers: Major General Nathan Emery. Colonels--Jarvis Adams, Otis Cooper, Freeman Dunbar, Daniel R. Hall, Calvin Kempton, Samuel Powers, Nathaniel Wheeler, Jr., and Moses Whipple. Majors--Abijah Powers, Peter Stow, Lemuel P. Cooper. Remarks: The first birth in Croydon occurred May 13, 1767. It was of Catherine, daughter of Moses Whipple, Esq. The second was of Joshua, son of Seth Chase, born Oct. 29, 1767. The probable number of births, from 1790 to 1851, inclusive, is nearly twenty-five hundred, of which more than half were males. Longevity--An incomplete list of the names of those who have attained to ninety years and over: Widow Marsh 90 Widow Giles 94 Thomas Blanchard 98 Mrs. Benjamin Cutting 90 Samuel Marsh 94 Widow Rumble 100 Widow Clement 93 Widow A. Stockwell 95 Samuel Goldthwait 93 Mrs. Jotham Ryder 94 Capt. Nathan Clark 90 Lydia Leland Powers 92 Samuel Metcalf 93 Education--Early, the wife of Moses Whipple, an intelligent and worthy lady, called the children of the first settlers to her house, and for years taught them without charge. The first school-house, a small structure twenty feet square, was built in 1772, and eight pounds was raised for purposes of education. The second district was formed in 1780, and one hundred and fifty dollars assessed for school purposes. >From the beginning, Croydon has paid due attention to mental culture. Library--The "Croydon Social Library" was established in 1806. It contained many standard works of great merit. They were mainly selected by the Rev. Jacob Haven, who was, for a long time, librarian. This library has had a decided influence in moulding the character of the young men of the town. The inhabitants of Croydon have been a reading people. Casualties--In 1770, Caleb, son of Seth Chase, the first settler in town, wandered into the forest and was lost. The mother, rendered frantic by the loss of her son, had she not been prevented, would have rushed into the trackless forest and been lost. On the morrow all the inhabitants turned out and searched the woods through and through, but no trace of the darling boy could ever be found. Isaac Sanger and one of the other early settlers of the town, perished while attempting to cross Croydon Mountain. Alexander Metcalf, son of Alexander Metcalf, senior, was killed by the falling of a tree. He was to have been married the next day to a lady in Franklin. Abijah Hall was drowned at the "Glidden Bridge" in 1812. A son of Thomas Whipple and a son of Giles Stockwell, senior, were drowned in Spectacle Pond. On the 19th of April, 1828, the dwelling of Mr. Charles Carroll was consumed by fire and two children perished in the flames. Dr. Reuben Carroll was thrown from a gig, in 1840, while going down the hill between Four Corners and the East Village, and was killed. Son of Nathaniel W. Brown was killed near the Bridge at the East Village in 1863, by the horse stumbling and falling upon him. In 1846, the wife of Paul J. Wheeler, met a terrible death by burning--her clothes taking fire as she stood warming herself before the stove. Mr. Cummings, an old gentleman, went out from the Flat towards Coit Mountain, and the next day was found dead. A son of Simeon Ames fell from a load of hay upon the handle of a pitchfork which penetrated his body, from which accident he soon after died a most painful death. Son of Ira Bragg fell from the cart-tongue while riding, and the wheel running over him killed him instantly. Another son was supposed to be murdered. He went West with money to buy a farm, a man went out with him to show him his land, and neither of them ever returned. Ziba, son of John Cooper, was killed by the kick of a horse which he was driving to tread out clover seed. A daughter of Foster Hall fell into the river, at the East Village, and was drowned. A child of Rev. Jacob Haven was scalded to death by falling backwards into a pail of hot water. Asa Kelsey, residing on the south-east corner of the town, fell from a building and was killed. A son of Leonard N. Kempton was drowned in the mill-pond at the Flat. Son of John Melendy was killed by the falling of the stone chimney of his father's dwelling. A daughter of Robert Osburn, in the north-east corner of the town, fell into a brook, was carried under the causeway and drowned. A son of James Perkins was drowned by falling into the brook near his father's dwelling at the Flat. A son of Ezekiel Powers was caught between two logs, while peeling bark and crushed to death. Willard, son of Urias Powers, fell from the "Glidden Bridge" while on his way from school and was drowned. A son of Jotham Ryder was killed by a cart-body blowing over and falling upon him. Wife of David Rowell killed by lightening. Her infant sleeping on her arm escaped uninjured and lived to manhood. Joseph Smart went out to catch his horse one Sabbath morning, was soon after found dead. Griswould, son of Aaron Whipple, killed by running under an axe which was thrown from the frame of the house, at the raising. In 1861, Edwin, son of Moses Whipple, while returning from the Post-0ffice, at the Flat, one dark, rainy night, the string-piece being jarred in toward the middle of the bridge, walked off and met a sad death amid the rocks and angry waves below. Epidemics--In 1795, the "Canker Rash" prevailed to an alarming extent among the children. Of twenty-four deaths that year, twenty were under fourteen years of age. In 1813, the "Spotted Fever" made its appearance in a most malignant form, defying all remedies and cutting down the strong men almost without warning. Of thirty deaths in town that year, eighteen were from that disease. Four Corners--Being in the center of the town and on the Croydon Turnpike the great thoroughfare, and having a church, tavern, store, and offices and shops, the Four Corners was once the center of trade; but railroads diverting the long travel, and the want of water power, has caused its decline.

So far as I know I have no connections to this Robert Hall. I found this and though it might help some of the others Hall researchers that was looking for a Robert Hall find him.
