I have recently aquired a photo of a "Bessie Hall" The photo is B&W and she is standing outside in front of a Roman or Greek type sculpture in a huge garden. I'm not sure where she is. The photo on the back reads: "Bessie Hall Dec. 1947"  On the front Bessie has written, "This is me, Bessie." If you are a relation please email me and we will discuss the photo further. Thanks!

Sue, I don't believe he comes into the Halls that I am researching, but if you have the link handy, I would like to take a look at his photo. Thanks for offering to send it my way. I found something additional in the "History of Medford, Massachusetts" on Google books that gives Joseph F. Hall, Sr's. father as Willard Hall but no dates and no name of his wife. If you search on that book, it gives quite a bit of the Hall genealogy. I don't know much about the Medford Halls, but from this it seems possible that your Halls are of the Medford, Massachusetts Halls.

I don't know if any of these Halls are mine. None of the Paces are mine. Betty Pace -----------Frded message ---------- From: James Blair <jnb05042000@yahoo.com> To: pace@rootsweb.com Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 09:32:42 -0800 (PST) Subject: [PACE] Paces, Hails in 1805 GA Land Lottery Message-ID: <895167.61885.qm@web30507.mail.mud.yahoo.com> As I understand it, the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, which was the first of the lotteries, distributed Creek land around the Oconee River which had been taken from the Creeks by the Treaty of 1802. The area can be seen on a map at the TNGENWEB website (http://www.tngenweb.org/cessions/ilcmap15.jpg), and the treaty describing the boundaries is at http://www.tngenweb.org/cessions/18020616.html on the same web site. Shoal Creek, where several of the Rutherford Co Paces already owned land, is to the east of the 1802 ceded area. A website at http://www.1805georgialandlottery.com lists those entitled to enter the draw. Pace names are: Barnabas Pace (1) Dred Pace (1) Isaac Pace (1) James Pace (2) John Pace (1) Leroy Pace (1) Mildred Pace (1) Nathaniel Pace (1) Thomas Pace (1) Trion Pace (1) William Pace (1) William Pace Junr. (1) Willson Pace (1) Hard to be sure exactly who is who. Willson and Isaac Pace, as I understand it, appear later in Rutherford Co TN, so perhaps William Pace and William Pace Junr are also the same as the ones who appear in Rutherford Co TN. Barnabas could be Barnabas d. 1827, the son of Richard Pace and Elizabeth, or it could be his nephew Barnabas, writer of the letter, son of Drury Pace and Mary Bussey. Drury Pace (m. Mary Bussey) was dead by then, so this Drury in the lottery may be his son. I don't know which Dredzil is the one in the lottery. Barnabas and Trion Pace got lucky. (http://www.1805georgialandlottery.com/fdn_z.shtml) Hails in the lottery: Christopher Hail (1) Edward Hail (1) James Hail Junr. (1) James Hail Senr. (1) Jesse Hail (1) Obediah Hail (1) Thomas Hail (1) John Hailes (1) Isaiah Hails (1) John Hails (1) Interestingly, the will of a Christopher Hales was proved in Oglethorpe Co. (Oct 1814, Oglethorpe Will Book B, p103) apparently named his wife, BETSY, and mentioned children in the plural but named only one of them (James). He might have had a daughter Betsy as well as a wife. (Jeremiah Pace m Betsy Hails 7/16/1807, Oglethorpe Co, as posted at http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.pace/1514/mb.ashx by Gordon W. Pace on 27 Mar 2004) Also in the lottery: Ambrose Killingsworth. According to a posting to the ROOTS-L list at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ROOTS/1997-07/50285, Ambrose Killingsworth "was the son of Henry Killingsworth. He had a brother, Henry b.1772, twin sisters, Agatha and Mary b.1776. What happened to these children? Their father, Henry, was dead by 1782 and the girls were bound to Robert Gulley. The two boys were bound to Freeman Killingsworth." The will of John Hayles of Johnston Co. NC was witnessed by Freeman Killingsworth Sr. The will of Elisha Thomas (stepson of William Pace) was witnessed by John Gully and George Gully. The occurrence of these names seems to me to increase the likelihood that the John Hailes who bought land on Shoal Creek from James Pace was the son of the John Hailes of Johnston Co who married Cynthia Thomas, stepdaughter-in-law of William Pace. John Hailes did not win in the lottery. Obediah and Isham Hails were winners. I could not find Isham on the entrants list.

You mentioned your Halls being across the Ohio from Kentucky. Could you possibly have an Augustus Hall b. 1825 IN. m. 1860 Carrollton, KY. to Elizabeth Mason? He and his wife raised 6 kids there on the riverbanks between Carrollton, KY. and Ghent, KY. Augustus is my gr, gr grandfather and a very large brick wall.

They married and moved to Overton Co, Tenn, buried there too, I can't find her parents at all...and well his.,,.what can I say, he is from Ireland.

Hall born about 1843.  They appear in the  1850/1860/1870  census records, John with them in 1850 and 1860.  This is just a  lead as it is the only John P. in Elizabethtown with the right  birth date, but it would jive with the witness of an Igna.  Hall on J.P.'s Marriage Certificate to Sarah. I cannot  find any mention of  Halls in county or city histories. I should add, I have exhausted all avenues that I know of, been  researching  this dead end off and on for 17 years now.   Ancestry.com, all online Hardin  County Genealogy sites (google,  Cyndi's list, Elizabethtown, Rootsweb, Genweb,  Kindred Trails, etc.)  I've exhausted the Genealogy section of the St Louis  Library, all  libraries in Alexander County Illinois, all my cousins and  Aunts. Hardin  County just added some wonderful databases to their official website and found  the marriage certificate there. My last shot was hoping someone else had run  across this name in  their research in Kentucky or Southern  Illinois.  thanks Denise MSA **************Know Your Numbers: Get tips and tools to help you improve your credit score.
