I think I need to throw this in. My Mother was the Hall. My Father, if you can call him that, was a Blevins. My Mother's side is Hall, Morisset, Brazeal, Harvill, Stubbs, Vandergriff and some of us think Bullard. The Hall's arrived in Christian Co. Mo. 1840. One of the ones I can't find much on is Lige (Elijah) Hall b. ca. 1885-95. His father was Joel Hall b. ca. 1887. I don't have a date for Joel's b. day either. And all I know is that he died young. I will be going to Christian Co. in March to do research for 11 blissful uninterrupted days!!!! Lige went to the Bitterroot Mt.s in Mt. and died there ca. 1963. His brother, Alva Franklin Hall b. 12 Sep. 1888 was my grandfather. Thank all of you for your help and caring.
