First I want to thank everyone who sent me some leads. I posted on 2/20 the following: Mahlon raised his family in Bourbon County, Kentucky. I am trying to locate Mahlon's father I checked the 1791 Bourbon County, Kentucky tax list I found several Hall's listed; Aron, Caleb, Joshua, Orasha, Thomas and William. I FOUND that Caleb is Mahlon's father and now have the history back to Leonard HALL about 1730 in Maryland and died in 1809 in Barren County, Kentucky. Seems that this Hall family lived in several Counties in KY, large land owners. A researcher told me about a book "Life and Times of Leonard Hall" , copy on microfiche at the LDS, they had the copy and WOW I am overwhelmed. The book is well documented and the author had copies of the original documents, land, wills etc. I copied several pages and will be pulling all the information together and will post it very soon to the list. Just had to pass on the good news and say thanks Barbara Guinn HALL LINES: DEWITT CO, IL - BOURBON CO, KY - BEDFORD CO, VA - FREDERICK CO, MD
