I am seeking information about Dr. Richard Lingan Hall. I have seen the following but am unable to contact the person who submitted it to Genforum because theri email address did not work. He had 2 illegitimate children with HANNAH LUDWELL LEE, dau of Thomas Lee. She was the first wife if Gawin Corbin. Gawin died in 1760. Hannah and Richard wanted to marry, but could not because Richard was a Baptist. Their children were a son and a daughter who took the Corbin surname: Elisha HALL Corbin born 1763 and Martha HALL Corbin. Richard Lingan Hall died 1774, left a will probated in Fauquier Co VA. Now, I know from lookups that other people did for me and from documents I have the following: Richard Lingan Hall's mother MARTHA married Richard Hampton SR who died in Fauquier Co VA in 1766 as her 2nd husband. Martha died cMay 1772. Richard Lingan Hall was listed in Richard Hampton's will as a son in law. However, it appears he was really a stepson. Richard Lingan Hall had a sister MARY whose husband was Compton Williamson. They resided in Calvert Co MD in 1772 Richard Lingan Hall became the guardian of Richard Hampton's daughter, Elizabeth (who later married James Salughter). In 1772, Dr Richard Lingan Hall bought land from William Hampton and Richard Hampton, the sons of Richard Hampton SR, in Fauquier Co VA which had been devised to them to sell by their father's 1766 will. The will stated that after his wife Martha died the land was to be sold. Remember that Martha was also Richard Hall's mother. My question is this: In her book THE VENTURERS about the Hampton family, Virginia G Meynard states that Dr. Richard Lingan Hall married Martha Hampton, the daughter of Richard Hampton SR. If this is true, then Martha Hampton could not have been the daughter of Martha, " widow Hall", Hampton, or Dr Richard Lingan Hall would have been marrying his own sister. However, if Martha "widow Hall" Hampton was NOT the mother of Richard Hampton's children (William, Richard, Elizabeth, Martha, and Sarah) then he could have married his STEP sister Martha Hampton. However, where was she with all the shenanegans with Hannah Ludwell Lee? If anyone has concrete data about this, or could give me Virginia Meynard's address that I might ask her directly the source of her information, I would appreciate it. Regina Roper
