I'm researching my husband's Hall line in Northern Virginia -his grandmother was a Hall and although we knew they had been in Northern Virginia 100+ years, no one ever said much about the Hall line beyond her grandfather - I know why, now! Her great grandfather was murdered in 1855 and that's one of the first things I found when I started this line - and I've since been able to piece together some of his ancestry from court records but not who his parents were or anything about his wife. And none of those alive today in this line - ever even knew about the murder - I've located the inquest papers and his death bed statement, etc.. but not much on his ancestors. Any one researching the Hall surname in Northern Virginia?? Diana
