I to was a Hall, I had a wonderful, strict Dad, he was good to me. My Daddy was one that would tell you if he knew anything, the only thing when he was around to tell me stuff I was not interested in Genealogy, which upsets me now. The Uncle that is still living and could tell us, will not. My Hall side and Pennington side is going to be a brick wall, cause no one will talk. My Grandpa Benjamin Franklin Hall was a General Baptist Minister, he married Rebecca Pennington in Letcher Co KY in 1889 Barb Hall Carlile ----- Original Message ----- From: "J HALL" <Jrh22@hotmail.com> To: <HALL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 6:06 AM Subject: Re: Why we do it! > Nancy, I know how you feel about some of the Halls,,,I have some in my data > base also that will not share,,I guess it is in the Hall nature.
