Christy, Pat, Regina After reading your past messages they seemed close enough for me to inquire if any of you have a potential connection with my New York to Michigan Hall line: My first identifyable ancester was ABNER C. HALL who had moved into what later became Yates Co., N.Y., in time for the 1800 Federal Census, with his wife PHEBE LANE, b. 1 Jan 1772 in N.Y. I have no information on Abner’s parents, place of birth, or date of birth except that the census puts him between 26 and 44 (which would put his birth between 1756 and 1774). Abner and Phebe stayed in Yates Co. into the 1830’s raising two boys and six girls. Abner and Phebe left for Wood Co., Ohio but the children (including my ggg grandfather JOHN, his wife WATY BRIGGS and their first child, HARRY) all moved to the Macomb Co., Michigan area and settled there, with Abner joining them soon after they arrived (I assume Phebe died in Ohio). If any of this is familiar to you all, or anyone else, I need help in finding out where Abner and Phebe came from before 1800!!! Howard Hall Saver@hal-pc.org
