Hi Jim, Does you John Hall, Jr, have any connections to the Wilkes Co., NC Halls? There are several John Halls there. If so, I suggest that you and any other with Halls from this area check out this excellent and resourceful site: http://aesir.damerica.net/~dhardy/Notes/hall.htm Thanks and email me if anyone finds a connection there. lwg ---------- From: Tambaymar@aol.com[SMTP:Tambaymar@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, October 02, 1999 9:40 AM To: HALL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: HALL & BEETEM - southern IN >From Madison, Jefferson County, Indiana: We're trying to fill in some knowledge gaps about the family of John HALL, Jr. (b. abt 1811). It has been presumed that he was married to Mary Pherigo (b. abt 1820 KY), although his wife might have been Mary WOODS. He may have been married a second time to Mary PECK CHAPMAN, a widow with children. Can anyone assist with information about his last four children by his first marriage, who are a mystery to us: Lewis HALL (b. abt 1842 in Jefferson Co IN) Elsa HALL (b. abt 1844) m. 20 Jun 1866 to Thomas BEETEM (?) Eliza E. HALL (b. abt 1846 Jefferson Co IN) Richard HALL (b. abt 1848 Jefferson Co IN) thanks, -- Jim Patrick, Tampa, Florida ______________________________
