I am curious about the grandfather and uncle of Eleanor Roosevelt, both of whom were named Valentine HALL. We cannot seem to connect either of them with their ancestors. Is there a scandal involved? Were they recent immigrants? Perhaps these HALLs were Loyalists? Does anyone know this line? Best regards, Jim Patrick tambaymar@aol.com Searching Hall (PA>KY>IN), Patrick, Banta, Fallis, Abel, Pherigo, Shumway (IN), Brown (NY>OH>IN), Brown (VA>TN>IL), Casteel (TN), and many, many more.
