Verna, We may have the same family, although I am deadlocked on it too. My great-great grandfather, LEONARD HALL, was born in Delaware County, NY in 1815. He married Lucy Adeline Winder on Nov. 20, 1845 at Ft. Atkinson, Jefferson County, WI. He died on Apr. 30, 1866 in Jefferson County, WI. Have all his descendants, and a full line on the Wilder family. Have never been able to find Leonard's parents or siblings. What is the connection of your Chester Hall with Wisconsin? Is it possible that these two are brothers? A move to Minnesota from Wisconsin would be believable. Joan Hall Alyea
