Known children are: Daniel HALL bn c1835, Benjamin HALL bn c1837, Josiah HALL bn c1838, Azariah? HALL bn c1840, Mary Ellen HALL bn 1842, Elizabeth HALL bn 1847, Albino HALL bn 1848, and Abner Webster HALL bn 1849. There is also in their household a Susan MARSHALL, 13. I have no idea how she fits into this family. In the 1925 IA census, Abner gave his father's bplace as OH, so will assume this is true. If true, would it be most likely that John was bn in WashingtonCo, OH? I have made a number of lookup requests to find the marriage record for John and Anna in OH with no luck. Is it possible that this record has simply been lost or is it possible that John and Anna did not marry in OH but went across a state border to get married? If so, would they most likely have gone to WV or KY? Is it possible that Ohio as John's birthplace could really refer to OhioCo, WV? John apparently died before 1858 as I next find Anna with Josiah and Mary Ellen in WarrenCo, IA. Josiah md in 1858 WarrenCo, so know they were there before this date. I have not found Elizabeth in IA yet, but she was still a child and most likely went to IA with her mother. It is possible that Daniel and Benjamin, the 2 older boys, stayed in OH. There is also a Daniel HALL living close to John B HALL in the 1850 census. They at least were on the same page. Were Daniel and John B brothers? You can find this family on my site at http://members.tripod.com/~GeneaNel/miller/millpage.htm Any ideas, clues, connections, questions on this family would be appreciated. Always willing to share. Cheers, Nel
