Louann, hello! My family of Halls had births at Pennline, and Linesville, Crawford Co. on the state line of Pa. and Ohio, too. It's another hotbed of Halls, as is the county across the state line, Ashtabula, Ohio, Pierpont twp.. I've not got the genealogy figured out there's so many and can't even find my own family there (I went there in person). But I do encourage you as there are Halls there. I'm searching Tomas Hall b. ca. 1825, in PA, but both parents, another Thomas, were b. inVt. dates, places, and names unknown. The younger Thos. was said to have a brother William M. Hall. I wishI could be of more assistance. Do keep my family in mind as you continue your research. Thanks. Ruth Sanford Reetz, searching 20 years for Ebenezer Conklin Sanford, b. 1820, NY. At Pennline I found a Cornelius Hall - is that your line? Louann Hall wrote: > I am searching for the parents of Alexander Lawson Hall.
