Date: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ============================================================================= == General Notes (Husband) ============================================================================= == Hall is an extremely common English surname, found widely in Scotland also, Denoting someone who lived near a large house,or who was employed in a manor or Hall. In Ireland, it is most common in Ulster, where its source is Predominantly Scottish; the Halls were one of the outlaw "riding clans" who migrated to Ulster when their dominance over the Scottish Borders was broken by James I. The name is particularly associated with Co. Antrim. Elsewhere, it is also found in Munster, brought during the sixteenth and seventeenth century plantations, and in Leinster, due to the long association of parts of that province with English rule. It is rare in the western province of Connacht. [Source: Greham's Irish Surnames, Author, John Grenham] I wondered whereabouts near Belfast Loughguile was situated. It is a small village in County Antrim, 13km to the east of Ballymoney. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 321 people. There is a church in the area. Civil Parish of Loughgiel Hugh McLean The Civil Parish of Loughgiel, approximately ten miles South \endash South East of Ballymoney, near the storied Glens of Antrim, is situated in the Baronies of Upper Dunluce and Kilconway and is a completely rural Parish. It is bounded on the North by Armoy, on the West by Kilraughts, on the South-West by Killagan, on the South by Dunaghy and Newtowncrommelin, on the East by Culfeightrin, Layde and Grange of Layde. The Parish has fifty-eight townlands, rising in some parts to lofty heights of which Slieveanorra Mountain (1676 ft) is one of the main summits in the Antrim range. Loughgiel is a fairly extensive Parish, taking its name from a lake in the townland of Castlequarter, (Castletown) within the wooded demesne of Lissanoure. One must realise that place names and townland names are often the oldest fragments of the Irish Language remaining alive in a district and while they are now modernised, the present forms are often derived from the ancient Irish. Alterations in the spelling and pronunciation have taken place down through the years, thus the spelling and meaning of "Loughgiel" may be different from that used by our ancestors centuries ago. In reference to the Ordnance Survey Memoirs, Vol 13, The Institute of Irish Studies, Queen's University of Belfast in association with the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin tradition affirms that a small, now ornamental Islet, near the centre of the lake, had a dungeon, which has long since fallen into ruin. Tradition also affirms that prisoners were held here before being executed on trees which still stand on a hill to the South of the lake and still known to this day as "Tulach-na-Croch" or "Gallows Hill". The name "Loughgiel" may have assumed many names down through the years, thus we have "Loughgule", Loughgeel" or "Loughgeil" to name but a few. The present day spelling of "Loughgiel" meaning "Narrow Lake" or Lake of the Narrows", or the spelling "Loughguile" meaning "Lake of Brightness" or "Bright Lake" are most commonly used. As in most things, nothing last forever, but as long as the name "Loughgiel" is used, the quiet beauty of its situation will ensure the history of the area will never be forgotten. Alexander received a land grant of 160 acres in Tyre,Michigan on 07/30/1875 Found in the 1851 census for Murry Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. "HALL, James, laborer b. Ireland 46, Jane b. Ireland 50 Canner, Eliza, b. Ireland 8 HALL, Alex, b. Ireland 29, Catherine b.

James probably was an older brother of Alex. They lived together.

In 1874/75 they moved to Tyre,Michigan to homestead. On 03/05/1888 Alexander sold the 160 acres to his son William Alexander Hall. FAMILY STORYS: This information has not been verified yet. In the Hall family it was traditional for Alexander to name first son William and William to name his first son Alexander. Alexander was born near Belfast,Ireland. He met Catherine McCauley/McAuley in the mountains near Belfast, picking peat for fuel. She worked in a bakery at Ottawa, Canada. There was some trouble between the Orangemen and the Catholics and she was told that she better leave or she would get hurt. Alexander's father left England because the king and the Church of England were taking all the rights of the Catholics. He would not give up his religon. Alexander Patrick Hall was helping his brother and died when a load of hay he was driving turned over and smothered him near Port Austin,Michigan. >From Polly-Hall-Burley, Mike Hall's daughter According to the family lore I've heard, Alexander and Catherine didn't speak to each other for many many years (like15 - 20). Originally Alexander built a log cabin at the back of the 40 acres the farm house now sits on (you can't see much in the way or remains, but Dad knows exactly where it was). Then he built the original farm house (which burned down in the 40's). He never lived in that farm house. He lived in the log cabin. So I found it amusing when he was listed as a "widower". Unless,of course, there was a 1st wife back in Ireland that no one talked about. No one ever said this was an exact science <g>. I'll ask Dad about the accident,I know he's told me, but I've forgotten now. >From Barbara Lentz, daughter of Joan Morrison-Lentz Alexander worked in Port Austin during the week, and came home on the weekends. He had built himself a coffin back home, but when he died in Port Austin, they didn't return him home for burial. Some relatives took the coffin apart and found a stash of money... I guess he thought you really could take it with you. ============================================================================= == Medical Notes (Husband) ============================================================================= == He was driving a load of hay when the wagon overturned and smothered him. ============================================================================= == Death Notes (Wife) ============================================================================= == Information on death certificate given by son, William Hall ============================================================================= == General Notes (Wife) ============================================================================= == MacAuley and its many variants - Cawley, Gawley, Macauley, Magawley etc. - may be either Scottish or Irish in origin. They are anglicisations of two distinct Irish surnames, Mac Amhalgaidh ("son of Auley") and Mac Amhlaoibh ("son of Auliff"). The former derives from a native personal name now obsolete, and the family bearing the surname were rulers of a territory in what is now Offaly/Westmeath. The centre of their power was near ballyloughnoe in Co. Westmeath, at the heart of what the English called "McGawley's country". In Ulster, the name derives from Mac Amhlaoibh, incorporating a Gaelic version of the common Norse name "Olaf", the family claim descent from Amhlaoibh son of the first Maguire king of Fermanagh, Donn Carrach Maguire, who ruled at the end of the thirteenth century. The family are reputed to have conquered south Fermanagh for the Maguires. They gave their name to the barony of Clanawley in that county. Mac Amhlaoibh is also the Irish original of an entirely distinct family, the MacAuliffs of Munster, who are descended from Amhlaoibh MacCarthy. In Scotland also the surname and its variants, entirely coincidentally, have the same two distinct origins, from the Gaelic and Norse personal names. The MacAulays of Lewis in the Hebrides share their ancestry with the MacLeods. The MacAulays of Dumbartonshire are a secondary branch of the Clan Alpin. The Scottish origin is most common in the north east of Ulster, where a branch of the MacAuleys settled in the sixteenth century. In 1890 MacAuley was most numerous in Antrim and Donegal, with Gawley found chiefly in Sligo and Cawley in both Mayo and Sligo. Catherine McAuley (1787-1841) founded the Mercy Order of nuns, now active world-wide. She is depicted on the Irish £5 note. Dave McAuley (1961 -), of the Antrim McAuleys, was a well-known boxer. He became British flyweight champion in 1986 and IBF world champion in 1989. He defended the title successfully 5 times, before losing it in 1992 on a points decision which is still controversial. [Source: John Grnhams Irish Surnames} Catherine immigrated in 1845 according to the 1900 census for Minden Township, Sanilac County, Michigan. She was living with her daughter Bridget. ============================================================================= == Medical Notes (Wife) ============================================================================= == Contributory Cause; Rhumatoid Arthuritis ============================================================================= == General Notes for Child James Hall ============================================================================= == Information for James Hall was taken from the Huron County, Michigan Portrait and Biographical Album of Huron County published in 1884 James Hall, resident at Grindstone City, has operated since 1870 as a turner in the grindstone mills. He was born Feb. 24, 1852 in Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada and is the son of Alaexander and Catherine [McCauley] Hall. The family removed in 1862 to Mahoning County, Ohio, where James became a miner at the age of 11 years, working in the coal mines. He was employed in that capacity until he was 16 years old, when he came to Sanilac County, Michigan and spent two winters in the lumber woods of Austin Township. In the summer of 1868 he was employed in the saw-mill of Charles Durand, located one mile south of Sand Beach. Through the following summer he fished at Forestville, and came first to Grindstone City in the summer of 1870. He entered the employ of Huron Stone Comapny and spent two months stripping stone, after which he became a turner, and has pursued that vocation since. In 1778 he bought 160 acres of land on section 27, in Port Austin Township It was covered with the forest, and he has cleared and improved one-half the tract. He is preparing to devote his attention exclusively to breeding fine grades of cattle, and has now a herd which contains some excellent specimens of the Short-horn and Holstein breeds. He also owns 160 acres of land, with 30 acres improved, in Austin Township, Sanilac County, Michigan. Mr. Hall was married Nov. 28, 1878, to Bridget, daughter of Thomas and Catherine McCoy. They have two children, Catherine and Mary A. Mrs. Hall was born Feb 25, 1852 in Ottawa County, Ontario. Mr Hall has held the office of Road Commissioner, of Port Austin Township, in which capacity he excelled. ============================================================================= == General Notes for Child Joesph Hall ============================================================================= == Joesph Hall died at age 12 by falling off a gangplank in Buffalo, New York. ============================================================================= == General Notes for Child William Alexander Hall ============================================================================= == William A. Hall farmed the Hall homestead in Michigan and as a young man he went into the stone quarry business with a banker who later became govenor of Michigan, Albert E. Sleeper. He lost most of his land when a young boy who worked for him broke his legs on a grindstone wheel. The boy brought a lawsuit. He turned all his land except 40 acres to his wife's Aunt Caroline(Soule)Thomas. Later the lawsuit was dismissed in court. Then Caroline gave the farm back to Lucy Soule, his wife. According to land records in Sanilac county William Hall purchased 40 acres from his father on 1/21/1886 for $600.00. Also on 3/5/1888 he purchased 120 acres from his father for $500.00 Source Citation: Year: 1880; Census Place: Minden, Sanilac, Michigan; Roll: T9_605; Family History Film: 1254605; Page: 205.1000; Enumeration District: 341; Image: 0409.
