Is anyone doing any research on the Richard Hall who was a squatter in the area called "Blooming Rose" in present-day Garrett County Maryland? He was later given legal title to his land. In particular, does anyone know if a descendant from this line has ever submitted a sample for Y-DNA analysis? We would like to know more about this family, to be better able to discern if we have a connection them. I have transcribed Richard's will, and will post it on the site if any one is interested. The information noted below is unproven. It is not our work, and it's compiled from several sites on the Internet without documentation. Help, please.
