The NC Hall family I am reserching did not know how to spell correctly, plus I suspect middle names may be missing from the Revolutionary War pension of James Hall. Here is what I have (below), but you might also want to check the Hall board through GenForum. Below note the name Beda (Obedience>)--could her name also be Elizabeth? Does anyone have anything on this family of James Hall originally of of Wake & Johnston Co. NC but whose descendants went to Coweta Co. GA and then to Coosa Co. ALA? Revolutionary Pension Request form from 1820 (Johnston Co. NC) identifies JAMES HALL as having been born in 1757. It is difficult to read but he may have enlisted in the Patriot cause in Wake Co. NC or Johnston Co. NC and served several tours in the American militia or line--he served mostly in SC at the Battle of Stone Ferry and around Charleston, SC. Apparently he died in 1821, about a year after the pension was approved. His wife is identified as EDEA/EDY DELK HALL daughter of Jacob Delk. EDEA died in 1848, probably in GA. His children are shown as: Sally b. 1787 Mary b. 1789 Susanna b. 1793 James b. 1795 Edea b. 1797 John b. 1799 Rachel b. 1802 Reddick/Riddick b. 1805 Beda b. 1808 Green b. 1812 1820 Johnston Co. NC census Hall James 1 1 0 0 0 1 - 0 0 0 0 1 M1-10years = 1 M10-15 years = 1 M45 = 1 F45 = 1 In 1853 Reddick/Riddick/Redick and Green Hall filed papers with a court in Georgia (Coweta) about the pension. Apparently they had moved from Johnston Co. NC to Georgia., following perhaps their mother's Delk relatives to Cowetta Co., GA. They said they were the only surviving children of their parents, but that doesn't seem possible to me. I think more survived but stayed in NC or went to other states. In 1851 in the tax digest (first district), these names are listed: Reddick Hall Green Hall Bird Delk (perhaps a relative of the Hall sons' mother Edea Delk) 1870 census Hanover, Coosa, Alabama Hall, Green, 55, NC Concord, 45, GA Iverson, 22, GA Maranda, 19, GA Brazila, 18, (Male) GA ** Telafar, 16 (female) GA Ellen, 10, AL F.A.,8, (female) AL 1860 census Mt Olive P.O., Coosa, Alabama Hall, Green, 42, farmer, NC Concord, 35, GA Malisa N, 13, GA Iverson, 11, GA Maranda, 10, GA Basila, 8, GA ** Elafone, 6, GA 1850 census Division 19, Coweta, Georgia Hall, Green, 32,NC Concord, 23, GA Malissa, 4, GA Iverson, 2, GA Maranda, 1, GA Next door is the family of Riddich Hall, 45, also from NC Riddick/Reddick Hall's family in 1850 Coweta census: Reddick Hall - 45 b. NC Jane - 36(?) b. NC Evaline - 21 b. NC Louisa - 19 b. NC Nancy 17 b. GA Andrew - 15 b. GA William - 13 b. GA -- idiot In the 1860 Coweta census, other children are noted, although these may be the same ones: Lidia - 26 b. GA Jackson - 22 b. GA William - 20 b. GA I think they are careless with ages of children This family may be linked to my ZILPHA HALL(b.1798-2000) who married ALSEY PACE in Johnston Co NC in 1820. In the 1820 Johnston Co. NC census, an Alsey Pace and a James Hall lived close to one another. Zilpha and Alsey Pace named one of their children EDY, perhaps in honor of Zilpha's mother--I think she is the Edy Hall, child of James Hall and wife Edy.
