My great-great-great grandfather, Garland Hall moved to Tennessee, and married a Penelope Strickland in Tennessee, and they later moved to Menard County, IL, where they died and are buried in Blue Mound, IL, in the Hall Cemetary. Garland seems to have been an orphan, with a sister, Patcye Hall, apprenticed to a local planter at around 11, whose father was an Amos Hall. We do not know the name of his mother or an exact death date for his father. We can't seem to definitely pinpoint his father, Amos', origins, although we are supposedly related to Dr. Lyman Hall, later of Georgia, but originally from Wallingford,Connecticut. And he had relations named Amos Hall from about the right period of time. Do you have any information that might connect your Halls to ours?
