Well, I'm not sure Eveline was unmarried when she appeared in the Allen-Davis household. Clarissa Wood was married--maiden name Davis. Maybe they were all related to Delia W. Davis. These are all "stretches" I know, but conventional searching has not produced answers of ANY kind, so I have to be faced with looking at the allied names--Allen, Davis and Wood. There's an awful lot of documentation about Halls, and a qualified researcher who has extensive info about Halls can find no Eveline born to a Hall. Of course we can't find one married to a Hall, either, but the marriage might not have been in Greene County. --perhaps NC--Eveline was born there. I have a picture of Eveline Hall probably taken 1880ish--she was a very attractive mature woman, with very large, kindly eyes. Since she's my husband's gr-grandm, I sure would like to know more about her. I just appreciate having you keep me in the loop--for it's touching on areas with many similarities. Maybe where there's smoke, there's fire. Hope springs eternal........... Do you have the Chipmans all the way back? The female lines are generally hard to trace, but Acenith Chipman is a Mayflower descendant--and those directly descended from her can also be members of the Mayflower Society. Since it's my husband's family, he and my children are members now. It was quite a thrill to make THAT discovery I can guarantee. Jan
