There is an estate file in box 1, 13 (one of the oldest boxes that survived the fire) in Wayne County Illinois for J. T. Hall and the administrator of this estate is Mary E. Hall. I have a problem with the children that continually are attributed to William Hall and Rebecca Warfield. In the 1870 census these are the children that are listed and they don't match up in time and birth to the ones that are posted 1. JOHN1 WARFIELD died January 19, 1854 in Hamilton County, Illinois. He married REBECCA .......... She was born Abt. 1800 1, and died Aft. 1854 2. Children of JOHN WARFIELD and REBECCA ......... are: 2. i. REBECCA2 WARFIELD, b. 1830, Illinois; d. Aft. 1854. ii.
