Posted on: Martin Co. In Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Martin/97 Surname: Hall, Mitchell, Baker ------------------------- Laura, I`m also researching these lines. I have some info on John Gregory Hall. He was my 3rd great grandfather. His father was Michael Raleigh Hall that was born in MD. in 1769. I don`t know what county. His mother was Susannah ____. John went by his middle name Gregory as did his son and grandson who were also named John. He was a Baptist preacher. Rumor has it that he 1st went to a seminary to become a priest. His father was Catholic. There are 3 generations of Halls buried at the Indian Creek Baptist Church Cemetery in Lawrence Co. IN. The Halls lived around the Silverville area. They crossed the Martin and Lawrence Co. lines. Gregory`s 1st wife was Mary Elizabeth Hedrick. His 2nd wife was Mary Mitchell. Gregory maried Mary Apr. 16, 1829 in Lawrence Co. IN. He was born Feb. 28, 1807 in Woodford Co. KY. Around the Lexington area. He died Mar. 14, 1881 in Lawrence Co. IN. He was also a farmer. He had 9 children that I know of. Richard Waldo b. 4-19-1829; James B. b. 8-5-1830 d. 10-28-1884, Thomas Quilla b 6-2-1832, Sarah Jane (Sallie) b 3-14-1834, Mary Ann (Polly) b. 2-9-1836, Francis Marion b. 2-25-1838, Susannah b. 12-19-1839, John David b7-11-1844, d. 7-29-1917, Jocie b. 4-8-1847. There were a lot of marriages between the Hall and Baker line. There is a book on Mitchells at the Lawrence Co. IN Courthouse. It is not my Mitchells. But it could be your line. There is also a Baker book there which is your line. There are alot of those Bakers buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery at the Crane Ammunitions Depot. It is open to the public on Memorial Day and the Sunday before. Other times it is open by special request. This cemetery is in a restricted area. You will be escorted there and escorted out. This cemetery is by a bunker. They have a book on every cemetery in the there. Rumor has it that the Halls migrated with the Catholic migration to KY; then on into IN. Nicholaus Baker was the father to Armstead and is buried at Silverville, Lawrence Co. IN. If I can be of further help to you let me know. Sue
