Marsha, You say "My records show Rebecca Hall b: July 31, 1831, d: Nov. 21, 1861 and is buried in the Hall Cemetery." I'm sorry, but I still don't see where the confusion is. This Rebecca Hall would certainly not be the one that m. Aaron Long. Her to tombstone would have said Rebecca Long, not Hall. Nuff said ~Lou

I hope everyone gets this. I've heard privately that not all messages have been received through the list (as I'd mentioned previously, I did not get my first 2 messages back the first time.) Wonder if Rootsweb's server had the hiccups? <g> Thanks, Gayle, for posting your information regarding Rebecca (Hall) Kester. I did some diggin' this morning and feel you are correct. The following is the Family Group Sheet I have for William HALL and Mary S. THIXTON. Please, if anyone has any corrections/additions, let me know. Thanx. Marsha William Hall, b: abt. 1785, VA; d: Jan. 25, 1838. Married Mary S. THIXTON on Feb. 23, 1805, Bullitt Co, KY. She was b: abt. 1784, VA, d: Sept. 29, 1846, Washington Co, IN and the daughter of John & Mary THICKSTON (w.d.: 4 Jan., 1800, Bullitt Co, KY .... see his Will info on their USGenWeb site.) Children: 1) Nancy, b: abt. 1806, KY, d: abt. 1848. Married Elisha WOOD on Nov. 11, 1824, Washington Co, IN (he was the son of Abraham WOOD and a brother to Jane WOOD, first wife of Anderson PAVEY.) 2) Asa, b: abt. 1808, KY, d: 1855, Washington Co, IN. Married Sarah RICHARDSON on Jan. 1, 1829, Washington Co, IN (they were the parents of Rebecca (Hall) LONG.) 3) Bluford, b: Apr. 22, 1811, Washington Co, IN; d: May 26, 1887, Washington Co, IN. Married Rachel GILSTRAP on Nov. 28, 1833, Wash. Co. (See Biographies project for Wash. Co.) 4) Mary, b: abt. 1812, Wash. Co, md: Paul KESTER II on Nov. 19, 1835, Washington Co. 5) Jackson, b: Oct. 2, 1816, Wash. Co, d: Oct. 24, 1887, Wash. Co, married: Sarah J. KESTER on Apr. 18, 1839, Wash. Co. 6) William, b: May 22, 1818, Wash. Co, d: July 13, 1890, married: Phoebe DURNIL Sept. 28, 1837, Washington Co, IN. 7) Rebecca, b: abt. 1821; d: Sept. 26, 1901, Washington Co, married: Wm.

Sorry for butting in here, but on Rebecca Hall md to William Kester .... Rebecca b. abt 1821 d. Sept 26, 1901. she appears to be d/o William Hall & Polly Thixton.

I came across some information while net surfing that a William WOOD (father of Jane Wood who married John TRUEBLOOD in 1811, Clark Co, IN) may have been the brother of Abraham WOOD (1758, PA - 1839, Washington Co, IN.) Does anyone have any information on these Woods? Abraham Wood had a daughter, Jane (by his first wife) who was the first wife of Anderson PAVEY (1790, MD - 1855, Washington Co, IN.) Abraham (according to his Rev. War Pens. App.) married Mrs. Nancy BOLIN on Sept. 15, 1807, Clermont Co, OH. No such marriage record can be found for this couple in Clermont Co (nor in IN.) Abraham Wood is on the 1807 IN Tax List. Another of Abraham's daughters, Nancy, married Robert GUY on Dec. 2, 1819 in Washington Co. I know that the Truebloods were originally from Pasquotank Co, NC area as was Anderson Pavey's (suspected) grandfather, Samuel Pavey. Does anyone know if the Truebloods had moved to another place before coming on to Washington Co? Thanks. Marsha

Hi Kay, Thanks so much for writing. I will definitely put that information in my files.
