Marsha, You say "My records show Rebecca Hall b: July 31, 1831, d: Nov. 21, 1861 and is buried in the Hall Cemetery." Could she have been born Rebecca Hall? You give no information as to her proven parents.. You say "In the Posey Cemetery Listings, there is a Rebecca KESTER, b: 10/15/1831, d:9/26/1902, w/o William and dau. of Asa & Sarah Richardson Hall." It may be that this is the Rebecca who m. 1st to Aaron R Long, then m. 2nd to William Kester. Have you checked for a marriage record for a Rebecca Long to a William Kester? ~ Lou

Lou, Washington County Marriage Book F, pp 167 clearly identifies the parents of both Aaron Long and Rebecca Hall. I apologize if my previous posting left some confusion regarding this. Rebecca (Hall) Kester still remains a mystery to me.
