Sue--Wondering if your Hall family ties into my mother-in-law's. Her grandmother was Una Lee Hall (b 08Feb1894, d30DEC1984); great-grandparents were Charles Alexander Hall (b21 MAR 1863, d 7 JUN 1943) and Frances E. Moreland (b30AOR1870, d25SEP1918); great-great-grandparents were John D(?) Hall (b <1830> KY) and Nancy Thompson (b 25 DEC 1824 KY). Also, vent away! but please make sure your research ends up somewhere like the new genealogy library in Princeton--some of the Lyon County Historical Society members are trying to start a genealogy center, too, don't know if it will be at Rose Hill Museum or where--they've got lots of big plans going on right now & I haven't made it to a meeting yet to learn more. Jim Atchison or his wife Charlotte Atchison could probably tell you more--They live next door to Rose Hill, and volunteer when it's open--give tours & run the gift shop. Again, pleeeeease make sure it's findable for future generations. I'm still lamenting the missing research of Lida Peek Smith who died in 1968 when I was only 2. I don't suppose I ever met her, but in the mid-1950s my dad, who wasn't very interested at the time, saw a folder or folders that the research was in--she had him look through the research she had done. In the 1970s, her daughter asked Dad if he knew what ever became of it. No one has seen it in decades. I keep wondering how much of my digging is simply recreating what she already had, and how much farther I could be if I had her work!

I have a copy of a letter written on January 25, 1895 to John E. Hall of Confederate, Ky. from a J.W.Clark. Johnn E. Hall was the Uncle of a Mary T. Hall who lived in Gulfport, Mississippi. Mary's father, Thomas A. Hall was a brother of John E. When John and Thomas' father, Delaney W. Hall died he left a part of his estate to the children of Thomas Hall, as Thomas was dead. In this letter I have it says "I am in receipt of affidavits and papers showing that Mary T. hall is the only surviving child of Thomas A. Hall, deceased and that she is entitled to receive the money willed to Thomas Hall's children." He goes on and states that the affidavits and papers have been submitted to Judge Watkins for his opinion. Now, after all this rambling, I would like to know the following: Does anyone recognize the name J. W. Clark or Judge Watkins. Where would these affidavits and papers be and how can I find them. The letter was sent from Eddyville Kentucky, so you would figure they would be in County Court Records but I have been unable to find them. Would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you Sue Hall Mills ______________________________Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 13:29:31 -0600 (CST) From: "Ken & Peggy Gilkey" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KYLYON] Hall papers This is not an absolute reply, but to add a little mystery to your problem. A few years back a lot of Lyon Co., records took a truck ride to that great warehouse in the Sky. No, I am sorry, it wasn't in the sky, it was Frankfort, Ky. to be "warehoused" cause Eddyville didn't have the room to warehouse them. My guess is, this is more than likely where your lost records are. And your hopes of finding them could take years, if ever !!!

Do you think Frankfort will ever do anything with them, like index them, etc. I did find out that J. W. Clark was court clerk at that time. I wonder why copies or microfilm couldn't have been made and put in Lyon Co. Library before they were sent away. I have debated leaving all my genealogy material, books, etc to the Lyon Co. library but I think I will leave them to Caldwell County, where at least I know they will be where people can use them. I guess I am just being mean but it is aggravating when one has been researching their family for 45 years and something like this happens. Just had to vent. Here is a copy of a hand written item I ran across today in my papers and thought someone might get a kick out of reading it, Tennessee rolling Mills, Nov. 8, 1864 We the judges of an election held at this place for Electors of President and Vice President do certify that the Electors for G. B. McLellan for President and Geo H. Pendleton for Vice President received Ten votes and the Electors for Abraham Lincoln for President and Andrew Johnson for Vice President received none. Given under our hands this the 8th day of November 1864. James Ramey D. W.

Yes Cindy, your mother in law's family ties into mine. Charles Alexander Hall was a son of John G. Hall who was a son of John Hall and Mary Gray, who was a son of James Hall. We are still working on the question as to whether James Hall was a brother or ? of Martin Hall. They both came to Caldwell Co at the same time, abt. 1810 and their families were closely intwined. I descend from Martin, but your mother in law's ggggrandfather John G. Hall married Nancy Thompson, who was a daughter of Delaney Washington Hall, son of Martin Hall. Hope you don't find this too confusing. I feel sorry for whoever gets my research, that is unless I get it in some order, but I have already made up my mind to give it to Caldwell Co, and have told my family so. They would have to work long and hard on my many files, etc. but I do have quite a good library of genealogy books that anyone would be happy to have.
