Hello Paul, I am helping a friend. His name is Ed Hall. So I will forward your e-mail to him. I do know this much.... His family always referred to this person as EDWIN R. HALL. (but the death certificate says Edward; we think that the latter is a typo.) Anyway, the July 16, 1924 KY Death Certificate indicates that he was a retired farmer, age 89. (So he was born ABT. 1835.) I would suspect that your HALL's and my friends HALL's are cousins. Thanks, Deborah
