Rita, I am truly hurt to hear of Monty's death. I am a cousin on the REED side. My GF and his dad were either brothers or cousins(?). If available and not too much trouble, I would like to have his SAR papers since they directly affect me and my search for membership in the SAR. Please accept my sincere condolences and thanks for letting me know of this sad news. Paul Hall **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489

My grandfather is Walter Hall, who listed his parents as Simpson Hall and Dora Charles. I found a census in 1900 who lists the head of the house as "Limp" which may be due to dialect. His wife is listed as Eldora and children as Denisa, Walter, Algion and Emma. My grandfather is buried in the Winchester cemetary and his headstone says his birth was 1889, but I have found records that indicate he was born later, about 1894. He said little of his past, to my mother who was his youngest child, except that he didn't live his whole childhood with his parents, but lived with whoever would let him work for a place to live.

I decided to send these messages to the Co. of Estill Ky. as it is Co. where this is happening. Maybe someone doing Genealogy there will jump in and check this out. I have a premonition there is something to the reason the man went there. I guess Estill is not a Co. with a Co. site with rootsweb. so I've chosen to send to another nearby Co. that shows up to be a subscribe to one. . My reply is below.
