Hi Shirley, Many thanks for your helpful information. My great aunt Ruth Adella Beall married a descendant of Benjamin Hall, brother to Edward Hall, and s/o Rev. Henry Hall. I had not connected Mary Belt to Edward Hall so that was a welcome correction. Actually I believe Edward Hall died before 11 Jan 1741/2 as his will was written 4 Dec 1741. Perhaps a small detail.
