Ann, If you remember we have corresponded in regard to the Stroup and Hall families. Just not at the same time. Let me see if I can make this simple. William is the son of Jesse Hall whos father was William Hall and mother was Hannah Lain (last name not confirmed). Jesse's brothers were Abner C. Hall and Isaac Hall. Isaac lived in Macomb Co and Abner died in Macomb Co. This is where it gets tricky. Abner's daughters Sarah (Sarah Gamber), Susannah (Conklin), and Hannah (Stroup), These would be William's cousins are all related to me as was Rebecca's brother's wife, Evert (Catherine Stroup). Hannah Hall (Samuel Stroup) was also Catherine's sister-in-law. As for William's sisters. Sally is Sarah and Lizzie was Elizabeth. There was also a Mary. William and his sisters (including Rebecca)were all named in a law suit in regard to their grandfather's property when he died. I hope this has not been too confusing! __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
